Josh Brolin’s Response About His Potential Return in Deadpool & Wolverine
During his recent appearance on Good Morning America, Josh Brolin talked about his potential return as Cable in Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman’s highly anticipated film Deadpool & Wolverine.

When asked if fans would be seeing him in the upcoming threequel, the 56-year-old actor said, “Sure,” before quickly adding, “I don’t know…I’ll check with my bookkeeper.” Stumbling on his words, the Dune star further shared that he can’t say anything.
Adding to the ambiguity, he said, “I’m in every movie coming out in the next year—small parts but you know I don’t know.” Although the actor couldn’t state clearly if he’s reprising his role as Cable in the upcoming threequel, Brolin did assure that Deadpool & Wolverine would be a good movie.
This is not the first time, the actor has shared some cryptic insights into his potential return in the upcoming threequel.
