Grey’s Café: This X-Men Fan Film Should Make the MCU Scared

It’s being reported that Michael Shannon, who recently played Zod in Man of Steel and Doomsday in Batman v Superman, is the frontrunner to play time travelling mutant Cable in the upcoming Deadpool 2. Thankfully, he isn’t the only name on the list.

While Michael Shannon is a great actor – he was terrific as Zod – Cable probably needs a more exciting choice to play the character. Given his disinterest in Batman v Superman, it seemed unlikely that Shannon would return to doing a superhero role. He fell asleep while watching the film he admitted in an interview. “You’re gonna get me in trouble, man! People ask me about this all the time. Okay, I’ll tell you the god’s honest truth. Zack [Snyder] is gonna kill me for this — he’s gonna kill me. I watched it once and I fell asleep,” Michael Shannon told Fandango. But could Cable bring the actor back out of slumber?

Of course, there are a few other names floating around on the net, including Brad Pitt, Pierce Brosnan and Stranger Thing’s David Harbour. The studio has yet to make a final decision.

We certainly wouldn’t complain if Shannon got the part, but there has to be more exciting options out there.

    He’s not the worst choice, Cable needs to be the serious straight man to Deadpool. I’d take him over any of the other actors mentioned in the article. I’m going to put this out in the universe though…Karl Urban.

    Shannon is a solid actor and more than capable of being the straight man to Deadpool. I feel like the doubt cast on him is because he was in Man of Steel. Loved him as Zod, and I think(should he be cast) he’d make a great Cable.

    An interesting choice. Not one I would have thought of, but I could see it working.
