Stephen Lang Heads To Twitter To Make It Clear He Wants To Play 'Cable' In DEADPOOL 2

Stephen Lang has been a fan-favourite choice to play Cable for years now, and following the record breaking debut of Deadpool, he's making it clear that he wants to play the character on the big screen.

A Deadpool sequel is currently in development and Cable is pretty much confirmed to appear in it, but who exactly will play him? Stephen Lang's name frequently comes up when fans talk about the character, and he's spent most of today sharing Tweets from those who would like to see the Avatar star teaming up with the Merc with the Mouth a couple of years from now. As you can see, he's certainly in the right shape to bring Nathan Summers to the big screen, and after the impact the fans had on Deadpool, could those responsible for the sequel take note of the desire to see Lang in the role? We'll have to wait and see, but let us know if you think he's right for Cable in the usual place.

Let's lay some CABLE. You know I want it. This is pre-training. Thanks for spreading the word. #Deadpool pic.twitter.com/jI1Y1i0oH0
