It’s definitely reassuring that they’re thinking long-term, hoping that Cable becomes as big a part of the sprawling X-Men franchise as his long-term partner.
Cable is head of the X-Force so it’s someone who can also command a movie franchise.
Deadpool 2 is set to begin filming this summer, so that really puts a limit on when we’ll get an announcement.
On that note, it’s interesting that the writer mentions other castings, hinting that we can expect a bigger cast of new characters beyond Domino and Cable.
