DEADPOOL 2: Cable Gets The Spotlight In Another Awesome Batch Of Spoilery VFX Stills From The Sequel
Josh Brolin's Cable was given the chance to shine in Deadpool 2 and these new hi-res stills from the sequel shed some light not only on how his arm was created but some of the character's best moments.
Deadpool 2 is now entering its third weekend of release and some more awesome stills from the sequel have surfaced today. While you might not think there are many left to see at this stage, these put the spotlight almost entirely on Cable and shed some light on how that arm of his was created.
As you can see, an awful lot of work was clearly put into that and these hi-res shots show off just how intricate the design was and how much of an impact the techo organic virus was having on Cable.

This shot is from moments before Cable delivers a nasty blow to the Merc with the Mouth which leaves him reeling. Honestly, the first fight between these two definitely lives up to expectations.
Cable brings an epic array of weapons with him from the future and he assembles a gun which would make even Robert Liefeld proud as it's so massive and, well, ridiculously over the top!
This concept art sheds some light on how Nathan Summers' time-travel device was brought to life and the visuals which would be utilised every time he travels forward or backward through time.
We didn't get to spend a whole lot of time in the future but it definitely looks like it could be related to the one we saw in X-Men: Days of Future Past which would explain why Cable blamed the team.
I'm not sure I actually remember this scene from the movie but these images provide a very interesting glimpse at how Josh Brolin's hand was transformed by VFX during the post-production process.
The comic book version of Cable's arm is relatively basic but Deadpool 2 really ups the ante and gives the character a surprisingly detailed and intricate arm which actually looks very realistic.
Another before and after shot of Cable's arm, it's crazy just how much work must have gone into nearly every scene featuring the character because there's no way of faking it without VFX.
What a difference, eh? Here, a practical stunt is completely changed with visual effects to add an explosion...and Cable! This is one of those things you'd never realise was an effect in the movie itself.
Deadpool 2 showed up how things look from Cable's perspective a few times in the movie and here we see how he was able to identify both the Merc with the Mouth and the young Firefist.
Cable kicked a serious amount of ass and took a lot of names during the sequel's prison break and this before and after shot shows how the VFX teams had to change his arm's appearance.
The techo organic virus is clearly ravaging Cable's body and while this movie didn't devote a whole lot of time to that, here's hoping X-Force will delve into the fact it's slowly killing the reluctant hero.
And to finish things off, here's a random shot of the Merc with the Mouth from that awesome action sequence which kicks the sequel off. The John Wick influence was clear to see throughout.
