Deadpool 2 Hopes to Include Cable

If Deadpool is fortunate enough to get a sequel then the powers-that-be already know they want to use in it: Cable.

As director Tim Miller told Empire, "There aren’t really many definitive Deadpool villains, apart from Cable. If we don’t put Cable in Deadpool 2 I think we’ll be run out of town on a rail."

Meanwhile, Birth.Movies.Death cites a 20th Century Fox insider who informs them that this the sequel idea the studio is most keen on.

But, as the site cautions, "anything could change between now and pre-production, but this is the current thinking at Fox: they believe Deadpool is a hit and that Cable should join him onscreen."

Game of Thrones: 6 Ways [You Know Who] Could Return

Obviously there are tons of spoilers in here for Game of Thrones. Specifically the end of Season 5. 

Almost immediately following the gut-wrenching, soul-collapsing final scene of Game of Thrones' Season 5 finale, fan theory on the interwebz went into overdrive. HE couldn't be dead. It couldn't end like this. Not for HIM.

Game of Thrones: What We Know About Season 6

The Strain: Corey Stoll is Losing the Wig

The strigoi might be increasing in number, form and terror during the second season of FX's The Strain, but the residents of New York City haven't quite honed in on the terror just yet. At least that was the concern from reporters during the summer 2015 TCA (Television Critics Association) summer press tour in Los Angeles.

Showrunner Carlton Cuse, co-creators Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan, and actors Corey Stoll, David Bradley, Mia Maestro and Kevin Durand took to the stage on Friday to chat all things vampires. "There is not full scale social demise yet - that happens throughout the show," Cuse explained when reporters wondered about contrasting bloody scenes with ribbon-cuttings and nights out at the batting cages. "It's willful denial and people are trying to go about their lives in New York. It’s kind of a mixed bag at this point."

New Characters, Details About Star Wars: Shattered Empire

Writer Greg Rucka has shared more details about the main protagonists of the comic Star Wars: Shattered Empire.

Newsarama reports that even though the teaser artwork prominently featured the familiar major characters from the original trilogy, they aren't the focus for the comic. Instead, it will feature two new Rebellion fighters, a married couple named Kes and Shara Bey.
