Deadpool 2 casts Jack Kesy as its villain, possibly Black Tom

May 24, 2017 by Ricky Church

20th Century Fox has just found its villain for the anticipated Deadpool 2. Deadline has reported The Strain’s Jack Kesy has been cast as the sequel’s unknown antagonist, though they  claim to have heard reports that Kesy will portray the X-Men and Deadpool enemy, Black Tom.

Black Tom is an Irish mutant who has the ability to manipulate and project energy through plant life and wooden objects, commonly carrying a shillelagh with him. He was created by X-Men writer Chris Claremont in 1976’s Uncanny X-Men #101.
