Josh Brolin thinks his Deadpool 2 performance as Cable could have been better, hopes to “redeem” himself in X-Force

July 1, 2018 by Gary Collinson

2018 has been a good year for Josh Brolin, with the actor enjoying well received roles in the superhero blockbusters Avengers: Infinity War and Deadpool 2 as well as Sicario: Day of the Soldado.

However, it seems the man himself was a little disappointed with his performance as Cable in Deadpool 2, and is hoping to get the chance to “redeem” himself if and when he reprises the role of the time-travelling mutant.

“I do like the way it turned out. But I thought I could have been better,” Brolin told USA Today, stating that he felt his chemistry with Ryan Reynolds didn’t come together until the press tour for the movie: “I got to know (Reynolds) better. I trust him more. And we started this volley where it was like, ‘This is actually fun.’ I literally want to redeem myself to myself. I want to do a better version of what I do.”

Brolin will get the opportunity he craves when he teams up with Reynolds and their Deadpool 2 co-star Zazie Beetz for X-Force… assuming things aren’t scuppered by the impending Disney-Fox takeover, that is.

What did you make of Brolin’s performance as Cable? Is he being too hard on himself, or is he in need of redemption? Let us know your thoughts in the comments…

Marvel’s motormouth mercenary is back! Bigger, better and occasionally more pantless than ever before. When a super soldier arrives on a murderous mission, Deadpool is forced to think about friendship, family and what it really means to be a hero – all while kicking 50 shades of ass. Because, sometimes, to do the right thing you need to fight dirty.

Deadpool 2 sees David Leitch (John Wick) directing a cast that includes returning stars Ryan Reynolds (Wade Wilson), Morena Baccarin (Vanessa), T.J. Miller (Weasel), Brianna Hildebrand (Negasonic Teenage Warhead), Stefan Kapicic (Colossus), Leslie Uggams (Blind Al) and Karan Soni (Dopinder) alongside new additions Zazie Beetz (Atlanta) as Domino, Josh Brolin (Avengers: Infinity War) as Cable, Terry Crews (Brooklyn Nine-Nine) as Bedlam, Lewis Tan (Iron Fist) as Shatterstar, Bill Skarsgard (It) as Zeitgeist, Rob Delaney (Catastrophe), Julian Dennison (Hunt for the Wilderpeople) as Russell, Jack Kesy (The Strain) as Black Tom Cassidy and Shioli Kutsuna (The Outsider) as Yukio.
