Nictarion Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Hmm...I know everyone wants Stephen Lang, but Pearlman would be a good fit too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvinus85 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 If Perlman is as passionate about playing Cable, as Ryan Reynolds has been about playing Deadpool, then there's no question, let him have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhom Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Following the links around on that Ron Perlman bit, I was stunned to see that Liefield wants Jon Hamm to play Cable?!!? Now I love Hamm as much as any other Mad Men fan, but I'm not seeing it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKitttenGuard Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 The extended bridge scene from the Blu-Ray had some of the best moments that end up being cut. The best were additional dialogue with NSTWH, the pre-call callback with Ajax, and Ryan Reynolds going off on the Green Lantern. Many of the other scenes are actually good but cut as a result of some story changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dooog Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Imo Max Martini would be a good choice for Cable. Perlman is a bit too old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormont Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I think Hamm would be fine. I love Ron Perlman, but if you dyed Jon Hamm's hair, why would he not be a good fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much of a pretty boy. Not sure he could pull off a grizzled war hardened time traveller like Cable. Perlman and Lang are both better fits imo.

I think of Cable as being much bigger than Hamm. I feel like someone with some mass is required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalbear Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 The problem with Stephen Lang or Clancy Brown as Cable is that they're great as Cable; I don't see them as great in a deadpool movie. To be fair I don't really know what the Cable and Deadpool arc is like, but I would imagine that he's basically the straight man to Deadpool and it's some kind of 48 hours thing. In which case you need someone who is at least a bit goofy-minded who can also do menace. I don't see that about Clancy Motherfucking Brown. And I love him. But he does Menace, and that's it. Maybe Stephen Lang - I honestly haven't seen much outside of avatar with him - but seems similar. Perlman, however, does goofy and stud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus he has that grizzled, time-worn sort of look and attitude that Cable is supposed to exude. I think Perlman is perfect casting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he'd be good, but I think Perlman would be fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BlackBear Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Clancy Brown, is one of the main cast of Spongebob (a series I despise, but is still a comedy.) did Starship troopers which was undoubtedly goofy. He was in Hail, Caesar! So I don't think he's quite that straight laced, Cable has always been the straight man next to Deadpool's wackiness anyway. 3 minutes ago, Tywin et al. said: Ok, let me try again. Ray Stevenson? Better! I don't really mind them slimming down for the role a bit, as most superhero actors are slimmer than their comic book counterparts anyway.

The BlackBear Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Serious. He's very concerned about the future and saving the world, and all that big league moralising stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
