He deserves to be in a good comic book movie. He was one of the very few good things about man of steel. Extremely underrated actor. I still think eric dane would be the perfect Cable, but I can support this.

I think I see where you are going with this...Vince McMahon or Hugh Jackman!

But, they'll probably frick it up. I also don't know if Deadpool's parent company have the rights to x-men characters such as Apocalypse.



I dunno...



...do they?

Have no idea about his politics, couldn't care any less. He'd make a pretty solid damn Cable. Jon Hamm is Rob Liefields choice. He definitely has the comedic timing to match Reynolds and be the straight man

There are some other rumors that Brad Pitt may be in line for the role

Honestly, Dolph Lundgren if he were a little younger and a better actor. Although his roll in Rocky 4 wasn't much different than Cable as far as his demeanor. He might could still pull it off.

Yeah, I've always thought someone along that line - aging action star - would be right for Cable. I was looking at the cast for The Expendables and didn't really see a perfect Cable, but that's the type of guy I would look for. Grizzled and terse.

I guess Shannon is a good possibility. There's a part of me that thinks someone like Dolph L would be physically a near perfect match, but I wonder if you can pay Chuck Norris an extra couple million to shave his beard and go grey to play the part.

Never read the comic but I enjoy the movies. So I went looked up Cable and as soon as I saw his pic I immediately thought Ron Pearlman.

He's a pretty decent actor, hate his politics though. I don't see him a Cable.

His acting was damn good. The plot/writing of that movie was damn bad.
