In a recent interview with The Playlist, Josh Brolin shared his feelings about not being called up to reprise his role as Cable in the anticipated MCU movie “Deadpool & Wolverine.” Despite initially appearing on the IMDb listing for the film, Brolin revealed that it was all a mistake. “It’s as if Marvel were a more complex labyrinth than ‘Outer Range,'” the actor commented, referring to the series in which he also participates. Brolin expressed his disappointment in a jovial manner, underlining how much he enjoyed playing Cable and how fun it was to work in that universe.
With the exclusion of Brolin, “Deadpool and Wolverine” remains one of Marvel’s few big bets for 2024, standing out as a key piece within the Multiverse Saga. The film not only introduces Ryan Reynolds’ Wade Wilson into the MCU timeline, but also marks the return of Hugh Jackman as a new variant of Wolverine. This fresh focus on classic and beloved characters promises to explore alternate realities and delve into the interconnected narrative that Marvel has been weaving.
His version of Cable will not be in the movie
Despite his absence in the film, Brolin did not skimp on praise for his colleagues, especially for Hugh Jackman, with whom he has developed a mutual admiration and respect over the years. “Hugh, I don’t know how old he is now, 56, 57? Seriously, the guy doesn’t age. And when he did Logan, forget it. Scott Frank, who wrote it, is a good friend of mine and I think the union of these characters is just fantastic.” “Brolin said.
Meanwhile, the Marvel cinematic universe continues to expand with “Deadpool and Wolverine,” which promises not only action and adventure, but also surprises that have not yet been revealed. Fans can expect the return of several characters from previous Deadpool films and a selection of X-Men actors reprising their roles, thus enriching the complex fabric of the MCU with more threads from past stories.
Josh Brolin, although disappointed not to participate in this new installment, remains committed to his other projects and maintains a positive attitude towards his colleagues and the Marvel universe. His experience as Cable and as Thanos in the MCU has clearly left a lasting impression on both him and the fans. With the premiere of “Deadpool & Wolverine” scheduled for July 25, the enthusiasm and expectation of fans only grows.
