Deadpool 2's Cable has arrived in these first images, complete with giant gun and teddy bear
Deadpool 2's triumvirate of anti-heroes is complete. Ryan Reynolds hopped onto his Twitter account to casually share the first two pictures of Josh Brolin as time-traveling cyborg mercenary Cable, following up his reveal of Domino from last week.

Glowing eye? Check. Giant gun? Check. Liefeld pouches? Check. Battered teddy bear? Che-whahuh? It could be some kind of weaponized plush ordnance system. But it's more likely another nod toward Hope, the prophesied mutant messiah whom Cable acts a surrogate father for in the comics. Hope's name was scrawled on the window of a phone booth in the Deadpool 2 teaser from Logan. Expect to hear more about her soon; we still don't know what Deadpool 2's actually about yet, after all.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and now I'm a staff writer here at GamesRadar.
