11 Most Exciting Deadpool Movie Rumours

Creator Rob Liefeld may have apparently told the Deadpool producers that fan favourite character Cable didn’t need to be in the Deadpool movie, but he did confirm that Fox have plans to bring the X-Force leader into their expanded universe.

“Cable is awesome. And he will…when he appears on screen, we’re all going to nerdgasm, because he’s coming. They can’t hold him back. He’s coming.”

It's unlikely that Cable will appear in his own movie, and introducing him for Apocalypse would probably be a mistake given the potential that he'll get lost among too much detail, so introducing him initially at the end of Deadpool would make more sense. He is effectively a Nick Fury style figure after all, and he could be the key to tying Deadpool to other mutants for the wider universe.
