Jack Kesy (The Strain, Baywatch) is playing the film’s central villain, which, while unconfirmed, is rumored to be Irish mutant Black Tom Cassidy.
There were certainly a few references to the former Hugh Jackman character in the first Deadpool and it’s all the more fitting to work the beloved X-Men character into the film advertisements.
Deadpool 2 will be released May 18.
Reynolds is reprising his role as the Merc with a Mouth in Deadpool 2 alongside Zazie Beetz as the luck-manipulating mutant Domino and Josh Brolin as Cable, the time-traveling son of the X-Men’s Cyclops.
