"Deadpool 2" Will See Terry Crews and Bill Skarsgård Join the X-Force

When Brooklyn Nine-Nine meets Deadpool.

We've been hearing rumours that the X-Force (an X-Men group of sorts) will be introduced in the Deadpool sequel and today, after months of speculation, that rumour was confirmed via the Deadpool 2 trailer.

While not all the characters have been disclosed, Brooklyn Nine-Nine's Terry Crews plays Bedlam who, in the comics, has the power to create an electromagnetic field that can disable technology in the area. He also has the power to project pain and confusion on his enemies so there's that too.

Also, appearing in the X-Force are Zazie Beetz (Atlanta), Bill Skarsgård (It) and Brianna Hildebrand (First Girl I Loved), the latter of whom appeared in the first film.

But, what is the X-Force? you may ask. As previously mentioned, they're a bit like X-Men but more deadly and violent.

As Deadpool explained himself in the trailer: "We need them (X-Force) to be tough, morally flexible, and young enough to carry their own franchise for ten to twelve years."

You catch the ragtag gang in Australian cinemas on 17 May.
