Debate Surrounds Cable’s Absence from the Marvel Cinematic Universe

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) continues to captivate audiences with its films and series, although its recent lineup has stirred debate among fans, particularly regarding the absence of certain characters. One notable discussion point is the omission of Cable, portrayed by Josh Brolin, in the recent MCU narrative.

Rob Liefeld, co-creator of the ‘Deadpool‘ comic books, voiced his opinion on the matter, expressing disappointment over the exclusion of Cable from the MCU’s recent offerings. Liefeld, known for his candid remarks, suggested on Twitter that not having Brolin reprise his role as Cable “is a missed opportunity.” Liefeld further advocated for Brolin’s return in multiple films, highlighting the character’s potential within the MCU.

Fans were introduced to Cable in ‘Deadpool 2′, where the character played a significant role alongside Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool and Zazie Beetz’s Domino. Though discussions were underway for an ‘X-Force’ movie involving these characters, the acquisition of Fox by Disney altered the trajectory of the franchise, leaving Cable’s future uncertain.

Experts speculate that Brolin’s dual association with the MCU could account for the hesitation to continue his portrayal of Cable, considering his already iconic performance as Thanos. Despite this, Liefeld insists on Cable’s return, underlining the rich narrative potential and fan interest in the character.

As Liefeld and fans await further developments from the MCU, the success of ‘Deadpool & Wolverine‘, which performed well at the box office, adds context to the demand for Cable’s return. The movie’s achievements have sparked hopes for an expanded role for the character within upcoming Marvel projects. As of now, Marvel Studios has not announced specific plans regarding Cable or the ‘X-Force’, leaving room for speculation and anticipation.
