\"\"With his role in Stranger Things<\/strong>, David Harbour has become a darling of the comic book convention circuit. However, if the latest Deadpool 2 <\/strong>rumor pans out, he might have a permanent place there.<\/p>\n

The Wrap <\/a>is reporting that Harbour is the latest actor to be considered for the part of Cable, the time-travelling mutant who is set to appear in the sequel. Sources say he has already done a screen test for the role, although neither Harbour nor the studio could be reached to verify this information.<\/p>\n

Harbour joins other actors such as Mel Gibson, Stephen Lang, Kyle Chandler<\/a>, Pierce Brosnan and, apparently, Michael Shannon <\/a>in the list of potential Cables. Fox would want to find the right actor to play the character, as Cable would most likely be one of the characters in the studio’s X-Force <\/strong>film. The character is quite popular in the comic books and if that translates over to film, it could mean a stand-alone spin-off film as well.<\/p>\n

While Harbour might seem like an overnight success, he has spend years working on Broadway and in Hollywood. He appeared in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf <\/strong>on the Great White Way with Kathleen Turner and earned a Tony nomination in the process. In film, he has played increasingly bigger roles in movies such as War of the Worlds<\/strong>, Brokeback Mountain<\/strong>, Quantum of Solace, Revolutionary Road <\/strong>and End of Watch<\/strong>. <\/strong>He’s no stranger to superheroes either, having played D.A. Frank Scanlon in The Green Hornet<\/strong> and government official Dexter Tolliver in last year’s Suicide Squad<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Full disclosure – My wife’s family is friendly with his family. His parents were at our wedding but he wasn’t able to come. That being said, we have never met\u00a0in person, but I have a rooting interest in his success. And I think he’d be great in this role. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The STRANGER THINGS and SUICIDE SQUAD actor might be adding DEADPOOL 2 to his resume. <\/div>\n
