Over the last weeks we’ve had a few images teasing Josh Brolin’s look as Cable in the upcoming Deadpool 2. Now we have our first official images, which Ryan Reynolds has tweeted out.
Cable is in many ways being the opposite of Deadpool: a man who is a leader and used to being obeyed, who is very controlled but with an aura of simmering violence. He has telepathic and telekinetic powers, and he also has incredible fighting skills, somewhat helped by the fact he’s been infected by a techno-organic virus, which has turned him into a part-cyborg.
This probably won’t be Brolin’s only outing as the character either, as he apparently signed a four-picture deal, which many assume means he’s also be a major part of the planned X-Force movie. Expect Deadpool 2 in cinemas June 2018, and take a the pics of Josh as Cable below. [Read more…]
One of the rules of Marvel’s Cinematic Universe is that actors are only supposed to be able to play one character (Paul Bettany slightly broke that rule by being the voice of robotic butler JARVIS and then playing Vision in Age Of Ultron), but Josh Brolin has found away around it. He’s playing Thanos in Avengers: Afinity Wars, and by jumping across to the world of X-Men (which Fox owns the rights for), he’s now going to play Cable in Deadpool 2.
Deadpool 2 will be introducing us to some more new mutants we haven’t seen on the big screen before, and one who’ll be taking a major role is Domino, the expert marksman whose abilities allow her to alter the laws of probability, allowing her to control things such as bullets that are in her field of vision. While a few name have been rumoured for the role, it’s now been revealed that Zazie Beetz will take on the role.
Although Logan and Deadpool seem like pretty much the polar opposites of the X-Men universe. Alongside Wolverine adventure Logan in cinemas this weekend comes a specially filmed teaser for Deadpool 2, letting us know the character will be back soon.
