Deadpool 2 Post-Credit Scene to Introduce 3 X-Force Members?

20th Century Fox recently pushed theDeadpool 2 production startby one week, with filming now slated to run between June 26 and October 6. As of now, that brief delay will not affect the June 10, 2025 release date, but it’s possible that one of the reasons for this delay is to round out the cast. A new casting report claims that three important characters are currently being cast, that will help lead into the upcomingX-Forcemovie, which has been in the works for some time. While this report has yet to be confirmed, there will be potential SPOILERS below so read on at your own risk.

ComicBook.com’s sources reveal that these three characters will be Sunspot, Feral and Shatterstar, who will all appear in aDeadpool 2 post-credit scene, which will set up theX-Forcemovie. Surprisingly, whileDeadpool 2(August 11, 2025),The New Mutants(July 07, 2025) andDark Phoenix(July 15, 2025) were all recently given new release dates,X-Forceis still waiting in the wings. There have been recent reports that bothDeadpool(Ryan Reynolds) and the recently-cast Cable (Josh Brolin) will headline theX-Forcemovie together.

As for these three new characters, only one has been seen on the big screen before, Sunspot, who was played by Adan Canto in 2014’sX-Men: Days of Future Past. The character’s real name is Roberto DaCosta, who first learned about his powers while playing soccer at the age of 14. He has the ability to absorb light, which gives him even greater physical strength. Feral, a.k.a. Maria Callasantos, has made her Marvel Comics debut in theNew Mutantscomics, so it’s possible that, at some point, she interacts with another New Mutants character fromDeadpoolandDeadpool 2, Brianna Hildenbrand’sNegasonic Teenage Warhead. In the comics, Feral is a cat-like mutant who has super-human senses and agility along with razor-sharp claws and a healing factor, and she has been a regular member of theX-Force.

The final new character is Shatterstar, a.k.a. Gaveedra Seven, who has also gone under aliases such as Benjamin Russell, Star, and Star Face in theMarvel Comics. This character is the son of Dazzler and Longshot, but thanks to different time travel story lines, he is actually responsible for the creation of Longshot. Shatterstar has hollow bones which make him lighter than most people, and he has eyes that can change from clear to silver. He is also an active member of theX-Force, who has been teamed up with Cable in certain story lines.

Ryan Reynolds returns as the Merc With the Mouth inDeadpool 2, which will not only introduce Josh Brolin as the iconic Cable, but also relative newcomer Zazie Beetz asDomino. It was recently reported that Leslie Uggams is coming back as Blind Al inDeadpool 2, with other originalDeadpoolstars such as Monica Baccarin (Vanessa Carlyle), T.J. Miller (Weasel) and Brianna Hildenbrand (Negasonic Teenage Warhead) expected to return also. David Leitch (John Wick,Atomic Blonde) directs from script by originalDeadpoolwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. Hopefully we’ll have more onDeadpool 2as we get closer to production starting next month.
