While the original film did dabble in the X-Men universe, and show off a corner of the Weapon X program that birthed Wolverine (and Deadpool, for that matter), the events of Deadpool were still grounded by comic-book expectations, and we wonder how Deadpool 2 will touch on time travel — and Cable’s complicated backstory — without stretching the reach of its narrative.
Why are we instantly assuming that the introduction of Cable and Domino will increase the size and scope of Deadpool 2?
Well, as Ryan Reynolds hints at in the text of his Twitter share, Cable is from the future, and the sequel will have to delve into time travel just by simply making him a character.
