The time travelling mutant Cable is set to make his big screen debut next year as Josh Brolin takes on the role in 20th Century Fox’s hotly-anticipated sequel Deadpool 2.
The character’s co-creator Rob Liefeld has taken to Instagram to share a set photo of himself alongside Brolin in costume as Nathan Summers, during which he sings the actor’s praises and promises that we’ll be “giddy” when we see what he’s done with the role.
