Josh Brolin Cast to Play Cable in 'Deadpool 2'
The actor does double duty in addition to playing Thanos in ‘Avengers.’

Marvel announced that Josh Brolin will be casted to play Cable in the future Deadpool 2 film. Cable aka Nathan Summers is the time-traveling son of Cyclops and Jean Grey who was sent from the future to prevent an apocalypse. In the Marvel Universe (New Mutants #98), the witty mercenary Deadpool was hired to kill Cable; we can assume and anticipate that Josh Brolin will be heading toe-to-toe with Ryan Reynolds in this upcoming sequel, even though the two become friends in the comic. Keep in mind, the actor is also slated to fulfill the highly-anticipated role of The Mad Titan, aka Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War scheduled to hit theaters next year.
