Cable Goes On A Shopping Trip In New Deadpool 2 Set Photo

By Julia Bianco

Cable needs to take a quick trip to the store in the latest set photo from Deadpool 2. The photo, shared on Twitter by YVR Shoots, features Josh Brolin in costume as the mutant, carrying a shopping cart full of guns, groceries, and garbage as he looks suspiciously behind him. The scene was shot at Vancouver's Army and Navy on Tuesday night.

Brolin's Cable is one of the most highly anticipated parts of an already highly anticipated movie. The actor won the role after a long and drawn out casting search which also included the likes of Michael Shannon, Brad Pitt, and David Harbour. He has been gung-ho about the project ever since landing his second Marvel role, hyping fans by teasing his jacked physique. He also has the rest of the cast and crew firmly in his corner, with director David Leitch saying that he is the perfect Cable because he is able to "find humanity" in every character he plays.

While rumor has it that Cable and his backstory may not be huge pieces of Deadpool 2, Brolin seems to be very excited about what the script has to offer. "There's a lot of stuff going on in [Deadpool 2] that's very surprising and that will be very satisfying when you see it," he previously said. "To me, it's even funnier than the first one... Cable can be very funny. He can be a lot of different things, but he also can be very funny."

Brolin isn't the only notable new addition to Deadpool 2. Atlanta's Zazie Beetz has also joined the cast as a fan favorite mutant, taking on the role of the very lucky Domino. She and Cable will help assist Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool as he faces off against The Strain's Jack Kesy, who many believe will be playing Black Tom, a mutant who can fire concussive blasts using a wooden object and who can manipulate energy through plants. Other new cast members include The Outsiders' Shioli Kutsuna and Hunt for the Wilderpeople's Julian Dennison.

In addition to Reynolds, the movie will also see the return of a few other notable actors from the first flick, including T.J. Miller's Weasel, Morena Baccarin's Vanessa, Brianna Hildebrand's Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Stefan Kapacic's Colossus, Leslie Uggams' Blind Al, and Karan Soni's Dopinder. Leitch takes over as director for Tim Miller, working off a script from the first movie's Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. The movie is set for a June 1, 2018 release.
