"Deadpool 2" has started its production, but up until now, fans have no clue who would be the villain in the movie and which actor would play the role.
The first film was released this year, and just a few months after its debut, they are already working on its sequel. But who could blame them as "Deadpool" became the highest grossing "X-Men" movie and is considered as one of Marvel's top earning films in 2016 - earning about 775 million dollars worldwide.
Now that Wade Wilson is back at it, fans are starting to wonder who he will be up against in "Deadpool 2." According to Hngn, Ed Skrein, who played the role of Ajax - the villain in the previous "Deadpool" movie - has a great idea on who "Deadpool" should fight next.
During an interview with the 33-year-old British actor, he stated that the villain that would be a perfect match for Deadpool is the Taskmaster. Skrein said that Deadpool and Taskmaster has a lot in common which makes everything interesting. The actor was quoted as saying "the only redeeming factor of Deadpool is his morals, right? Taskmaster does not have those morals, so he back-stabs and stuff like that."
Because of Skrein's statement during his interview, speculations about the Taskmaster being the antagonist in the upcoming "Deadpool 2" circled; however, Marvel has not released any confirmation about this topic.
Aside from possibly revealing the villain in the "Deadpool 2," Skrein also managed to confuse all the fans whether his character would be back in the movie or if he's just teasing. According to Movie News Guide, the actor teased that Francis Freeman, also known as Ajax, is alive and kicking and would be back in the film, although we all know that Deadpool already shot him in the head during their fight scene in the first movie.
Skrein said "He does come back... With an all-singing, all-dancing suit. They think he's been dead for five years." Although the actor is far too happy announcing that his character is alive, Ajax would not be seen in the upcoming "Deadpool 2," but most probably his character will appear on the succeeding franchise of the movie.
It is far too early to speculate on what to expect in the upcoming film because even the premiere date of "Deadpool 2" is still uncertain. "Deadpool 2" is expected to premiere either on the later part of 2017 or early 2018, so stay tuned.
