Deadpool 2 Cast Cable

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Tom Jane or Mel Gibson for me.

Cable is gonna be a very important character. As much as there is the dream casting of Stephen Lang or someone older. Fox also has to think who's gonna bring in the money. Who is someone they can market to the audience. You've got an X-Men world full of pretty top notch A listers already like Michael Fassbender, Hugh Jackman, Jennifer Lawrence, Channing Tatum, Ryan Reynolds, Oscar Isaac etc etc. Guaranteed Fox will chase Tom Hardy. And I'm down with that. Especially because he was in talks for Apocalypse. He was also close to doing Suicide Squad so he's definitely interested in getting back into the comic book movie game. I want Fox to get him in the X-Men world.

Gerard Butler.

Has there been recent versions of Cable that are a bit skinnier? I'm used to the way Liefeld drew him and I don't think there's a single human alive that is that muscular and still act.

 

[Web-Head]

Steven Lang will probably be busy filming the Avatar sequel

Like that X-Force concept art?
I never even knew Chris Evans could attain as big of a physique as he has now.
Realistically speaking, you could get a Banshee/Spartacus/Vikings/heavy-hitters-of-GOT type to play the role.

 

[CaptainCanada]

I'm going to throw Nikolaj Coster-Waldau's name out there.

Jaime as Sansa's son?

The short sightedness with some of these picks. You absolutely can't put an old man in this role. Mid 30s to late 40s is the age range. Someone who can play the role 10 years or more with out any loss of step. You can age someone through makeup.

Reynolds is 39... I'd like a 42-45 year old Cable

 

[Drizzle]

Lang wants it. I wouldn't mind seeing him in the role, but I'd like someone just a little bit younger (thinking late 40's-early 50's).

 

[Sithborg]

Whoever it is must be willing to get greased up with Ryan Reynolds.

Reynolds is 39 probably playing a 33 year old (MAYBE 35 by the end of the movie).

I'd like a Cable that looks 50-55 year old (who has pure white hair before 50? (Cable wasn't born with white hair was he?)). Anyway, If they cast Stephen Lang I'd probably be fine with it. Assuming he's not looking much older/less imposing than he did in Avatar.

I think I'd also be fine with Liam Neeson or (strangely enough) Daniel Craig. But I'm pretty open to relatively unknown actors as well.

EDIT: I like the Jon Hamm and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau suggestions too.

Little bit?15-20 years younger is a little? That dude is 64. Way too old.

In all fairness, Lang looks like he could pass for 55.

 

[marieylee]

Problem with Lang is that they would ideally want to cast an actor to play Cable for AT LEAST 5 years (probably closer to 10). How will his body hold up at 70?

 

[Smilodon]

Man, if Lang is willing to play Cable at 70 there's no excuse for Hugh to quit being Wolverine before he's 50.

That being said, no to Lang. Jon Hamm, Joel Edgerton, Karl Urban, any of those names but Lang.

It's been a while since I read some Cable & Deadpool and for w/e reason it seems like he's de-aged in certain issues. He's a time-traveler, so if Lang or any relatively 'old' actor can only do a single feature, I'd honestly wouldn't mind a recast within the same movie or the next one. It worked wonders for MiB 3 and Looper.

 

[David H.]

Guys the answer is right in front of us.

 

[Drizzle]

I'm actually going to be disappointed if Keira Knightley doesn't have at least a cameo in Deadpool 2.

 

[The Endless]

Thing with Cable is he's a time traveller. You could have a 60 year old Cable in one movie. Then the next could film could have a younger version who time travelled from a different point. Could be quite interesting actually.

Pretty certain Lang isn't doing the Wolverine workout like Hugh is. Hugh does a lot of work to get into Wolverine shape. It isn't something you want to do forever. Especially since he keeps having to have some medical procedures.

 

[mikeboydus]

I nominate Ray Stevenson, aka The Punisher

 

[Stark Bauer]

The possibilities are endless. Tom Hardy, Steven Lang, Jon Hamm are good choices. Here are mine:

1. Mickey Rourke as Marv was basically Cable with more swag

2. Dolph Lundgren is a dead ringer for Cable

3. Clive Owen plays serious better than anybody. Would be balls to see him give DP a look of disgust like this:

4. Liam Neeson looks just like Cable in this pic lol

 

[Thorne]

Seconded.

Yeah, I was messing around. I know Lang wouldn't be putting himself through what Hugh puts himself through to get into Wolverine shape with 6 months worth of training and all those 5 am mornings.

I wonder if Keira Knightly would be willing to play an actual character in the X-Men verse though. We joke about her being a cameo but...
