  2. Michael Shannon would play a great Cable. The actor doesn’t have to already look like the character to play them, that’s the point of acting.

  3. I know some of you said Ron Perlman, and you are allowed to have an opinion, but you’re opinion is wrong. Stephen Lang is the correct choice.

  6. dolph lundgren should play cable , he is bigger and have more of the features of cable than Michael Shannon

  8. ah dang it it, who played the old dude from don’t breathe. I think he was in avatar also (the lead military dude) but I think that dude would make a great cable. but then again I could be totally wrong

  9. Michael Shannon is NOT THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR CABLE. I respect Shannon as an actor and don’t doubt his ability to play this character. Regardless of that there are other candidates that can bring more authenticity to the role of CABLE. The obvious choice is STEPHEN LANG. Look back at all the comics and source material, Stephen Lang is like an exact clone of CABLE from the comic books. Plus the fact that he’s already ripped and in great shape plus a sharp comedic wit, there is hands down no better actor to play this character alongside Ryan Reynold’s Deadpool. If Marvel and their casting team cannot see what a perfect pairing these actors are, they are truly incompetent at their jobs.
