WithDeadpool 2 productionslated to begin on June 26, up one week from June 19, the stars are getting ready for the shoot. Over the weekend, Josh Brolin, who was recently confirmed to play the Cable, shared a new photo that highlights his training for this Mutant role. And what his training has changed about his diet. Here’s what the actor had to say on Instagram, showing off his biceps.
“Cable’s coming, growing from the inside. Clean building from a past of donut travel to the present hard case that he is. No sugar. No bread. No pastas. The machine is being built. I’m pissed off. #cable #deadpool #ryanreynoldsismybitch #cleangrowth @justindlovato @iambuilt #fourweeksin”
Unfortunately, the actor didn’t reveal anything else onInstagram, but there is still plenty of time between now and production starting next month to reveal more training photos. Many fans were surprised whenJosh Brolinwas chosen to play Cable, since he’s currently playing the Mad Titan himself, Thanos, who will have a huge role inAvengers: Infinity WarandAvengers 4. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige revealed in a recent interview that the studio has “no problem” with the actor playing both Thanos and Cable, since they are two completely different characters.
A report from last week revealed that 20th Century Fox is currently casting for threeX-Force characterswho will show up during a post-credits scene that will help set up the newX-Forcemovie. These characters are Sunspot, Feral and Shadowstar, only one of which has been previously seen on the big screen. Adan Canto played Sunspot inX-Men: Days of Future Past, but the other two characters will be making their big screen debuts in this movie. Sunspot, a.k.a. Roberto DaCosta, has the power to absorb light, which gives him even greater physical strength. Feral, a.k.a. Maria Callasantos, is a cat-like mutant who has super-human senses and agility along with razor-sharp claws and a healing factor, and she has been a regular member of theX-Force. Shatterstar, a.k.a. Gaveedra Seven, is the son of Dazzler and Longshot, but thanks to different time travel story lines, he is actually responsible for the creation of Longshot. Shatterstar has hollow bones which make him lighter than most people, and he has eyes that can change from clear to silver.
