"X-Force" has reportedly found a director. According to a scoop from ComicBook, Joe Carnahan ("The Grey") is attached to sit behind the lens for the "X-Men" spin-off. He is also allegedly writing the script with "Deadpool" star Ryan Reynolds.

The superhero lineup for the movie is still unclear, but "X-Men" director Bryan Singer once hinted that X-23, a female version of Wolverine, could join the team. The character introduced in the latest movie "Logan" is played by young actress Dafne Keen.

The "X-Force" movie hasn't got a release date. Reynolds is currently busy with "Deadpool 2" while Carnahan is working on "The Raid: Redemption" remake with Frank Grillo. He has also written an R-rated adaptation of video game "Uncharted".

"I probably wrote four of the biggest, f**kin' craziest action sequences I think I've ever written in that movie," he told Coming Soon. "I used the Uncharted games as a template but not using any one specifically, because those sequences have already been done beautifully. There's no point in just transposing them to film, you've gotta come up with new shit, so that’s what I did. It was a great challenge but it was a lot of fun."

"When I wrote Uncharted, I didn't spare the rod. I wrote it the way the video game is. They swear in the game, they're kinda foul-mouthed and I kept all that stuff intact and I definitely didn't write it as a 'PG-13' movie, I wrote it the way that movie should be written. I never understood the metric for, 'This will make X-amount more if it were PG-13.' PG-13 in a lot of ways is a cop out, and I think it’s been exposed as such."
