Deadpool Creator, Rob Liefeld, Talks About Casting Cable

 

It was just yesterday that theories about Pierce Brosnan possibly taking on the role of Cable in Deadpool 2 first surfaced thanks to some very interesting photos on social media. However, they were far from confirmation of anything and as of right now, we still don’t know for sure who’ll play the iconic mutant. Sure, the former 007 would look pretty cool in the role, but nothing has been made official and 20th Century Fox seems intent on keeping quiet on the matter for the time being.

Asked by fans on Twitter for an update on where things currently stand with the casting, Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld had this to say: “Here’s what I know. Cable is the hottest role in Hollywood. The line goes out the door and off the lot. Believe it!”

Considering the fact that the first Deadpool was a critical and financial success it should hardly come as a surprise that actors are desperate to join the cast of the sequel in a key role, especially as we’ll likely end up seeing the hero getting more involved in Fox’s planned X-Force movie.
