According to a new exclusive report from The Hollywood Reporter, Josh Brolin will play Cable in Deadpool 2.
Per the report:
“Josh Brolin has nabbed the hotly contested role of Cable opposite Ryan Reynolds in Deadpool 2, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The production has been on the warpath to find the right actor for the role for months, with Michael Shannon almost nabbing the role and Stranger Things star David Harbour on the shortlist. (There were even rumors of conversations with Russell Crowe and Brad Pitt.)
In the end, Brolin emerged as a surprise contender, notching his second Marvel Comics character in the process; the actor plays the villain Thanos in the Marvel Studios movies. Sources say Brolin’s deal is for four movies.”
This is definitely an interesting choice, as it’s out of nowhere and Brolin is already Thanos in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
