Deadpool is on the hunt for allies — and he wants them “tough, morally flexible and young enough to carry their own franchise for ten to twelve years”.

The latest full-length trailer for Deadpool 2 sees the foul-mouthed antihero recruiting for “a super duper fucking group” to help him stop time-travelling assassin Cable from murdering Ricky Baker from Hunt for the Wilderpeople.

This team turns out to be X-Force, who — in the comics at least — are basically the black-ops version of the X-Men.

Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead are back, while we also get a look at some new mutants played by the likes of Terry Crews, Zazie Beetz and Japanese-Australian actress Shiori Kutsuna.

Personally I’m still hanging out for Dopinder’s spin-off movie. But until that happens, this will have to do.

Deadpool 2 hits cinemas in Australia on May 17.
