David Harbour‘s acting career began way back in 2002, but with his role as Chief Jim Hopper on Netflix’s “Stranger Things,” I think it’s pretty safe to say that Harbour has now become a star. What’s next for Harbour? With Season 2 of “Stranger Things” headed our way this Halloween, we’re now hearing that he’s being considered to play Cable in Deadpool 2!
The Wrap reports that Harbour has been screen-tested for the role of Nathan “Cable” Summers by 20th Century Fox, though it’s important to point out that he has not, at this time, been cast. All we know is that Fox is apparently very interested in him right now.
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.
David Leitch (John Wick) is directing from a script by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick.
