In an interview with Empire Online, Deadpool’s director, Tim Miller, talked about how they came to using Negasonic Teenage Warhead over everyone else they could have used. In the interview, he mentioned, “We thought about Cannonball, but he would’ve been a stupid hick character, whereas the guys wrote Negasonic as this deadpan goth teen, which was a great angle.”

He also mentioned before that, in the third act, they had “Garrison Kane in there for a while, but in the final round of budget cuts we had to take him out, because he was a pretty expensive dude. He’s got these bionic arms that change shape.”

So, they’ve gone through Garrison Kane and Cannonball, and presumably a whole list of other characters. Then he got down to talking about the sequel, saying, “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.”

First of all, Deadpool 2? Is he joking or are they already talking sequels over at Fox? With a trailer that looks as good as this one, created by giant fans of the source material and given creative license by the studio, it’d be a surprise if the film was totally off and terrible. A sequel seems inevitable.

And Cable? CABLE? We might actually get Cable on the big screen? The Techno-organic arm, the gunplay, the glowing yellow eye and telekinesis… would he be from the future? Would he be the son of Jean Grey and Scott Summers? Would he have an evil clone of him named Stryfe?

AND, will he lead the New Mutants or X-Force against Deadpool???

There’s just too much to get excited about here. It’s an amazing time to be a nerd.
