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.
