10 Actors Who Could Play Cable In The Deadpool Sequel

Those involved with the Deadpool movie have been teasing an appearance from Cable for a while now, but the Merc with a Mouth himself confirmed that the fan-favourite character will be making an appearance in the sequel during his after-credits scene (where he also hilariously mentioned Dolph Lundgren and Keira Knightley as possible candidates to play the role).

Liam Neeson

Wade at one point makes some very funny remarks about Liam Neeson and the Taken movies in Deadpool, but while he may have been the butt of the joke there, there’s no denying that the actor has what it takes to play a character like Cable.

Seeing as he’s starred in so many action movies in recent years, it’s genuinely surprising that Neeson hasn’t set his sights on a superhero film just yet, and this franchise is perhaps the best possible place for him to show off his very particular set of skills.

The fact that Neeson’s deadpan style of humour is absolutely hilarious (see his appearance in Life’s Too Short for proof of that) could also be a bonus in regards to spicing up Cable a little.
