With Tim Miller’s “Deadpool” already snaring a colossal pre-release fanbase, no surprise to hear the creatives are already talking sequel.
One character Miller says he’d like to include in the follow-up is Cable, the leader of the ‘X-Force’ team.
“We had Garrison Kane in there for a while, but in the final round of budget cuts we had to take him out, because he was a pretty expensive dude”, the director tells Empire. “He’s got these bionic arms that change shape; he would have been a visual effect for a large part of the movie. And as it turned out, a visual effect too far. I went through the list of Marvel characters and picked a few others I thought could be visually spectacular and fun. And at the end of that list was Negasonic. Her name was cool, and we kind of wanted a straight-man to play against Colossus.
“We thought about Cannonball, but he would’ve been a stupid hick character, whereas the guys wrote Negasonic as this deadpan goth teen, which was a great angle. She turned out really well. There aren’t really many definitive Deadpool villains, apart from Cable. If we don’t put Cable in Deadpool 2 I think we’ll be run out of town on a rail.”
