Looks Like Brad Pitt Was In Line For The Role Of Cable In DEADPOOL 2 After All; May Still Be A Contender

The Tracking Board's Jeff Sneider Tweeted the following the other day, giving rise to the rumor that Brad Pitt might be in line to play Cable in Deadpool 2. Because of the constant stream of actors said to be in contention for the role, most of is assumed he was just having some fun, but a new report indicatives that the iconic Fight Club star was indeed considering coming on board 20th Century Fox and director David Leitch's sequel.

According to Collider, Pitt was indeed eyed to play the time-travelling badass, and was initially interested before moving on, presumably because of a sceduling conflict. However, with the Cable role said to be "in flux", there is a chance he may reconsider.

Right now, Man of Steel's Michael Shannon is reportedly the frontrunner, but we do know nothing is set in stone just yet.

Whoever signs up to play Cable in Deadpool 2, he'll join Ryan Reynolds as the returning Merc with a Mouth, and Zazie Beetz as Domino.

Honestly I'd be all about it if they got him. Imagine him with Reynolds, they'd be so great together.

I really hope he reconsiders, anyone else to me wouldn't be able to get me hyped like this casting.

Wow, Brad Pitt would be an amazing get. If he actually accepted the role of Cable then Deadpool 2 and X-Force would skyrocket towards the top of my most anticipated CBM list.

I doubt Reynolds will cast any actor that takes the spotlight off of him.
