Deadpool 2is formally in theatre of operations and ruling the box office just like its predecessor did back in 2015 . But this episode is about more than just crude laugh and over - the - top action mechanism scene ; it also includes the unveiling of a longtime Marvel part that buff have been clamoring to see on the big screen since 2000’sX - Menhit theater of operations : Cable .
But the Cable inDeadpool 2isn’t quite the one fans have gotten used to in the books — for newcomer , his major power and backstory are reined in considerably . While it ’s easygoing to take over that ’s by intention , so that audiences can well relate to the graphic symbol ( which is played by Josh Brolin ) , some fans have speculated that the changes are because , well , this character is n’t really Cable at all ; instead , Screen Ranthas a theory that this rendering of the fiber is in reality none other than an olderWolverinefrom the future .
So how can Wolverine be Cable ? Well , it ’s in reality quite easy , considering that WolverinewasCable in Marvel ’s Ultimate Universe comics , which was a serial of books in the 2000s that totally reimagined the regular Marvel Universe . In this reality , a grizzle , aged Wolverine direct on the Cable nickname and trip back in clock time to prevent a takeover of Earth from the villain Apocalypse .
We were already introduce to Apocalypse in 2016’sX - Men : Revelation , and while he was vote out in the end , Screen Ranttheorizesthat he could return like he does in theUltimate X - Mencomics : by inhabiting the body of Nathaniel Essex , a.k.a . Mister Sinister . Essex was already name - dropped inApocalypseandDeadpool 2 , so it stands to reason that there might be some larger level on the horizon for him .
This would , of path , lead to moreX - Menmovies down the road , with Cable bring out his true nature and teaming with a crew of mutants that includes the authoritative X - Men cast as well as their young selves to combat a freshly form Apocalypse . It ’d also allow the character of Wolverine to live on in Brolin , leave Hugh Jackman to savour a pull back sprightliness without nipper .
patently this is just one fan hypothesis base on a funny storyline from over a decennary ago . It would also have to disregard a whole master of ceremonies of persistence problems — including the events ofLogan . But have a twist with Cable in reality being Wolverine from the future ( and likely from a different world ) is the eccentric of headache - inducing madness the strip are known for .
