First Look at Josh Brolin as Cable in ‘Deadpool 2’

After many months of anticipation, Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds used his social media accounts to reveal what costar Josh Brolin will look like as Cable in the upcoming sequel to the 2016 hit.

Reynolds tweeted out two photos of Brolin in his Cable guise. The first was a close-up of the character’s battle-scarred face, while the second — which was also shared by Brolin himself and co-creator Rob Liefield — was a three-quarter body shot, that displayed the character’s metal arm and penchant for gigantic guns.

The reveal comes a week after Reynolds revealed the first look at Zazie Beetz as mutant hitwoman Domino, also on his Twitter account.

Cable, introduced by Liefeld and writer Louise Simonson, became one of Marvel Comics’ most popular characters of the early 1990s and played a part in defining the look of comics at the time. Cable’s time-traveling origins are directly tied in with the X-Men franchise, though it’s unclear if the film will alter his backstory. In later years, the character starred in numerous series, including one with Deadpool.

Hey kids! Make those characters, create those worlds! Those of you who were around back then remember when Marvel editorial asked me, at 21 years young, to transform the New Mutants and I attacked that assignment like no other! 27 years later and these characters are still kicking the culture in the ass!! So exciting! These are my earliest sketches and notes creating these characters! #robliefeld #Deadpool #cable #domino #xforce #robliefeld #marvel #ryanreynolds #joshbrolin #zaziebeetz
