2024 was a good year for Deadpool and Wolverine. The two had a smash hit movie and a number of successful comic series and miniseries. 2025 will see the duo teaming up together again with Cable and some other X-Men to take on Doctor Doom as Weapon X-Men.
Spinning out of the One World Under Doom event, the new series will establish the team as a lethal answer to deadly questions. Beyond the power trio of Wolverine, Deadpool, and Cable, the team will also include Chamber and Thunderbird. When there’s an enemy stronghold that needs taking, Weapon X-Men will get the job done. Naturally, their first mission takes them into Latveria in an effort to rescue captive Mutants. It is sure to be a trial by fire for the new team.

Weapon X-Men creative team outlined
The new series is the brainchild of writer Joe Casey. Beloved for his runs on X-Men and Cable, Weapon X-Men marks Casey’s return to the franchise. He will be partnering with Chris Cross, who will provide the art for the new ongoing X-Title.
“When I pitched this series over a year ago, I knew it was going to be big,” Casey shared. “But writing a brand-new, premier super-team of top-tier, marquee mutants as they take on some of the most iconic villains in the modern Marvel Universe has turned out to be even more fun than I could’ve dreamed of. If you’re a longtime fan of the expansive nature of the Marvel Universe, like I am, you don’t want to miss out. Weapon X-Men is going to be dangerous, unpredictable and classic all at the same time!”
Weapon X-Men #1 arrives in comic shops everywhere on February 19, 2025.
