Ryan Reynolds just tweeted out a sneak peek first look at Josh Brolin as the popular Cable in the now-filming Deadpool sequel. This follows the first shot of Zazie Beetz as Domino in the film, opening in theaters June 1, 2018.
Deadpool 2 also stars Monica Baccarin, T.J. Miller, Brianna Hildebrand, Jack Kesy, Stefan Kapicic, Julian Dennison, and Leslie Uggams.
From the official Marvel Directory, the time-traveling Cable (the adult son of Cyclops), is “a mutant whose physical attributes have been enhanced to superhuman levels. His principal mutant powers are his vast telepathic and telekinetic abilities. He can employ the latter to levitate objects and to create protective force shields. He must continually employ his telekinetic powers to prevent the techno-organic virus from affecting the rest of his body. His techno-organic left arm and shoulder possess even greater strength than his entirely organic ones. Cable’s techno-organic right eye can see into the infrared portion of the spectrum.”
Cable made his first comic book appearance in 1990 in an issue of “New Mutants” and could eventually appear in that film franchise.
David Leitch (John Wick) is directing from a script by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick.
“We all have that one, grumpy, heavily armed Uncle from the future,” teases Reynolds.
