Fans got their first and second looks at Josh Brolin as Cable in Deadpool 2 yesterday, and at least a few felt like he resembles a certain hot-headed celebrity chef.

A fan on Twitter noted that Cable in Deadpool 2 looks a bit like Gordon Ramsay. Ramsay noticed the Tweet and jokingly responded by saying that it was shot from the 37th season of Hell's Kitchen on Fox.

Cable is a tough character, but Ramsay is no slouch. He may be able to hold his own in a dystopian future.

Brolin's Cable is debuting after being teased in the post-credits seen in the first Deadpool movie. 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.

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.
