First Look At Deadpool 2’s Cable

So we know that in the upcoming Deadpool 2 movie, it will be featuring a new character in the form of Cable. In fact at the end of the first Deadpool movie, Ryan Reynolds (while in character) teased that Cable would be in the sequel, and sure enough he was. Many actors were reportedly tested out for the role before it was given to Josh Brolin.

For those wondering how Brolin might look like as Cable, Reynolds recently posted a photo onto his Facebook page which gives us a look at what we can expect. Unlike his comic counterpart who admittedly looks more futuristic, Deadpool 2’s Cable looks decidedly more “present”, save for his glowing eye and robotic arm, but otherwise we reckon that Brolin and the makeup team has done a pretty good job at nailing the look.

We’re not sure exactly what role Cable will have in the movie, so we’ll just have to wait and find out. This post follows a post from last week in which Reynolds also revealed another character from Deadpool 2 in the form of Domino who is played by Zazie Beetz. For those wondering why Brolin looks so familiar, it is also because he is cast as Thanos in the upcoming Avengers Infinite War movie.

Given that both universes exist separate of each other (since they’re owned by different studios), it allows Brolin to take on both roles without confusing fans too badly. Deadpool 2 is currently set for a release in 2018, so it looks like we still have quite a bit of waiting to do. In the meantime, yay or nay on Cable?
