Deadpool 2: Cable Actor Josh Brolin Trolls Ryan Reynolds

Deadpool shouldn't take Cable lightly.

Josh Brolin is preparing for his role as Cable in Deadpool 2 the best way he knows how, by trolling Ryan Reynolds.

Brolin shared a pair of pre-production photos on Instagram where the actor is undergoing prep for the make-up and prosthetics he will require in the sequel. Some of the hashtags he used (uh, "#ryanreyondsismybitch"...) indicates that Deadpool shouldn't be taking the grumpy time-traveling mutant (and son of Cyclops in the comics) lightly. Check out the photos below.

After several actors were rumored for the role of Cable, Brolin was cast as the mutant and signed a four-film deal with Fox to play the character. The four-picture deal will most likely extend beyond Deadpool-centric films, as X-Men series producer and writer Simon Kinberg has said that both Deadpool and Cable will appear in the planned X-Force movie.

Brolin is also playing Thanos, the main villain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and upcoming Avengers: Infinity War. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige recently spoke about Brolin playing two different comic book characters for two different studios.
