'Deadpool 2' Concept Art Shows Off Early Look at Cable's Cybernetics

Deadpool 2 brought a beloved Marvel Comics character to the big screen, and now we have an idea of what that almost looked like.

Bill Corso, who served as a makeup artist on both Deadpool films, recently shared several photos of a 3D prop that was created for Cable's (Josh Brolin) metal arm. You can check them out below.

As Corso explains, this 3D prop ultimately differed from what was shown in Deadpool 2, particularly with the "diseased" color of the skin and the lighting underneath the arm. But still, diehard fans of the franchise will surely appreciated seeing where things started out.

For Brolin, stepping into the role of the metal-armed rogue proved to be challenging, especially compared to his time on Avengers: Infinity War.

"Even though there's a movement coach [on Avengers: Infinity War], and Terry Notary who is a great movement coach who is really good friends with Andy Serkis and that whole thing that they did in the mo-cap thing." Brolin explained to ComicBook.com earlier this year. "That was great but I didn't have to be in great shape. There were cheat days every day. Then we got into [Deadpool 2], and I was still doing Avengers, and I remember seeing Dave Bautista in Gold's Gym and he's looked at me and he goes, 'What happened to you? What'd you do?'. Which was like the greatest compliment, the great kudos you would get!"

Thankfully, Brolin and his metal arm will hopefully be back on the big screen once again, with the actor being pretty excited about his future as Cable.

"He said, 'Rob, I'm really excited about my arc, I'm really excited about what my character goes.'" Deadpool and Cable creator Rob Liefeld told ComicBook.com at San Diego Comic-Con. "People then go, 'What did he say?' I don't pry further. He just told me that he's really excited about X-Force and he's really excited about what his character does, and really excited about revisiting Cable, and he feels that Cable has a bigger arc. And that's what I was told, and I didn't dig any deeper, I'll take him at his word."
