To be fair, he’s the only one with “Cable’s friggin hair”.
[dropcap size=small]B[/dropcap]y now it would be safe to assume that the mutant known as Cable is going to be in the next Deadpool movie. At first, only two actors expressed their interest in the role as the time-traveling mutant, with Dolph Lundgren (Rocky IV, The Expendables) and Stephen Lang (Avatar, Terra Nova) taking to social media to show how excited they were at the idea. Now, it seems that Sons of Anarchy and Hellboy star Ron Perlman wants to take on the role.
A few days ago the artist Shaine Schroeder publicly announced his support for Ron Perlman to play Cable in the next Deadpool film after the actor posted a photo to Instagram stating, “Or hair. I’m the only one with #Cable’s friggin HAIR!” showing a side by side photo of Cable from the comics and then a picture of himself. Following this Instagram post, the actor posted a photo to Facebook earlier today saying, “Even my fave artist got into the fray… #ShaineSchroeder.”
Ron Perlman definitely has the same kind of hair as Cable does and to be honest, the conversations between Ron Perlman’s Cable, who would undoubtedly be a no-nonsense kind of character, and Ryan Reynold’s Deadpool would be downright hilarious. I’m sure the two actors could definitely bring the frenemy relationship between the two characters to life, but until Fox Studios and Ryan Reynolds gives the green light we can only imagine what kind of mischief and mayhem Deadpool and Cable will get into.
