To tease Deadpool 2 fans ahead of the movie’s launch, a few images of Cable, played by Josh Brolin, have been published to Twitter today. These images provide a glimpse at what you can expect from the biological son of the X-Man Cyclops and Madelyne Pryor, Jean Grey’s clone. Cable, also known as Nathan Summers, is a time-traveling soldier with a complex backstory that intertwines with many characters in the Marvel Universe.
The Character of Cable
Cable is a fascinating character with a rich history in the Marvel comics. Created by writer Louise Simonson and artist/co-writer Rob Liefeld, Cable first appeared in “The New Mutants” #87 in 1990. He is known for his cybernetic arm, glowing eye, and extensive military training. Cable’s storyline often involves themes of time travel, as he hails from a dystopian future where he fights against the tyranny of Apocalypse. His mission often brings him to the present day, where he interacts with various X-Men and other Marvel heroes.
In Deadpool 2, Cable’s inclusion adds a new layer of depth and excitement. His serious demeanor and tactical expertise contrast sharply with Deadpool’s irreverent and chaotic nature, creating a dynamic and entertaining duo. Fans are eager to see how Josh Brolin will bring this complex character to life on the big screen.

Deadpool 2 is being directed by David Leitch, known for his work on “John Wick” and “Atomic Blonde.” Leitch’s expertise in crafting high-octane action sequences is expected to elevate the film’s fight scenes and overall visual style. The movie stars Ryan Reynolds, who reprises his role as the wisecracking mercenary Deadpool. Reynolds’ portrayal of Deadpool has been widely praised for its humor, charisma, and faithfulness to the comic book character.
The film also features a talented ensemble cast, including:
