Deadpool co-creator Rob Liefeld recently confirmed a long-standing rumor that Brad Pitt was going to play Cable in Deadpool 2 before Josh Brolin was cast.Speaking with ComicBook.com on its Collectibles Show, the comic book writer/artist explained why the A-list actor ultimately ended up playing the minor role of Vanisher instead of Cable in the well-received sequel to 2016’s Deadpool. “I know for 100% fact that was true,” Liefeld said about the rumor that Pitt was the first choice for Cable. “They did previews, and David Leitch had a very special relationship doing stunt work with [Pitt]. What people don’t know is that was very early on. So when they knew they weren’t going in that direction, they went down several others.”Released in 2018, Deadpool 2 follows the titular Merc with a Mouth (Ryan Reynolds) as he forms the X-Force to protect a young mutant, Russell Collins/Firefist (Julien Dennison), from Cable. The superhero sequel was a critical and commercial success, outgrossing its predecessor and becoming the highest-grossing R-rated film at the time. The DC film, Joker, would eventually eclipse Deadpool 2’s worldwide box office total in 2019.
