“I’ll check with my bookkeeper”: Josh Brolin Opens Up About Whether or Not Deadpool and Wolverine Will See Cable Returning
The excitement surrounding the release of Deadpool and Wolverine is soaring to new heights every day. The third movie in the anti-hero franchise will follow the two titular characters’ adventures as they travel through the multiverse. During the Super Bowl, Marvel released the movie’s trailer, increasing fans’ expectations manifold. We are left with the hope that Marvel comes through this time and delivers a project that gets the studio back on top.
Will Cable be Returning in Deadpool and Wolverine?
Deadpool 2 introduced us to a new villain called Cable, who wanted to get back to his family. He could travel through time to find a world where he could save his family from being killed. However, there was another villain in the movie named Russell, who went on to form a team of killer mutants to protect himself and destroy a facility that inflicted harm on young mutants.

Played by Josh Brolin, Cable soon became one of the favorite characters from the franchise, given his hilarious rapport with Deadpool and broody personality. As the actor has been on tour to promote his upcoming film Dune: Part Two, he has been asked incessantly to address his appearance in the Deadpool flick.
Initially, in an interview with Collider, Brolin was asked about his role in Deadpool and Wolverine after websites released set images from the movie. The images showed a few characters from Deadpool’s universe that should have been a surprise for the audience. Addressing his appearance in the movie, he said,
“No. I don’t know. Because Ryan [Reynolds] doesn’t like me? I don’t know… Maybe.”
Understandably, Brolin is keeping mum about his involvement in the project since Marvel likes to keep surprises under wraps. Moreover, the studio signs contracts with actors to stop them from giving out spoilers to the fans. He was asked the same question when he appeared on Good Morning America recently. The hosts spoke about his upcoming projects, to which Brolin jokingly said that he was in every movie releasing in the coming year. Specifically talking about Deadpool and Wolverine, he stated,
“Sure. I don’t know. I’ll check with my bookkeeper. I can’t say anything. Yes. No. Maybe … I think it’s gonna be a good movie though.”
As the threequel will feature Deadpool traveling through the multiverse, fans have been curious whether Brolin will return as Cable in Deadpool and Wolverine. It will make sense if they meet Cable, too, since the character enabled Deadpool to go back in time and correct some mistakes, possibly the event that flagged him at the Time Variance Authority.
Cast of Deadpool and Wolverine
Marvel is going all in with Deadpool and Wolverine, a movie they have put their faith in to restructure and redefine the MCU. The movie’s performance will impact all the upcoming projects by Marvel since it will give the universe a new direction. Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are set to reprise their roles as the titular characters. Other actors previously seen in Deadpool movies, including Morena Baccarin, Brianna Hildebrand, Stefan Kapicic, and Shioli Kutsuna, will also be returning.
On the other hand, a few new faces will enter the MCU with Matthew Macfadyen as Mr. Paradox. The Crown fame, Emma Corrin will take center stage with their antagonistic character. They are rumored to play Cassandra Nova, a strong villain who wishes to bring the multiverse down to its knees.
Deadpool and Wolverine is set to release theatrically on July 26, 2024.
