The biggest priority for the Deadpool 2 team right now is finding the right actor to play Cable, the time-traveling mutant whose involvement was confirmed in Deadpool‘s post-credits scene.
The first film infamously lingered in development hell for years, and likewise the sequel has had some issues getting off the ground.
Names such as Kyle Chandler have been rumored for the part, but nothing official has come out on that front yet.
The role is obviously a pertinent aspect of the sequel, and the filmmakers will not forge ahead until all the pieces are in place.
