Deadpool 2: Stephen Lang Campaigning for Cable

     This is something that makes me very happy.  In fact, I've mentioned it time and again in 2013!- Stephen Lang would make a perfect Cable for the Deadpool sequel we all know has already been confirmed, and because it is currently slaying the box office this weekend.  Plus we also know there's an X-Force film in the works as well.  What makes this so much better is Lang himself is now campaigning for the role!

     I really, REALLY hope this happens.  Lang is an amazing actor, both for his military hardass characterization (Avatar) and his comedic roles (The Men Who Stare at Goats), and he'd bring a tremendous range to this fan-favorite character.  My only wish after this is to have him look more like the Ultimate X-Men version (despite that Cable not really being Nathan Summers), as he has the looks of a very balanced fighter that'd work very well with Lang's build.

Let's lay some CABLE. You know I want it. This is pre-training. Thanks for spreading the word. #Deadpool pic.twitter.com/jI1Y1i0oH0

@VancityReynolds Deadpool was AWESOME! Blew my mind! I refuse to see Deadpool 2 if @IAmStephenLang isn't Cable. pic.twitter.com/K1fQiWcNpX

    Seeing how Deadpool pretty much got pushed through into production due to mass fan backing, this is another campaign I'll get behind.
