Michael Shannon Is Top Pick To Play Cable In'Deadpool 2'

Michael Shannon tops the list of candidates to play the time traveling mercenary Cable in the highly-anticipated “Deadpool 2”.

According to an exclusive report by The Hollywood Reporter, Michael Shannon currently tops the studio’s shortlist of possible Cable actors. Shannon is joined on the list by “Stranger Things” actor David Harbour.

 

 

Recently, fans learned that “Atlanta” star Zazie Beetz is already cast as the engineered merc named Domino, which would be an interesting pair up with Shannon given their recent scene work in “Wolves.” While there is a decent chance that it won’t happen, Michael Shannon would definitely bring a certain level of believable intensity to to the war-torn character. Given that Shannon’s schedule is seeming clear and Marvel’s rival DCEU-held Zod story-arc is dead (literally), he just may be ripe for the picking for Fox.

Helmed by ‘John Wick 2’ director David Leitch, “Deadpool 2” is scheduled to begin shooting this summer in Vancouver with Ryan Reynolds reprising his role as the mouthy mercenary. 

Do YOU think it would be an interesting move to have the former General Zod of DCEU’s “Man of Steel” join the R-rated Fox/Marvel X-universe?

About The Author

Pooya

Since his wee lad-dom, Pooya has been a sommelier of cinema. It was likely some acting bug, fallen from the dust riddled ruby curtains of an enchanted old stage that did it. Those cinematic scarabs must have burrowed deep into his brain, irreversibly altering his mind, turning the poor boy down a dismal path. From his earliest years the strange boy would aimlessly wander the aisles of countless video rental stores, amassing his trivial knowledge with vigor. These actions befuddled the boy’s parents, who still would lovingly oblige his unusual attraction to the motion picture. Often seeking refuge in the cushioned seating of his local movie theater, the odd adolescent would immerse himself in the scripted and effects riddled realities unfolding on the screen before him. During his collegiate years, he was twice spotted on stage performing bizarre theatrical rituals before awe-struck audiences. When he departed from academia, he left behind his youth in exchange for a labor routine, but the strange young man never lost his long-cultivated love of film. Recently, Pooya was approached by FilmFad.com to join their budding team of entertainment bloggers. After hours of coaxing and an undisclosed number of honey jars, he accepted their offer. Finally he had come full circle. Finally, at FilmFad.com, he was home.
