Josh Brolin Wants To Play Cable Again In The MCU

In an interview with ComicBook.com, Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld said that Josh Brolin wants to play Cable again in the MCU even though he previously played Thanos for the studio. The Deadpool films were originally at FOX, but when Disney purchased FOX they got the rights back for Marvel. It remains to be seen if Deadpool 3 will feature the same continuity as the rest of the MCU.

Liefeld said: “I’m going to tell your viewers…Josh wants to be Cable again sooner than later. He is itching to be Cable again. He loved being Cable. He told me he understands how beloved his role as Thanos is, but he doesn’t look completely like Josh Brolin. These are Josh Brolin’s own words telling me, Rob Liefeld. He told me, ‘Rob when I appeared as Cable in Deadpool 2, my phones rang off the hook.’ It changed everything for him and obviously Josh is gonna get some career lifetime achievement award at some point. The guy is just one of our greatest actors.“
