Guys… Meet Cable!
Well it was about time… After the first teaser, and the first glimpse of Neena Thurman / Domino (Zazie Beetz) here is the first official look of Nathan Summers / Cable in Deadpool 2.
Academy Award nominee Josh Brolin is in the role of Cable for the sequel. A time traveling soldier, who will be the latest menace for Wayde Wilson in the 2018 release of Deadpool 2. Ryan Reynolds and Josh Brolin himself shared the 2 official photos of Cable on the social media outlets and they are fantastic.
In the Marvel comic books, Nathan Summers/Cable is the biological son of the X-Man Cyclops (Scott Summers) and Madelyne Pryor (Jean Grey’s clone), the “half” brother of Rachel Summers and Nate Grey, and the genetic template of Stryfe. He is from a possible future timeline, having been transported as an infant to the future, where he grew into a warrior, before returning to the present.
