Now, eleven years later, perhaps it is that pairing that got Carnahan a job writing <strong>X-Force<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/collider.com\/x-force-movie-joe-carnahan-script#images\">Collider<\/a> is reporting that the writer\/director is writing a new script for the film. Writer\/director Jeff Wadlow was once attached to the project and wrote one version of the script, but that was before Reynold&#8217;s <strong>Deadpool <\/strong>broke box office records and changed the landscape of Marvel films at Fox. No word if Wadlow is still attached to direct, if Carnahan will replace him, or if another director is involved.<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t the first time Carnahan has been attached to a Marvel film at Fox. Back in 2012, he was flirting with doing a <strong>Daredevil <\/strong>film for the studio, but was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2012\/08\/14\/joe-carnahan-believes-daredevil-reboot-is-up-in-smoke\/\">turned away<\/a>. However, he was so interested in doing the film that he created a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2012\/08\/15\/carnahan-daredevil-sizzle-reel\/\">sizzle reel <\/a>to show what his take would be.<\/p>\n<p>His prior history with Fox might be one reason why Carnahan got the job, but his relationship with Reynolds might be another. With <strong>Deadpool<\/strong>&#8216;s success, Reynolds has gotten more say in how his corner of the mutant film universe will turn out. Since the X-Force team will be introduced over the next two <strong>Deadpool <\/strong>films, he might have encouraged Fox to hire his old director.<\/p>\n<p>No word on when <strong>X-Force <\/strong>will arrive, but Carnahan&#8217;s schedule might give us a hint. He is writing\/directing a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2017\/02\/15\/joe-carnahan-frank-grillo-raid-redemption-remake\/\">remake of <strong>The Raid<\/strong><\/a>, writing and directing <strong>Bad Boys\u00a0for Life<\/strong>, writing the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2016\/03\/05\/bruce-willis-death-wish\/\"><strong>Death Wish <\/strong>remake<\/a>, and writing the adaptation of the <strong>Uncharted <\/strong>video game series.
