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.

@Boomdoggin - Just a touch too old... like five to seven years ago maybe.

@huckfinnisher - That boy needs to have a sandwich or two before he can play the Summers boy.

@Scorpo - Eh, considering how hard Reynolds tried for ten years to play Deadpool, I'd say he's fine in his effort level.

@MasterTaffer - Yeah but now Deadpool is well known, so I don't think people can just campaign for roles to do with Deadpool anymore.

I used to really want him for Cable, but I kinda would prefer someone younger now.
Scorpo
Scorpo - 2/13/2016, 8:13 PM
@OmegaBlack13 - Cable should be older.

@OmegaBlack13 - Huh ! Why are you even commenting with this nonsense ? Cable is an older dude.

Confirmed : He's casted.

If I remember correctly Deadpool did drop his name in the after credit scene so it's in the bag !!!.

Still way to small need a taller and bigger build. Good shape for an old man though. Everyone wants a long term cbm contract.

It would be perfect if they did cast him, only for Deadpool to mention how hard he tried to get the role

marvel72 - 2/13/2016, 8:27 PM
Not a bad choice but maybe slightly too old.
DallasAvenger
DallasAvenger - 2/13/2016, 8:29 PM
That's cool. I'd cast someone a bit younger but I like to see people going out for roles.

Isn't Cable 50 years old or something?

I honestly cannot think of anyone who would fit the part better. Make that sheet happen Fox!
