For as long as fans
wanted to see a movie featuring their one and only Merc With A Mouth, they have
also been praying to the powers that be for a live-action adaptation of the
time traveling, techno-organic virus infected, gun wielding badass superhero,
Cable.
When speaking to
Empire Magazine about the inclusion of the weirdly named mutant Negasonic
Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand) to Deadpool, director Tim Miller revealed she
wasn't his first choice and that other characters like Garrison Kane (too
expensive), and Cannonball ("he would’ve been a stupid hick character")
were also being considered. Miller also revealed that Cable is definitely a possibility
should Deadpool prove to be a box office success and a sequel is greenlit.
"There aren’t
really many definitive Deadpool villains, apart from Cable," he said. "If we don’t put
Cable in Deadpool 2 I think we’ll be run out of town on a rail."
Created in mid 80's
by Rob Liefeld and Louise Jones Simonson, Cable is the son of X-Men leader
Cyclopse and Madelyne Pryor, a clone of Jean Grey. His powers (some via gadgets) include astral
projection, blast power, force fields, levitation, precognition, super strength,
technopathy, telekinesis, telepathy, time travel, and teleportation.
Deadpool opens on
February 12, 2016.
