Such a creative jump would also make quite a bit of sense when we look at how Deadpool 2 draws from the Terminator franchise.
In the same way, Cable could potentially be going back to save the life of his father-in-law and confirm the birth of his wife while also preventing her murder.
Yes, we acknowledge that this theory seems relatively wild, but with Deadpool 2 setting up room for more sequels, we will have to wait and see how the franchise evolves this narrative throughline.
Many of the scenes of Cable building weapons in his dingy hotel room feel lifted almost directly from the original Terminator film — a movie about a father (Michael Biehn’s Kyle Reese) going back to ensure the survival of his son.
