Deadpool 2 is officially a go, despite the fact that the film is currently without an actual release date. Though, it's pretty much a guarantee that one of Fox's Untitled Marvel Films is being saved for the Merc with a Mouth's sophomore outing. Speaking to IGN to promote the release of the film on home video, screenwriters Rheese and Wernick touched on the traits they think the actor picked to play Cable needs to have.
"There’s a lot about Cable’s history that I like because he’s so intertwined with the world of the X-Men... I think Deadpool needs a straight man. Cable is the ultimate, archetypal, silent, strong and cynical warrior, which Deadpool is not," said director Tim Miller. His screenwriters share that same sentiment. "Strength, gravitas, a purposefulness that Deadpool doesn’t have. Deadpool’s kind of got ADD, and we think of Cable as someone who locks onto something and is going to get that thing solved no matter what.” They also add that the actor should be "physically imposing."
Deadpool is now available for purchase on digital platforms. You can own a copy of the blu-ray or DVD on May 10.
