Josh Brolin has become one of the largest characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Thanos right up until the moment that he was snapped out of existence by Tony Stark. While Brolin’s major MCU character is gone, he has another which could feasibly remain! With Disney’s acquisition of Fox, we’ve heard that Ryan Reynolds’ ‘Deadpool’ was safe from being rebooted and fans are hoping that could include Brolin’s take on the time traveler Cable.
The character’s creator Rob Liefeld also wants to see this iteration of Cable not only get transferred into the MCU but be able to have a stand-alone movie as well! Here is what Liefeld had to say on Instagram about the situation:
“Watching Josh Brolin bring Cable to life was an obvious thrill, not just for me but for millions of fans that have followed his debut since New Mutants #87. Cable is the face of two blockbuster franchises at Marvel, his own best selling line over the past 28 years and the record-shattering X-Force. I get asked repeatedly about when we will see Josh as Cable again, and my hope is that Marvel Studios will launch one of their favorite sons, Josh, as well as one of their most popular characters into a solo franchise much sooner than later. As a character Cable has outsold any comic book by Dr. Strange, Ant-Man, Black Widow, The Eternals, even Iron Man.
The character has lined the toy aisles for 28 years, non-stop. The character, as part of the Deadpool universe, made it safely across and into the Disney fold. He’s a time traveler to boot, ripe for expanded tales of his rich history. And longtime fans are aware of the unique opportunities that fulfilling the extent of role presents. I’ve spoken on numerous occasions to Josh about his passion to go deeper into the complexities of CABLE. If there is any doubt about whether he’s game to play Cable again, just ask him. Plus, he’s told me he’s going to get even more “jacked” and swole for his next outing!”
Marvel Studios has been quiet as to any future plans for Deadpool, those related to him, and if they would end up in the MCU. It isn’t clear if he will somehow get transferred into the main continuity or exist in a parallel universe, but one thing is for sure, fans and Liefeld want to see Cable continue on and get his own movie.
Only time will tell how that plays out.
