We know by this point that mutant Nathan Summers AKA Cable is set to appear in Deadpool 2 – look Deadpool wasn’t exactly subtle about it – and it seems like there’s been a plethora of potential actors attached to the role.
From the obvious choice of Stephen Lang to the other solid choices of Liam Neeson and Pierce Brosnan, there’s a lot of names attached that we can see in the role (that’s him above fighting Deadpool in the comics) but it looks like we have a new contender for the role and we love the actor… but can’t visualise him as Cable.
Yes, Stranger Things and Suicide Squad star David Harbour (below) is apparently now attached for the part.
Word on the street is that Harbour is FOX’s current choice for the role.
Does this mean we’ll see him as the son of X-Men leader Cyclops? Not necessarily, but it does make sense to go with a younger actor if they foresee him starring as the time-travelling mutant in an X-Force movie and maybe beyond.
What do you all think? Can you see Harbour in the role?

Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
