I believe the answer to the X4, X5, Deadpool & future X-Men Universe films is CABLE. He would provide the much needed link to combine the X Universe.

Deadpool
After X-Men: First class the next film should be the Deadpool film. As there is no obvious antagonist for this film the introduction of Cable as a sort of anti hero that goes back and forth with Deadpool throughout, explaining both their past, present & futures would be a masterstroke. Possibly ending with Deadpool coming out on top and Cable time travelling to a post apocalyptic future..

X4, X5, X6, etc.
This film open with a now in the future Cable being attacked as he tries to travel back to fix his current present day. In turn preventing the deaths of Scott Summers, Jean Grey & Professor X (fixing the mess left by X3) and revealing a new enemy(ies). I would go with Mr. Sinister & a hidden Apocalypse pulling the strings. This would leave endless possibilities for future films & also Origin films.

Stories like Age of Apocalypse, Days of Future Past, Phalanx Covenant, Time Fugitives, Till Death do us Part, Out of the Past, Savage Land Savage Heart, Phoenix Saga & Dark Phoenix saga, Beyond Good & Evil, Sanctuary, and Night of the Sentinels would transfer great to the big screen if done right.

I would absolutely love to see Sinister & Apocalypse introduced as they are my favourite villains in X-Universe and I would kill for a R rated no holds barred Wolverine but what can ya do?!?

There are so many capable actors who could play Cable, and honestly it really wouldn’t matter to me that much who plays him as long as they portray Cable’s attitude and demeanor correctly. One thing is certain though, an encounter between Cable and Apocalypse would HAVE to happen. I think there are lots of other fans out there who have been DYING to see Apocalypse in action and who better to fight him than Cable, who has been a thorn in his side for AGES.

The whole mess started with that Cable baby. In Uncanny #201. Cyclops fights Storm (with no powers mind!) for the leadership of the x-men, and Storm wins! Cyclops is acting like a wuss, as usual and isn’t paying any attention to his wife, Madelyn or son, Nathan.

Then after he runs off to jean, forming X-Factor. leaving his wife to be hunted by the Marauders… the son is taken back by sinister and to be sacrificed in Inferno.

X-men/X-factor/New Mutants to the rescue.

Zip forward

Cable arrives to take over with the New Mutants and make them a quick strike x-force.

What’s the kicker?

It should be a Cable movie, not deadpool.

Bruce Willis gets my vote for Cable. But hmm, how about Kiefer Sutherland?

Kate Winslet as Madelyne Pryor, then it won’t matter who plays Cable.

Haggislaw says: “Arnold Hell Yeah”

LOL. Maybe the powers that be will have a stroke of irony and put Cable in the next Terminator movie?

we dont KNOW that cyclops is dead, also Jean wasn t cables mother… it was the Madeline Pryor. and sinister manipulated it all so that whole “cables parents are dead” argument is quite redundant

I’m not a comic geek, so don’t know who would actually fit or not, but looking at the suggestions, I say yes to Bruce Willis for anything, and Michael Biehn, aka Kyle Reese, heck yah, lol.

Arnold Hell Yeah….now thats waht i call a Badass Almost Half Cybernetic Timetraveling Kick in the Nuts Move!! =D

well maybe they make him the son of Kurt Wagner

Why not Roland Kickinger to play Cable? Biehn, gee why don’t you just get the AArrrnold? That’s after all who he was modeled after. I tell you if they bring anymore of these extreme mesomorph types out your gonna need bleeding edge effects as stand-in…

Past Due X-Men Foes That Could Translate Cinematically:

Mr. Sinister

Omega Red

Apocalypse

Silver Samurai

(Real) Sentinels / Nimrod / Mastermold

Any other suggestions?

@ John “Kahless” Taylor,

Cyclops aint dead, mannn

Plus, this series isn’t following the comics, remember. I said it once before, but what if Cable is the son of Emma and younger Cyclops pre-Jean (in First Class)? That’s extreme but a more realistic scenario is that if they go with Sinister as a villain in X4 and as a guest spot in some other X movie, Cable could be a result of his experiments using Cyc’s & Jean’s DNA.

I doubt they’ll go with the Madelyne Pryor Clone-of-Jean thing as they can’t explain when Cyclops would get married and have a kid with her… unless that happens in X4.

There’s always a way with comic-based material and the time-travel opens up an entire new direction to explore for the franchise with all of its upcoming movies.

Michael Biehn, now there’s a suggestion. I’ve always hated the fact that he never got more popular. Plus, unlike some of these suggestions, I could see him being the spawn of James Marsden.

John

They always find a way to bring people back in the comics so they will do the same here somehow. Cable has to be in these movies at some point and killing off Cyclops and Jean Grey was total bull.

Yes to Michael Biehn
