Deadpool 2: 25 WTF Moments

11. The Vanisher Is...Brad Pitt!?

There's one X-Force member who was largely kept out of the movie's trailers, but considering the fact he's invisible, that's somewhat understandable: The Vanisher.

The hero is introduced during Deadpool and Weasel's audition process, with neither of them being sure whether they're actually interviewing him or just staring at a blank room ("He may be running late").

Most of the X-Force members meet their aforementioned doom shortly after jumping from the plane, and just as Vanisher comes in for his landing, he gets caught on some power lines, being electrocuted to death.

For a brief moment, however, the electricity makes Vanisher visible to the naked eye, and he's played by Brad freaking Pitt (or at least a JPG of Brad Pitt, because his face doesn't move an inch and looks kinda weird).

Considering Pitt was apparently in the running to play Cable at one point in time, it's awesome that he got a role in the movie regardless, no matter how small. Nobody saw it coming, but at the same time, if you blinked, you could've easily missed it.
