Will Cable Appear In The MCU To Fight Kang the Conquerer? Will Cable Appear In The MCU To Fight Kang the Conquerer? 9 hours ago Remember back when Deadpool teased the live-action debut of Cable back in 2016? The casting of the time-traveling, gray-haired, one-eyed mutant became a good topic for discussion, but when Josh Brolin got the role, fans went nuts. This is probably due to the fact that he was also playing Thanos. What was really bonkers was that he played both characters in the same year. Avengers: Infinity War in April and Deadpool 2 in May, back-to-back months and both movies received stellar reviews and killed it at the box office. And even though it wasn’t a comic book movie, Sicario: Day of the Soldado was another movie with Josh Brolin at the helm. 2018 was basically his year.
