Deadpool’s comic book co-creator thinks Josh Brolin’s Cable needs to return in multiple projects after being absent fromDeadpool & Wolverine. Brolin’s Cable was one of the main characters ofDeadpool 2. Before Disney bought Fox, an X-Force movie was in development, which would have once again seen Brolin’s Cable alongside Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool, Zazie Beetz’s Domino, and more. However, theMarvel Cinematic Universehad other plans, with Brolin not being part ofDeadpool & Wolverine’s star-studded cast. Now, one of Deadpool’s creators wants to see Brolin return as Cable for the long haul.
On Twitter,Rob Liefeldcommented on how “it is a missed opportunity” not to have Josh Brolin back as Cable in the MCU.
According to Liefeld, Marvel should not only bring back the Cable actor, but have Brolin appear in multiple Cable/X-Force films. So far, Marvel Studios has yet to announce plans for aDeadpool & Wolverinesequelor potential spinoffs. However, based on the success of the film, which has become the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time with over $1.3 billion worldwide and counting, there should be plenty of opportunities for Cable and Deadpool to meet again.
What Rob Liefeld’s Cable Comments Mean
With his Cable comments,Liefeld continues to hope that Marvel will touch on more of Deadpool’s mythosthan Fox and the MCU already have. Cable has so much potential based on his rich comic book history, and Marvel Studios has already shown that it understands what the character can bring to the table with Cable’s role in the acclaimedX-Men ‘97. Brolin’s Cable was one of the most talked about aspects ofDeadpool 2, and Liefeld sees the potential in focusing more on him going forward.
