FOX wasted no time confirming Cable for “Deadpool 2.” Deadpool himself announced that Cable would be joining the cast for the sequel in the credits scene of his own movie, and fans around the world rejoiced.
As soon as it was revealed that Cable would be a part of “Deadpool 2” several actors made it well known that they would love to step up and bring Cable to life on the big screen.
Ron Perlman, Stephen Lang and Dolph Lundgren were just a few of the names that pitched themselves for the role, but so far no casting announcements have been made.
The sequel is set to start filming early next year so it seems likely that a casting announcement for Cable will be made sooner rather than later. There’s been a lot of speculation in regards to who will get the high profile role, and during a recent episode of Meet The Movie Press a new name entered the mix.
Mashable.com’s Jeff Sneider revealed a rumor, and noted that this rumor should be taken with a grain of salt, but he said that Kyle Chandler’s name has been floating around the film for months.
Kyle Chandler has an extensive resume, and has appeared in movies such as “Super 8” and “The Wolf of Wall Street.” Chandler is also known for his work on the TV show “Friday Night Lights” and his performance on the Netflix series “Bloodline.”
It’s also rumored that Mackenzie Davis is up for the role of Domino and it’s said that Domino is a scene stealer. Davis played Mindy Park in “The Martian” last year and she is also one of the stars of “Halt and Catch Fire” on AMC.
