Disney’s D23 Expo has been in full swing all weekend providing fans with plenty to talk about for the weeks to come or maybe just until Comic-Con later this week. Josh Brolin was on hand for the Marvel panel where he and about 1/3 of the cast ofAvengers: Infinity Warintroduced the world premiere footage of said movie to a crowd of around 7,000 fans that nearly lost their minds when they figured out what they were witnessing. After the panel Brolin and the rest of the team did some press to talk aboutInfinity Warand the actor took a break from all theAvengersmadness to talk about his role as Cable inDeadpool 2.
Brolin sat down withGood Morning Americato talk about his role as the villainous Thanos in the upcomingAvengers: Infinity War. Questions inevitably went toDeadpool 2where Brolin was happy to answer a few questions without giving anything away. The interview comes to us viaGood Morning America’s official Twitteraccount where Brolin sheds some light on his reasoning behind taking on the role and how the sequel might even be funnier than the original. Brolin explains.
“To me, it’s even funnier than the first one. When they asked me to do it, I was like ‘I’mdoing the Thanos thingright now, and should I do it?’ And my wife just said ‘Read it. Why are you even thinking? Just read it.’ And I read it and I laughed harder than I’ve laughed in a very long time. So it’s funny. Cable can be very funny. He can be a lot of things, but he can also be very funny.”
In addition,Josh Brolinwas asked about whether Cablebreaks the 4th wallin the movie likeDeadpooldoes. Specifically, he was asked if he talks about Thanos in the movie and he had to think about it before saying no, that Thanos had not been brought up and he probably won’t. As Brolin already stated, Cable “can be a lot of things, but he can also be very funny.” Brolin went on to say that the movie will contain some surprises that should satisfy long time fans. He says this.
“Not yet, but I may. It’s not that I don’t break the fourth wall. There’s a lot of stuff going on inDeadpoolthat’s very surprising, and that will be very satisfying when you see it.”
Production started a few weeks ago forDeadpool 2in Vancouver, B.C. and Brolin has bulked up for the movie with a strict diet and gym regiment. The effects of the lifestyle change were clear when the actor posed for pictures with the Infinity Gauntlet at the D23 Expo, showcasing his new buff dude physique. Not much is clear about a specific plot forDeadpool 2yet, but one we do know is that it willset up X-Forcewith the inclusion of Cable and Domino.
Deadpool 2is scheduled to hit theaters on June 1st, 2018, which is a risk on Fox’s part, but the success of the first movie just may have set up a summer blockbuster. Plans for the sequel began even before the release of the first movie and is being directed by David Leitch with a script written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick.Deadpool 2 is being shotright now.
