DEADPOOL 2 Adds THE STRAIN Actor Jack Kesy As A Major Villain; Most Likely Black Tom Cassidy
Deadpool 2 has cast Jack Kesy as a new villain for The Merc With A Mouth to tangle with, and from the sounds of things it's going to be Irish-born mutant, Black Tom Cassidy. More past the jump...
Deadline reports that Jack Kesy (The Strain, Baywatch, Claws) has joined the cast of 20th Century Fox's upcoming Deadpool sequel as a major new villain. Although the site isn't 100% sure which character he'll play, their sources do indicate that it'll be Black Tom Cassidy.
Marvel Comics fans will most likely know this ruthless fella as Banshee's cousin, who has the power to manipulate, bond with, and project energy through plant life. Though he was primarily an X-Men baddie, he did come up against Wade Wilson on a number occasions.
Deadpool 2 is set for release on June 1, 2018, and in addition to newcomers Cable (Josh Brolin) and Domino (Zazie Beetz), we'll also see the return of Morena Baccarin as Vanessa, Leslie Uggams as Blind Al, Stefan Kapacic as Colossus and Brianna Hildebrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead.
