Action star Stephen Lang admits that he was never in the running to play Cable in Deadpool 2 – and in fact, he doesn’t really know much about the character at all.
However, while names like Michael Shannon and Brad Pitt were all floating around, many saw Lang as the perfect choice to play Cable.
Given the record-breaking success of Deadpool, getting the sequel right was always going to be a major concern, especially when it came to casting Cable.
Still, one can’t help but wonder what might’ve been, had Lang been cast as the time-traveling mercenary instead.
