There will be more exciting action in "Deadpool 2" as it was confirmed another "X-men" character will be part of the sequel. Cable from the X-men universe was already hinted during the end of the first installment, but it looks like the character is going to figure in the next story in a big way.
"Deadpool's" producers and screen writers, Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, confirmed the return of Nathan Summers, also known as Cable, for "Deadpool 2." "Yeah, we're on that path," Wernick told Indiewire. "We teased him in the coda, we're sticking to those plans and are having a great time writing."
Having Cable in the sequel could also mean introducing the female mercenary Domino in "Deadpool 2." The X-men character is Cable's love interest in the comic books series, per Heroic Hollywood. Keira Knightly portrayed Domino in the movie with the same name in 2005.
