If Fox gets its way, we’ll be seeing Zod – uh, I mean Michael Shannon – in the upcoming “Deadpool” sequel!
According to THR, Shannon is the studio’s first choice to play the role of Cable, heading up a shortlist that also includes David Harbour (“Stranger Things”).
David Leitch is directing “Deadpool 2”, which will reportedly expand to include other characters the X-Men universe.
Ryan Reynolds is of course on board to reprise his title role with “Atlanta” star Zazie Beetz also in the cast as Domino.
In many ways, Cable is the opposite of Deadpool: a man who is a leader and used to being obeyed, who is very controlled but with an aura of simmering violence. In the comics, Cable was from the future and was the adult of Scott Summers, also known as the X-Man Cyclops (via THR).
