[h=1]Deadpool 2: Ryan Reynolds Hinting at Pierce Brosnan as Cable?[/h]


Ryan Reynolds has added to the rumor mill with a new Instagram post featuring himself, Hugh Jackman, and Pierce Brosnan hanging out. The nature of the meeting is uncertain, with the three actors striking a ‘hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil’ pose, which suggests that they won’t be elaborating any time soon. Hugh Jackman later circulated another image from the meeting on Twitter, following up on a series of images from his upcoming standalone X-Men movie Logan. You can check out the pictures below:

The gathering comes shortly after the news that Cable’s notoriously convoluted backstory will be cut from Deadpool 2, in favor of something more streamlined. Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese discussed the villain, suggesting that the twists and turns of his origin story will be distilled down, while remaining authentic and faithful to the character. A host of actors have been recommended to play Cable, and while Pierce Brosnan wasn’t the most obvious choice, he certainly fulfills the grizzled, action-hero credentials of the role. Brosnan is most recognizable as 007, having played James Bond in the ’90s and early 2000s. Brosnan’s Bond was particularly suave and slick, however, preceding the gritty Daniel Craig reboot of the franchise.
Previous rumors have focused primarily on the essential aspects of the character, namely his physicality and gruffness. Brosnan however could offer something much more valuable and applicable to the unique approach of Deadpool. Some of the most celebrated elements of the first movie were the meta moments in which Wade Wilson addressed the audience, particularly when he drew attention to the movie as a fabrication. He openly addressed production issues and the notoriously tricky journey of the movie itself. Pierce Brosnan’s work as James Bond is ripe with comedic value, making the caption of Ryan Reynolds’ photograph more relevant: ‘Wolvie. Bond. Wade.’
This information is purely speculative at this point, and neither Jackman, Reynolds, nor Brosnan have responded to the rumors linking the Bond frontman to the role of Cable. The casting process for the time traveling mutant is still ongoing, and it will be interesting to see who the creative team goes with, since this is a key aspect of the highly-anticipated sequel.

[h=1]Deadpool 2: What Pierce Brosnan Could Look Like As Cable[/h]

[h=1]Deadpool 2 Isn’t a ‘Slave’ to X-Men Continuity & Timelines[/h]

Now that the X-Men franchise is branching out, trying new things, and getting involved in television, much has been made about the continuity of this shared universe. At first, the X-Men movie franchise seemed to throw caution to the wind when it came to maintaining a cohesive continuity between their films, but that was before the franchise “reset” everything – using the events of X-Men: Days of Future Past to help make sense of the timelines.
Even so, the timeline is far from perfect, and the X-Men movies since Days of Future Past have either introduced additional errors or making next to no attempt to maintain continuity. Deadpool, for example, shows Xavier’s School For Gifted Youngsters and references Wolverine and Professor Xavier, but Colossus is different from his previous depictions. Deadpool himself even makes a timeline joke, saying at one point “McAvoy or Stewart? These timelines can get so confusing.”
Nonetheless, the Deadpool movie was a great success. Sometimes creativity can become a slave of continuity, and that can be an easy way to kill a franchise. The X-Men cinematic franchise certainly isn’t without its share of stinkers, but some of its greatest success can be blamed on throwing continuity out the window.

In a recent interview with THR, Deadpool co-writer, Paul Wernick, was able to weigh in on both Deadpool and the upcoming Deadpool 2‘s place in the larger X-Men film universe


One of the best jokes in Deadpool addresses how confusing the X-Men movie timeline is. In Deadpool 2, will you continue to be able to ignore that timeline?

Paul Wernick:“What’s nice is Deadpool exists in his own universe. He’s part of the larger X-Men universe, but in a way he isn’t. He interacts with that world but he is in the present. We don’t deal with the ’60s or the ’70s or the future. It’s here and now. More than anything, I think he’s going to have his fun with what they do in the other franchise. But fortunately, we don’t have to play by those same rules. Deadpool is a movie that did break all the rules. And I think we’re going to continue to break those rules. That involves knowing that he’s in a movie, talking to the audience, breaking that fourth wall, a characteristic that they established so brilliantly in the comics way back when. So yeah, I do think that timelines are something that we can make fun of and don’t have to be slave to.”
​

Coincidentally, this is very similar to the sentiment of Hugh Jackman, who praised the upcoming Logan‘s unique tone and setting by saying “it’s a slightly different universe.” Of course, he didn’t mean “different universe” in terms of continuity, as director James Mangold later had to clarify that Logan does exist in the larger X-Men continuity. Nevertheless, the film is purposefully set in a time and place that allows Mangold to tell his own Wolverine story instead of being forced to make it line up with other X-Men films.
If Logan pays off in the same way Deadpool did, 20th Century Fox might further embrace that approach; allowing new X-Men films to only loosely fit into continuity, so that the writers and directors behind them can feel the freedom to produce the best possible movie – instead of just the best movie they were allowed to make.

[h=1]Deadpool 2: More Evidence Pierce Brosnan Could Be Cable[/h]

Deadpool may have defied the general comic book movie tropes in many ways, but when it came to the credits, it followed suit with the countless films that have come before. Marvel Studios brought back the post-credit scenes in the MCU, and even though Deadpool had one as a joke, it also teased what – or more importantly who – will be introduced in Deadpool 2. Cable was name dropped to make his big screen debut in the sequel, and ever since people have been wondering who would get the coveted role.
Everyone from Stephen Lang and Kyle Chandler to Ron Perlman and more have been linked to the role by speculation, actual reporting, and any other avenue. The most recent name thrown into contention was former 007 Pierce Brosnan when he, Ryan Reynolds, and Hugh Jackman shared a suspicious photo. While initially thought to be a case of fans reading too much into a particular photo, new evidence suggests that the stars are aligning for him to land the role.



On the newest episode of Meet the Movie Press, Simon Thompson – a reporter for a variety of outlets – spoke briefly about his recent chat with Deadpool 2 director David Leitch. At the John Wick: Chapter 2 premiere, Thompson jokingly congratulated Leitch on bringing Brosnan aboard as Cable because of the photo, but Leitch’s response, “We have not, yet,” led Thompson to pose the question to Tracking Board’s Jeff Sneider and Variety’s Justin Kroll if there was something there. This brought Sneider to comment back saying, “Justin can’t say anything, but, yeah, I’ve heard it’s going to him.”

While this initially looks to be confirmation that Brosnan will be Cable, the reporters then speculated what role Brosnan specifically would play. They all agreed that Cable is the most likely outcome, but also suggested that he could be in line to play the villain – which is currently unknown.
Should this be the direction that Reynolds, Leitch, and company go, Brosnan would fit the older mold they were reportedly looking for. Brosnan has experience as an action star, but would need to bulk up for this role most likely. Muscle size aside, Brosnan’s age (63 going on 64) upon first impression does seem older than expected if Cable is going to transition into being a leading member of the X-Men universe, specifically X-Force.
However possible this may be, it is important to note that neither Sneider nor Kroll wrote this as an official story, so it may not pan out. That said, they did further note that Reynolds has the power to announce all casting decisions when he wants thanks to his role behind the scenes, so any confirmations could come straight from the Merc with a Mouth himself. If this report does ultimately prove to be true, the previous photo of Brosnan, Reynolds, and Jackman becomes even more interesting as it could further hint to Wolverine making a cameo in Deadpool 2 as well. That announcement is likely not going to come for some time, but if Brosnan is in the running as reported, it could only be a matter of time before Deadpool finds his Cable.

Deadpool 2: Kerry Washington Responds to Domino Casting Rumors

One of the most highly anticipated comic book movies of next year is going to be Deadpool 2, the follow up to the smash hit that was 2016’s Deadpool. The sequel to Deadpool will see Ryan Reynolds back in the spotlight as the Merc with a Mouth, alongside two new mutants from the X-Men universe: Cable and Domino. We don’t currently have confirmation on the casting for these roles, but the rumor mill has been busy as usual, and the frontrunners are Pierce Brosnan as Cable, and Kerry Washington as Domino.
Now, Washington has responded to these rumors about her appearance in the next Deadpool movie, and sounds very enthusiastic about the part.
At the 2017 Writers Guild Awards this past weekend, the actress was asked by ExtraTV if the rumors were true, and if she would want to play Domino if the part were offered to her. She said:

I don’t have anything to say about that! [The Deadpool 2 writers] know more than I do. Of course I would [want the part]! But you have to get the right person for whatever role.
​

Obviously, actors are unable to reveal anything about a part that they may have been offered before the studio says that it is OK – and in the past, some have even flat-out denied that they have been offered a role, even though they have actually accepted it. (For instance, Jason Momoa refused to admit that he had been cast as Aquaman until after the DCEU made the news public). The star of Scandal did appear very enthusiastic about the possibility, however.
Washington would definitely be an interesting choice for the character, and she already has experience in the world of superheroes. Washington voiced Princess Shuri in an animated Black Panther TV mini-series in 2010, and played Alicia Masters in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer in 2007, and in Fantastic Four in 2005. She’s also been in her fair share of other action movies as well as TV dramas, and could be a phenomenal choice to round out the Deadpool 2 cast.
However, some comic book purists may not be happy about this casting choice. Although the rumors suggests that Fox is considering actresses of any racial background for the role, the Domino in the comics is originally white. As we already know from previous characters who have been race- or gender-bent in the film universe, there are always a few comic purists who do not want to see any changes in their favorite heroes. We think that Washington herself hits the nail on the head, however when she says you have to get the right person for the role.

Deadpool 2: Drew Goddard Working on Script [Updated]


While the film debut of Deadpool in 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine proved to be far from a success story, Ryan Reynolds never stopped pushing for the creation of a Deadpool solo movie that could possibly redeem the character in the eyes of moviegoers. That film finally arrived in early 2016, shocking the world by turning into one of the biggest critical and commercial hits of the year, and earning a sustained push for an Oscar nomination from many.
With that kind of success under their belts, one would think Fox might opt to stay the creative course for the upcoming Deadpool 2. Surprisingly enough though, that hasn’t been the case. Back in October, Deadpool director Tim Miller left the sequel, reportedly due to creative differences with producer and star Reynolds. Shortly after, composer JunkieXL exited from the project, citing Miller’s departure as his reason. John Wick co-helmer David Leitch would eventually come aboard and fill the directing void.


Now, according to Collider, it appears that Deadpool writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are out of Deadpool 2 as well. The duo has reportedly been replaced by Drew Goddard, working alongside Reynolds himself. Goddard and Reynolds are said to be currently hard at work on the screenplay for Deadpool 2, which still has yet to be given a formal release date by Fox. How far Reese and Wernick got with their script, whether any of their work is being retained by Goddard and Reynolds, and why exactly they are no longer involved with the film are all questions that have yet to be answered.
[Update: In response to the breaking news of Goddard’s involvement, Ryan Reynolds shared on social media that Reese and Wernick are still involved with writing the picture, and that they are “the heartbeat of the whole thing.”]

Goddard of course brings a lot of built-in genre credibility to his work on Deadpool 2, having been a long-time disciple of Joss Whedon. Goddard cut his teeth in Hollywood by penning episodes of both Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, before later writing and directing the Whedon-produced, critically acclaimed horror-comedy The Cabin in the Woods. Goddard also wrote the J.J. Abrams-produced monster flick Cloverfield, as well as the Brad Pitt zombie epic World War Z. Arguably Goddard’s crowning achievement to date though is creating, writing for, and executive producing Netflix’s Daredevil series.
It remains to be seen why exactly Reese and Wernick left or were let go from scripting duties on Deadpool 2, so it’s obviously too early to say if their departure – like Miller’s before them – is in any way tied to creative differences with Reynolds. Considering Goddard’s resume though, he seems as good a replacement choice as any. Only time will tell how different his sensibilities end up being than those of his predecessors.

[h=1]Deadpool 2: Michael Shannon Briefly In the Running to Play Cable[/h]

Thanks to the record breaking success of Deadpool, the followup has become one of Hollywood’s most anticipated sequels. Ryan Reynolds, the man behind the Merc with a Mouth, teased fans at the conclusion of his first solo film that he already had his eyes on bringing Cable into the fold for Deadpool 2. Since that point in time, there has been no shortage of names thrown into contention, but Fox, Reynolds, and company have yet to finalize their decision.
Recently, it was revealed that Stranger Things star David Harbour is currently testing for the role, making him the only name to be released so far to have made it that far into the process. This came on the heels of Deadpool’s creator Rob Liefeld tossing Russell Crowe’s name into the Cable pool, but it has now been revealed that one Man of Steel star was once eyed as well.
During their coverage of the Harbour news, Collider revealed that at one time Michael Shannon was in the mix. The reason for him no longer being in the running is reportedly due to scheduling conflicts. He has a number of projects in post-production, so the press dates for any of these could be the reason behind his schedule being so full.

Shannon is no stranger to comic book movies after previously playing Zod in Man of Steel and again briefly in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. With there appearing to be no future for him in the DCEU (as Zod already died and his corpse used to make Doomsday – which also died), there is no real rational reason behind anybody not wanting Shannon in the role, if he could have landed the part.
He is currently riding high off an awards season where he saw much praise for his role in Nocturnal Animals. While it was his co-star Aaron Taylor-Johnson who won the Golden Globe, Shannon supplanted him in the mind of Academy voters. Although he was nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, Mahershala Ali won for Moonlight.
With Shannon no longer being in the running for Cable, it will be interesting to see what other names pop up in addition to Harbour. Shannon is a high profile actor just as many of the previous names that have been considered. Shannon is clearly interested in joining these bigger franchises after turning down roles in the MCU and Star Wars. Of course, he may be attracted to many projects moving forward, so there is always the possibility Fox circles back around to him for a different role in the future.

[h=1]Deadpool 2: Atlanta’s Zazie Beetz Cast as Domino[/h]

While Logan continues to win over audiences and critics and earn Fox a considerable amount at the box office, the inclusion of a Deadpool sequel teaser featuring Ryan Reynolds ahead of the film has left many fans equally excited to talk about Deadpool 2. The teaser was a fun reminder of what made the first movie so great and even packed in a number of Easter eggs for fans. What’s more, it reminded everyone that Cable will be joining Deadpool in the new movie. Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld has said the character will blow our minds once we seem him, so speculation has turned to who might play the time-traveling mutant.
At this point, it’s anyone’s guess, as names like Pierce Brosnan and Russell Crowe have been floated. Meanwhile, another mutant will be joining the movie in the form of Domino. A mercenary with luck-based powers, there have been just as many rumors about who will play her as Cable. For awhile, Kerry Washington seemed like a lock. Yesterday, however, there was a brief moment where it seemed Hidden Figures star Janelle Monáe would get the part (before Deadpool 2 writer Rhett Reese shot the rumor down). Now, we finally have an official confirmation.
Out of nowhere, Ryan Reynolds took to Twitter with an image of some dominos with dots spelling out the name Zazie Beetz. For fans of FX’s Atlanta or Netflix’s Easy, you’ll be familiar with the actor. While she may not have been a rumored frontrunner, her work on Atlanta alone has gained her plenty of praise as it’s one of TV’s most acclaimed shows. She’s also young enough that Fox will be able to lock her into a multi-picture contract, ensuring she can show up in sequels and spinoffs.

— Ryan Reynolds (@VancityReynolds) March 9, 2017​

It’s an unusual way to announce the casting of a major character for a blockbuster film, but expect some sort of official word to follow swiftly. Part of the success of Deadpool as a potential franchise has been Reynold’s persistence and his social media following. When you consider that, the unorthodox method of revealing Beetz as Domino makes a certain kind of sense.
We learned yesterday that the upcoming X-Force movie would indeed star Deadpool and Cable, as the two are often on the team in the comics. With Domino now officially part of the X-Men universe, the assassin is likely to join their ranks as well. Meanwhile, Daredevil and The Martian writer Drew Goddard is helping on the script for the Deadpool sequel, which will hopefully elevate the material even further. Now, all that’s left is to wait for an official announcement on who will play Cable and find out if Patrick Stewart will get his wish of a Professor X cameo in Deadpool 2.

Deadpool 2: Brianna Hildebrand Teases Negasonic Teenage Warhead Return

Hitting the superhero scene like the shockwave of one of her atomic blasts, the lesser-known mutant Negasonic Teenage Warhead became the unexpected scene-stealer of the willfully wild Deadpool. Texas-born ingénue Brianna Hildebrand famously strode into the audition with the bold buzz-cut that became Negasonic’s signature and won the devotion of Deadpool fans from her first snarkily arched eyebrow. So it’s no surprise that Hildebrand is poised to reprise her smirking superheroine in Deadpool 2. And Screen Rant stole a moment with her at SXSW–where she’s promoting the new teen slasher-comedy Tragedy Girls–to ask what we might expect from the next wave of Negasonic Teenage Warhead.
“I’ve not yet actually read the script,” Hildebrand confessed, adding “But I do think she will be a lot cooler, based on the wardrobe ideas and stuff. I’m very excited.” She explained she’d just seen some concept art, “Just some ideas, nothing that’s concrete or anything. But I think it’s cool that she’s grown and matured and she still has so much of this essence of a punk kid.”

Beyond these tantalizing details, Hildebrand demurred from sharing more, always careful to keep the surprises intact for Deadpool‘s fervent fandom. Asked what’s it’s been like to be so embraced by this fun-loving fandemonium that has made her incarnation of Negasonic Teenage Warhead into an instant icon, the 20-year-old paused to ponder, then offered, “That was exciting, just because I felt so close to Negasonic in that she reminded me so much of myself. Like young, teenage/tweenage, angsty like pissed off Brianna is who she reminded me of. It was just like, ‘Oh! She’s so cute. I get her, you know?’ So yeah. That was super exciting to see that people liked her too because it felt like people liked me, or the part of me in there somewhere.”
Sadly, we have a while to wait before Negasonic Teenage Warhead returns to the big screen with her punk flare and kapow powers. Deadpool 2 won’t be hitting theaters until March 2[SUP]nd[/SUP], 2018. But fans of Hildebrand have reason to celebrate, as Tragedy Girls should be coming in 2017. The horror-comedy – that focuses on a pair of aspiring teen serial killers and co-stars X-Men: Apocalypse‘s Alexandra Shipp – makes its world premiere at SXSW tomorrow night. Fingers crossed: a theatrical release will be revealed shortly thereafter.

[h=1]Deadpool 2 Writers Promise ‘More Obscure’ Characters in Sequel[/h]

Deadpool was such a huge commercial success around the world that it’s almost impossible for the sequel to fail. Deadpool 2 is well into pre-production as it eyes a January 2018 release date with some fresh changes on the horizon for the foul-mouthed, wise-cracking vigilante. The biggest difference, so far, between Deadpool and the sequel are the new characters Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) deals with in his second adventure.
The real eye-catcher among the newcomers for Deadpool 2 is X-Men favorite Cable, a role that has yet to be cast. Zazie Beetz (Atlanta) just joined the cast as Domino, once an ally of Cable in the comics. However, the sequel is not done adding new faces to the cast of characters on both sides. Writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick obviously play major roles in the addition of new characters, and they talked about what to expect in Deadpool 2 in a new interview.
Speaking to LRM to promote their upcoming sci-fi film Life, Reese and Wernick were asked about the challenges in making Deadpool 2 and sequels in general. The writing team, which also includes The Martian‘s Drew Goddard, is determined to make Deadpool 2 a sequel that either matches or surpasses the original. In the interest of keeping things fresh for Deadpool 2, Reese hinted at the introduction of “obscure” characters from the comics that will get dedicated fans excited for the sequel.

“Yeah, Cable and Domino grabbed the headlines on Deadpool. But there are definitely some more obscure characters that people know or that real diehards know that will be in there just by virtue of we need a new villain, and we need some new good guys to complement [Deadpool], but it is growing. Of course, it will be all about the lunacy that is Deadpool himself.”
​

The presence of the lesser-known Negasonic Teenage Warhead (played by Brianna Hildebrand) in Deadpool certainly satisfied die-hard fans of recent X-Men comics. Hildebrand is expected to reprise her role in Deadpool 2, and Reese and Wernick are promising more in terms of obscure names from the X-Men universe. The writers have plenty of source material to draw from in terms of Cable’s history with X-Force and the group’s many current and former members.
Of course, it remains to be seen whether Reese and Wernick can recreate the magic of the first Deadpool and avoid the pitfalls of sequels that didn’t live up to the originals. One issue that could arise is the presence of too many characters, which could threaten to over-stuff the film and bog it down. It’s important for Deadpool 2 not to overdo the new faces and focus on retaining the sharp sense of humor and confident pacing that made Deadpool so memorable. The talent involved, and Goddard’s influence, gives the sequel a good chance of doing that.

[h=1]Deadpool 2: Michael Shannon is the Frontrunner for Cable[/h]

Ever since his appearance was promised during the post-credits scene for Deadpool, anticipation surrounding the big screen debut of Cable in next year’s Deadpool 2 has been high. Rumors and various reports have named such actors as Pierce Brosnan, Russell Crowe, and David Harbour as being among the potential candidates circling the role, at some point or another in time. Rob Liefeld – the creator of both Deadpool and Cable – previously tweeted that Cable was “The hottest role in Hollywood.”
While Deadpool himself claimed that all the actor playing Cable needed was to be a big guy with a flattop haircut, the truth is that Cable is far more complex than just his looks. He needs to be someone who can go toe to toe mentally and physically with characters like Wolverine, or Deadpool himself. Not everyone can keep up with Deadpool’s signature wit and non-stop banter, after all. The actor who plays the role has to.
It now appears that a new frontrunner for the Cable role has emerged. It was previously reported that Oscar-nominee Michael Shannon was considered for Cable, but is no longer in the running. However, the latest update on the matter indicates that Shannon may instead wind up securing the coveted Deadpool 2 role for himself.
According to THR, Shannon is at the top of the current shortlist of actors being looked at for the Cable role in the Deadpool sequel. He does not have the part yet, and other actors – including Harbour – are still being considered. However, given that the Deadpool 2 writers promised Cable casting news is coming soon, Shannon being at the top of the list is certainly telling.

What Michael Shannon as Cable could look like



Shannon is no stranger to comic book movies, having played Zod in Man of Steel and Dr. Cross Williams in Jonah Hex. Recently he was Oscar nominated for his role in Nocturnal Animals.
Whether Shannon ends up playing Cable, or if the role goes to someone else instead, they are not signing on for just Deadpool 2. As with many of the comic book films being made right now, Deadpool is part of a bigger universe. Aside from being a spin-off of the X-Men franchise, Deadpool 3 and X-Force are both in the works as well. Signing on to play Cable is a big commitment; though considering the popularity of the role and the success of Deadpool, almost certainly a worthwhile one.

[h=1]Deadpool 2: Potential Concept Art Depicts Brad Pitt as Cable[/h]

[manigamer]

[h=1]Deadpool 2: Josh Brolin Cast as Cable[/h]

Deadpool 2 has found its Cable, in the form of actor Josh Brolin. Ever since the tag at the end of Deadpool last year confirmed that the movie would not only be getting a sequel, but that fan-favorite mutant Cable would be involved, speculation has run rampant as to who could play the character. In the comics, Nathan Summers, aka the time-traveler Cable, has had a long and contentious history with Wade Wilson. Not only would the actor chosen need to embody Cable’s tough and gruff demeanor, but they’d need to be able to stand next to Ryan Reynold’s absurdist action hero.
Everyone from Michael Shannon to Brad Pitt to Pierce Brosnan has been thrown out as a possible actor, making Cable seem like one of the hottest roles in Hollywood. Fans have weighed their pros and cons, expecting any one of the big names to emerge sometime soon, as Deadpool 2 heads towards the start of production. It looks, however, as if all the hints and teases have been way off the mark, as a dark horse has emerged to claim the coveted role.



THR are exclusively reporting that Brolin will be playing Cable in Deadpool 2. Aside from his name never once popping up in talks about the character, Brolin will have a busy few years in the comic book movie world as he’s set to play Thanos in next year’s Avengers: Infinity War. That movie is currently in production, so it could be that Deadpool 2 won’t start shooting until he’s finished with Infinity War.

There’s also been talk that Avengers 4 could continue the story of Infinity War. If that’s the case, Brolin may be involved in that film, due out in 2019, as well. With both movies shooting concurrently, that might make it that much longer before the actor has time to begin working on Deadpool 2. Recently, we heard that the minds behind the movie were in no rush to get Deadpool 2 out, and are instead taking their time. With the news of Brolin’s casting, we could have our reason for the delay.
It’s also interesting to note that the Deadpool franchise is full of actors pulling double duty in superhero franchises. Reynolds has played both Deadpool and Green Lantern, while Morena Baccarin was previously the voice of Harrison Wells’ version of Gideon on The Flash.
In addition to the casting of Brolin and the return of Reynolds and Baccarin, Brianna Hildebrand will be reprising her role as Negasonic Teenage Warhead. Meanwhile, Deadpool and Cable will be joined by their once and future X-Force teammate Domino, who will be played by Zazie Beetz of FX’s Atlanta. With the heroic casting announcements out of the way, all that’s left is to find out who will be the Deadpool 2 villain.

[manigamer]

actually when first shortlist came he was in the mentioned list but later others got highlighted more but he was in the shortlist
