“Deadpool 2” is expected to be released in 2018, but the film still needs a new director before production can get started. Tim Miller directed “Deadpool” but he dropped out of the sequel due to creative differences with Ryan Reynolds and company. Shortly after the news hit the internet it was reported that one of the things Reynolds and Miller clashed on was the casting of Cable.
There are several actors out there who are lobbying for the role such as Ron Perlman, Stephen Lang, and even Dolph Lundgren threw his name out there. It was also rumored at one point that Kyle Chandler was being eyed for the role. However, Fox has yet to make any sort of official announcement in regards to who will be playing Cable.
Although fans may have to wait a while to see Cable on the big screen, they don’t have to wait any longer to see the character come to life on the small screen. K&K Productions has released a video of a fan film they put together called “Cable: Chronicles of Hope” and it’s here to make the wait a little easier.
Cable and Hope Summers travel through time only to be attacked by Purifiers when they arrive in the past. From there it’s all out action as they battle their foes, and Nightcrawler enters the video to make the save.
It’s short but for a fan film it’s pretty impressive, and captures a good tone for a possible X-Men movie or series. The fan film also features appearances from Bishop, and the Blackbird. Check it out below.
