New photos from the set of Deadpool 2's production are offering a look at Zazie Beetz's Domino and Josh Brolin's Cable in a sequence which appears to bring the two characters together for a team up.

20th Century Fox releasing the first look at Domino and first look at Cable when they did was no mistake. In the immediate aftermath of the photos surfacing online via Deadpool star and executive producer Ryan Reynolds' social media accounts, several days of production have seen the characters being photographed on outdoor sets.

The most recent batch of photos from production are available on Just Jared by clicking here.

Also featured in the photos is a stunt double for Brolin's role, indicating action sequences for the scene, but more noteworthy is the motion capture sleeve both Brolin and the double are wearing. Just one day after the character's appearance was revealed, a behind-the-scenes look shows off how the production team is mastering the visual effects of Cable's metal arm.

In the Marvel Comics universe, Cable is a master tactician raised in a dystopian future who travels back in time to prevent the rise of Apocalypse. He has a long history with Deadpool, and the two are frequently paired together with Cable playing the straight man to Deadpool's zaniness.

David Leitch (John Wick) will direct the sequel, taking over for original Deadpool director Tim Miller. Ryan Reynolds will return as Wade Wilson, a.k.a. Deadpool, the Merc with a Mouth. For the sequel, he'll be joined by Josh Brolin as Cable. Cable was co-created by Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld and Louise Simonson. He has often been paired with Deadpool as his grim, serious demeanor serves as the perfect foil to Deadpool's crude and zany humor. The duo headlined an ongoing comic book series, Cable & Deadpool, for 50 issues.

Atlanta star Zazie Beetz has also been cast in Deadpool 2. She will play Domino, a mutant with probability manipulation abilities that endows her with improbably good luck. In the Marvel Comics Universe, Domino was a member of Cable's mercenary crew, Six Pack, and one of his early love interests.

Jack Kesy has been cast in an undisclosed villain role, speculated to be Black Tom Cassidy. Shioli Kutsuna has also joined the production in an undisclosed "key" role.

Deadpool 2 opens in theaters on June 1, 2018.
