Cable's History Will Be Simplified in 'Deadpool 2'

The second Deadpool movie has its work cut out for it, introducing fan-favorite characters Cable and Domino to the movie franchise in one fell swoop. As if introducing two big characters (both from Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld) into movie continuity wasn't enough of a task, one of them comes with an exceptionally elaborate backstory to explain to movie audiences.

"Look, I think besides all of the Deadpool, sort of the film universe Deadpool, you kind of have to be selective of like how you approach these characters because there's a canon of work that's so massive that you could never put it all on screen," Leitch said during an interview with ScreenRant. "So we've been really particular what we're going to put in and what we'e going to leave for potential future if it goes that way and, uh, I think you'll like it. It's all in the spirit of canon, and also in the spirit of like what Deadpool the movie is."
