Today on Meet the Movie Press, Jeff Sneider reported that Jack Kesy may have been cut from Deadpool 2.
Deadpool 2 will reunite audiences with the merc with the mouth and introduce audiences to new mutants in the X-Men universe such as Cable, portrayed by Josh Brolin. But one character portrayed by Jack Kesy may not appear in the theatrical release. On Meet the Movie Press, Tracking Board’s Jeff Sneider revealed that Jack Kesy, who was cast as the villainous Black Tom Cassidy, may have been cut from the film:
“I heard he got cut from the movie. […] I don’t know if we’re gonna be seeing Jack Kesy in Deadpool 2. We’ll see.”
While some fans may be disappointed it may not come as a surprise given the fact from the recent trailer it was heavily hinted Cable could be the main antagonist for the majority of the movie and the reason that X-Force is formed by Deadpool.
