Biehn would be a good choice for Cable, and there would be awesome fourth wall breakage to use but I’d prefer they go with someone relatively unknown. Neal McDonough for Cable, anyone? He already looks the part, he just needs to bulk up a ton.

Yea Biehn would have to bulk up for the role. But Cable in the comics is like, Ahnuld size. And there isn’t any decent actors out there who are that big, unless you want a wrestler in the role, which I definitely don’t. There has to be a compromise on the size thing. I think Biehn would literally be PERFECT for the role. Deadpool could even reference his other movies, a nice way to break the fourth wall.

If they are going to cast Bishop, I had an idea. I was watching that show Dhani Tackles The Globe and he certainly LOOKS like Bishop. Just give him some Soul-Glow and a plasma rifle and you’re set. Seriously. Google him.

[...] I wrote about Ryan Reynolds and his desire to not only have his own Deadpool solo movie, but to feature the character Cable as his opposite in the film. I’m all for that idea as I thought Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson in [...]

Michael Biehn is awesome, he’d need to get massive to play Cable though.

What about the legend that is Michael Biehn for Cable?

He used to be perfect at playing soldiers, and he has done time traveling before.

Him and Reynolds would be great together I reckon.

I just really want Deadpool to get a solo film with Reynolds as Deadpool. Reynolds was a perfect choice for the character and I liked him a lot in Wolverine

I dont understand why Fox keeps holing off on characters if they arent going to do them justice anyways. To quote Buster from Arrested Development, “its like [they] get off from withholding.”

No Gambit for 3 movies, then 10 minutes in XOW. No Beast for 2, then 10 minutes in X3. Same with Angel and Juggernaut. Finally we get Deadpool, oh wait he’s not Deadpool yet… (um so will we ever even see Deadpool?).

I would love a Cable Deadpool movie as much as the next guy, but not if Cable is some teen aged punk thats only in the movie for 10 minutes.

@Robert
Well, to do that, they would have to go back and either prevent Jean from turning or kill her before she turns (killing her after turning would be hard). In the future, Forge could develop some type of machine that prevents her from turning but I’m sure Fox would screw it up.

I personally would be fine with a creative writer going back and eliminating from all of our memories the deviation of X-Men 3 from the comic book. It just foreclosed all the great stories that were possible. There has to be some time traveling mutant that can go back in time and rescue everyone that died in that abomination. I am not saying it would be the best or most plausible answer to fixing this travesty, but anything to forget would work for me. Then we could continue X-men in a proper fashion. Or at least as proper a fashion that would be allowed given the deviations that Singer made from the source material as well.

I think they screwed FF2 up bad. Im a huge Silver surfer fan and I was so disapointed in the way they made his powers in his board like they did. the way he looked was amazing though.

I thought Mickey Rourke too but after his role in Iron Man 2, I’m against it.

Bruce Willis would be awesome and that would be a huge boost in star power for the film.

@ John “Kahless” Taylor

In the other thread, I also mentioned Bishop with Cable. I like your Michael Jai White suggestion, some pics of him make him look just like bald Bishop, he just needs to thicken up (even more than he already is). I also dig the older long-hair Bishop so I’d be up for that look in a movie.

I really dont like the idea of Deadpool/Cable. I think if you do Deadpool right after the Wolverine Movie, you have to go through his time when he was working for “Mr. Tolliver” and was a hitman/mercenary. You cant go into his good guy stuff right away, it takes way too much away from the character.

The original Joe Maduerera storyline is an awesome story that would be great adapted into a movie. Have Copycat in there and Black Tom

i’d take rourke over willis (mostly because of his size), but then again they are too old, cable can be cast younger (at least a bit younger, in the comics his age varies by who draws him). idk i’d like Gerard Butler for cable best

One of the 2 Michaels should be Bishop (Michael Jai White or Michael Clark Duncan). While I like Bruce Willis, I think he is too old to play Cable. I like the idea of Micky Rourke, although if this ever happens, he might be too old as well.

Holy hell! As soon as I read this post I almost scrolled to the bottom to suggest Bruce Willis, cause I thought it was brilliant, but apparently, the casting is sooo perfect others already beat me to it. Willis and Reynolds would rule. It would almost make up for X-3(you know, that and if they could somehow prevent the holocaust from have happened, it’d even out). But this is great news indeed. I seriously think more prequels and more skewed timelines is a terrible idea, however. If they could get a brilliant writer(or someone who has read comics for more than a week) to write a script for an X4, they could really turn this thing around. But, since it is Fox, I’m not holding my breath. Oh, and I must say, while I generally make it a rule to disagree with everything that Oscar says(ever) I also enjoyed the first Fantastic Four aside from the crappy portrayal of Doom. Torch and Thing were the highlight of the film, and they made it worth watching. Also, didn’t hate the Daredevil film, with the exception of the entire cathedral fight scene, Collin Farrell being a ridiculous casting choice and Jennifer Garner(no matter how attractive she is) totally miscast as Elektra. Affleck was actually tolerable. Elektra movie sucked hard-only slightly less terrible was Ghost Rider(Cage really has an Oscar?) Consider this rant over.

Everyone stop wishing for who you would like to play Cable. Zac says end of story so I guess he has the final say on coolness

Like the idea of Rouke as Cable but would that be going TOO old?

BTW, if you introduce Cable would you also have to introduce Bishop? I mean it was his job to hunt Cable down and kill him. Jason Momoa from SG:Atlantis would make a good choice.

Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool
Bruce Willis as Cable

End of story….

@Ody I agree Mickey Rourke would be perfect, give him the haircut a big ass gun and bam perfect Cable. I’d love to see a Deadpool spin off, because apparently this one is going to suck: http://www.newsy.com/videos/wolverine_declawed/ Of course I’m still going to see it and the movie will probably make $85 million this weekend which is still crazy good
