Is Josh Brolin the New Favorite Face of Marvel?

In recent news on who won Hollywood's next coolest movie role, Josh Brolin just landed Cable in Deadpool 2. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the search for the perfect actor had gone on for months. The role nearly went to Michael Shannon with Stranger Things actor David Harbour hot on his heels.
Brolin appeared to come in as an eleventh hour contender for the role (although he already played Thanos, a well-known Marvel Comics villain, in The Avengers movies). The Hollywood Reporter claims he's slated to carry the role through four upcoming Marvel films.
Both Cable and Deadpool were created for Marvel Comics by Rob Liefeld in the early '90s where they were part of the New Mutants group, and later members of the X-Force. They also had a comic series together called Cable & Deadpool which ran from 2004 to 2008. Needless to say it was about time for Cable to join the plucky anti-hero.
