Former JAMES BOND Actor Pierce Brosnan Dismisses DEADPOOL 2 Cable Rumors As "Just Fabricated"
Those hoping that Piece Brosnan might be joining Ryan Reynolds in the Deadpool sequel are sure to be disappointed, as the Irish actor has shot down the recent rumor that he'd be playing Cable.
Back in January, a photo of Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds and Pierce Brosnan sitting together led to speculation that the latter might be in talks for a part in Deadpool 2. Obviously a picture on the internet isn't a whole lot to go on, but we then got something a little more solid from The Tracking Board's Jeff Sneider, who claimed the former 007 was indeed up for the role of Cable in the movie.
Well, Brosnan flat-out denied that this is the case while being interviewed by Jimmy Kimmel last night, stating that it's “not true. Nothing’s come my way yet.”
“We were sitting, waiting for a plane, the three of us, and the guy said, ‘Quick, let’s get a photograph,’ and [I] jump in the middle and Mr. Reynolds said, ‘Let’s do Three Wise Monkeys.’ [We] put it out there and it went viral. I don’t lie. They know where to find me, it’s just fabricated.”
Though it does sound like the Bag of Bones actor would be interested, last we heard Man of Steel's Michael Shannon was the front-runner - however, based on what we've been told, 20th Century Fox still hasn't settled on someone to play the time-travelling mutant badass.
Tell us, would you have liked to see Brosnan join The Merc with a Mouth as Cable in Deadpool 2? Sound off in the usual place.
