Deadpool 2 will simplify Cable's "convoluted origin."

While speaking with Collider, Deadpool 2 writers Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese discussed how difficult it is to bring Cable to the big screen mainly due to his complicated storyline.

Wernick and Reese promise to stay true to the character and "make him like he is in the comics," but they're also looking at the actor who'll be playing Cable for inspiration, as "that decision will greatly impact his cadences, his rhythms."

Reese and Wernick explained they'll probably leave a lot of the details out from Cable's origins, like cloning, and instead focus on what specifically makes the character interesting and loved.

"I think we’re going to distill him down to his essence," Wernick told Collider. "It will be authentic and faithful, but it’s not going to include the 18,000 details," he said.

Reese and Wrenick also revealed that several Deadpool characters will be returning for the sequel, including Dopinder the taxi driver.

Deadpool director Tim Miller reportedly left the sequel over his Cable casting choice, who was Bloodline and Friday Night Lights star Kyle Chandler.
