Second Dead Pool Creator Rob Liefeld, Brad Pitt he was originally supposed to play Cable Deadpool 2. Pitt would have made an interesting choice, but in the end… Josh Brolin he was cast in the role and was perfect as the character. He was a much better choice than Pitt!
During a recent interview on CB’s Collectibles Show, Liefeld was asked about the character’s resemblance to Brad Pitt and the rumors that Pitt would play Cable, and he said:
“I know 100% that it was true. They did previews and David Leitch had a very special relationship with whom he did the stunt work.” [Pitt]. What people don’t know is that it happened very early. So when they knew they weren’t going in that direction, they took down a lot more.”
Now, even though Pitt didn’t play Cablie, he did appear in the film for a frame or two as Vanisher, who was one of the ill-fated members of the X-Force team.
Liefeld went on to talk about Brolin’s casting and how his wife had to convince him to test for the role. If he didn’t accept, someone else would take over Cable’s role. Luckily everything worked!
No word on whether Cable will appear Deadpool 3but I really hope it does!
