Looks Like Brad Pitt Was In Line For The Role Of Cable In DEADPOOL 2 After All; May Still Be A Contender
Though there were recent online whispers that Brad Pitt might be up for the role of Cable in Deadpool 2, nobody really took them seriously. Well, looks like there was some truth to them after all...
The Tracking Board's Jeff Sneider Tweeted the following the other day, giving rise to the rumor that Brad Pitt might be in line to play Cable in Deadpool 2. Because of the constant stream of actors said to be in contention for the role, most of is assumed he was just having some fun, but a new report indicatives that the iconic Fight Club star was indeed considering coming on board 20th Century Fox and director David Leitch's sequel.
According to Collider, Pitt was indeed eyed to play the time-travelling badass, and was initially interested before moving on, presumably because of a sceduling conflict. However, with the Cable role said to be "in flux", there is a chance he may reconsider.
Right now, Man of Steel's Michael Shannon is reportedly the frontrunner, but we do know nothing is set in stone just yet.
Whoever signs up to play Cable in Deadpool 2, he'll join Ryan Reynolds as the returning Merc with a Mouth, and Zazie Beetz as Domino.
