One of the most talked about aspects of "Deadpool 2" is the eventual casting of Marvel comic book character Cable. Who will play Nathan Summers in the highly anticipated Marvel Cinematic Universe sequel? Producer Simon Kinberg has spoken up about the possibilities, and it looks like a film legend could play the time-travelling mutant!
The "Deadpool" post-credits scene already confirmed that Cable will be in the sequel. Ryan Reynolds' Merc With A Mouth did his best impression of Matthew Broderick in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" while dropping a few hints about "Deadpool 2". Wade Wilson mentioned several actors who could play Cable including Mel Gibson, Dolph Lundgren and Keira Knightly (don't ask).
Are any of these actors being considered for the role of Cable in "Deadpool 2"? Probably, but the sequel's producer Simon Kinberg has just mentioned that a legendary action star might end up playing the mutant.
