Det er åbenbart ikke nok for Josh Brolin er være blandt de mest magtfulde skabninger i universet. Nu skal han også forsøge at lukke munden på vores elskede "merc with a mouth" Deadpool. I går kunne Hollywood Reporter afsløre, at Brolin har skrevet under på at medvirker som Cable i den kommende Deadpool 2.
Brolin har dog ikke kun skrevet under på én film. Han vil medvirke i Deadpool-universet i hele fire film, hvilket højst sandsynligt vil strække sig ud over kun at medvirke som skurk i Deadpool. Hvorvidt han får sin egen film som Cable er endnu ikke offentliggjort. THR skriver følgende om valget af Brolin:
" The production has been on the warpath to find the right actor for the role for months, with Michael Shannon almost nabbing the role and Stranger Things star David Harbour on the shortlist. (There were even rumors of conversations with Russell Crowe and Brad Pitt.) In the end, Brolin emerged as a surprise contender, notching his second Marvel Comics character in the process; the actor plays the villain Thanos in the Marvel Studios movies. Sources say Brolin's deal is for four films.
David Leitch is directing the sequel to Fox's surprise blockbuster, with the movie heading toward a June production start in Vancouver. Reynolds is reprising his role as the wisecracking mercenary, with the story expanding to include other characters from Deadpool's corner of Marvel's X-Men universe."
Ryan Reynolds kunne ikke holde sig tilbage fra at komme med en joke på Twitter:
"The fuck, Fox! You can't play 2 characters in the same universe!! Josh Brolin was in Sicario and I was in Sabrina The Teenage Witch."
