10 Actors Who Could Play Cable In The Deadpool Sequel

6) Liev Schreiber

Yes, he’s already played Sabretooth in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but if Reynolds could come back in Deadpool as a totally different version of his character, would it really be a big deal for the Ray Donovan star to take on the role of Cable?

Plus, let’s face it, there would be a lot of fourth wall breaking fun to be had with Wade mentioning the fact that Cable looks mighty familiar.

Regardless, Schreiber was wasted in Wolverine and deserves a much bigger and more satisfying role in a comic book movie. As Cable, he could really show off what a badass he is, and he also has the right gruff demeanour to absolutely nail this character.

5) Ray Stevenson

As Volstagg, Ray Stevenson is being wasted in the Thor movies. After the tremendous job he did as Frank Castle in Punisher: Warzone, many fans hoped he would one day get chance to reprise tat role, but Cable would be even better.

At this point in his career, playing bad ass tough guys has become pretty much second nature for the British actor, and the Deadpool sequel is a comic book movie he would actually get a chance to show that off in, unlike the snippets we’ve seen of him in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Frequently cast in villainous roles, seeing Stevenson move away from that to play a noble but still tough as nails hero like Cable would be a fun change of pace.
