Deadpool comic book creator Rob Liefeld has confirmed the rumors around Brad Pitt’s original Deadpool 2 role.
Speaking with Comicbook.com on its Collectibles Show, Liefeld was asked about the rumors that Pitt was originally eyed to play Cable in Deadpool 2, and the comic book creator confirmed they were true. Check out the full quote below:
“I know for 100% fact that was true. 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 early on. So when they knew they weren’t going in that direction, they went down several others.”
