After Fantastic Four’s disastrous performance at the box office, 20th Century FOX hopes to pick up the pieces with a possible Deadpoolsequel. The movie hasn’t even hit theaters yet (February 2016 couldn’t come sooner) but judging from the reaction to the trailer, the major studio might have a better run this time around. They’re also beefing things up by throwing Cable, Wade Wilson’s partner in crime, into the mix.
According to MTV News, producer Simon Kinberg says there’s a chance that the time traveling son of X-Men alum Cyclops will be joining the “Merc with a Mouth” for the follow up to the much-anticipated movie. “[Cable is] a character that I’ve always wanted to do in one form or another,” he told Collider at the Toronto International Film Festival. “We talked about Cable actually in Days of Future Past at one point. But yeah, we’re in such the early stages of sequel talk, it would be genuinely premature for me to say whether or not he was gonna be in it.”
However, this all depends on whether or not a sequel actually comes to fruition.
“We were talking about the sequel while we were making the movie, just because when you make a film like this that’s from a serialized source material, you hope that it’s the first of many, and we still hope that,” he added. “We still have work to do on the movie because it obviously doesn’t come out for many months, but yeah, they’re feeling good about it, we’re all feeling really proud of it. So hopefully before it comes out, we will be well into the process of figuring out a sequel.”
In other words, hold off on the celebrations until we get a final confirmation.
