Most recently, Stranger Things star David Harbour was being mentioned in connection with Cable, while earlier this week the word was that Man of Steel’s Michael Shannon is the current frontrunner.
Since then, some stars have expressed interest in the role and a number of others have been rumored for the part.
The part of Cable in Deadpool 2 has been a much talked about role ever since the first movie clearly stated that the character would appear in the sequel.
While either actor would be a solid choice, the news from Collider that Brad Pitt was also in the running is a surprise on several levels.
