Josh Brolin, who plays Cable in Deadpool 2, has teased a four film arc for the character.
Deadpool was such a massive hit that there seems to be no limit for what can be achieved with the franchise going forward. With Deadpool 2 nearly upon us, one of the film’s stars, Josh Brolin, has talked about the future of his character Cable, and what fans can look forward to down the line.
Speaking to Empire Magazine (via Screen Rant), Brolin, who is also playing Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War, said: “We think about it in four movie terms. We tried to think of Cable as a full arc, not just in this movie, but in the trajectory of four films. That made it a lot more fun for me. I don’t like the idea of a franchise, personally, That’s what makes the Thanos thing really great. It’s a finite thing, and I like that.”
So it sounds like we should expect Cable to survive the events of Deadpool 2, return for a third entry, and possibly one more movie. Are you excited by this prospect? Or do you need to see his performance in full before jumping on board?
