First Look At Josh Brolin’s Cable For Deadpool 2 Unveiled

Following the surprising (and most welcome) announcement that Sicario star Josh Brolin had been cast as the popular X-Men character Cable/Nathaniel Summers, many have been waiting for a look at Brolin fully realised as the fan-favourite mutant.

With regular updates on social media of Brolin’s workout regime and subtle cosmetic changes becoming noticeable, we’ve been given a very small glimpse into what the end result could be.

But today, Deadpool 2 co-star Ryan Reynolds posted the first official images of the actor in full Cable get-up on Twitter. Sporting his iconic cybernetic enhancements, eye scarring, and a silver streak running through his hair – a nod to Cable’s signature do in the comics.

Whilst Fox have taken a more stripped back, militarised approach with their iteration of Summers compared to most of the comic counterparts – Brolin looks absolutely incredible here. And we can not wait for the first trailer to drop to see him in action….
