20th Century Fox has set Jack Kesy to play a major villain in Deadpool 2. While insiders said it isn’t entirely clear which baddie he will play, sources have pinpointed a character called Black Tom. In the comics, he is a nemesis in the X-Men universe, a Dublin-born mutant who can manipulate, bond with, and project energy through plant life. He is also capable of issuing concussive blasts with a wooden object, usually a shillelagh.

The David Leitch-directed Deadpool 2 is set for release June 1, 2018, with Ryan Reynolds reprising his role as the Merc with the Mouth, and hopes are high after the original grossed $783 million to become the highest-ever-grossing R-rated film worldwide. Josh Brolin has already been set to play the principal villain, Cable. Morena Baccarin is back as Deadpool’s love interest Vanessa, Leslie Uggams as Blind Al, Stefan Kapacic as the metallic Colossus, and Brianna Hildebrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead, perhaps the coolest sounding superhero in the Marvel universe.

Kesy might be best known for playing Gabriel Bollivar in the TV series The Strain, a goth rock star who was one of the early plane passengers infected with the virus that turned them into vampires. He was plenty creepy. He will next be seen in Baywatch, opening for Memorial Day weekend, and the Nicolai Fuglsig-directed ensemble of Horse Soldiers, which stars Chris Hemsworth, Michael Shannon and Michael Pena.

Lock if old.

Black Tom would be a weird pull.

Villain?

Either way, glad Colossus is back.

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

An angry Irish mutant smacking fuckers with a shillelagh?

 

[Parallax]

i wonder if we'll get t-ray or possibly madcap in this

 

[HellforLeather]

Cable is the villain?

Hmm.

Anyway, I think Jack looks like he would be a good fit for

Spoiler

Mr. Sinister

 

[Bobby Roberts]

I thought people were speculating Black Tom is who Pierce Brosnan would be playing after seeing that one set photo?

 

[BronsonLee]

I'm starting to think this movie's gonna underperform tbh

 

[wenis]

I don't know if Black Tom would've been my first pull for villain for Deadpool 2. Odd choice.

Madcap woulda been my first choice, but what can you do.

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

just give me bullseye at some point either in deadpool or daredevil but hes gotta show up damn it

 

[DeviantBoi]

Every time I read "Josh Brolin as Cable", I get disappointed all over again.

 

[Ashhong]

Wait, Cable is the villain?

 

[opricnik]

Josh brolin both playing Thanos and Deadpool at same time?

 

[hank_tree]

Josh brolin both playing Thanos and Deadpool at same time?

Not at the same time. I'm sure they are filming separately.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

Not at the same time. I'm sure they are filming separately.

Plus Thanos is probably going to be mostly CG anyway.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

Yo if it's Black Tom they'd BETTER have Juggernaut.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

please no shillelagh. who am I kidding we all know it's going to be an awful over exaggerated Oirish character

 

[Experien]

Josh brolin both playing Thanos and Deadpool at same time?

Joke post?

Thanos - Marvel
Cable - FOX

Two separate universes.Michael B. Jordan is playing a villain in the Black Panther movie but is Human Torch as well.

I am pretty sure he meant filming both movies at same time.Blue Panther and Human Torch are 2014 and 2018

 

[smokeymicpot]

Not at the same time. I'm sure they are filming separately.

Most of it is probably done already as well.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Black Tom? Huh.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Omg yes Black Tom... please add Juggernaut

 

[Falchion]

Holy shit, I had no clue Cable was going to be the main villain, that's going to be wild.

 

[Deleted member 13876]

Doctor Bong

 

[SocksAndShoes]

Cable as the main villain? I wonder if they're adapting the first arc or so from the Cable and Deadpool run. That would be...interesting.

 

[CocaMantis]

Odd choice. I was hoping to get Taskmaster as the villain.

 

[Anoregon]

Odd choice. I was hoping to get Taskmaster as the villain.

I was actually under the impression Taskmaster fell under Marvel's purview, but I'm not sure.

 

[Hex]

I like Black Tom as an idea, but without Juggs he does not really work.
Unless he has his niece with him maybe?
I am surprised they do not go with Stryfe

 

[Hex]

I was actually under the impression Taskmaster fell under Marvel's purview, but I'm not sure.

He does, but it never stops people from expecting him or wanting him every time any Marvel product movie is made, along with Squirrel Girl.

 

[Astral Dog]

I think the first one was named after a cleaning product

 

[red731]

I think the first one was named after a cleaning product

Gee, I..what was him name again?

 

[fallengorn]

Black Tom? They're going to include Juggernaut right?

 

[Astral Dog]

Gee, I..what was him name again?

Thats it. 😆
New villain has a high bar

 

[Alukus]

No mention of Zazie Beetz as Domino? I guess there isn't much a hype train for her or the character

 

[kirblar]

This is supposed to be coming out a year from now?

Kinda seems like a delay is inevitable here, no?

 

[LucidMomentum]

Cable as the villain. God yes.

 

[bengraven]

Would be awesome only if we get a comics accurate Juggernaut.

Would love to see Colossus vs Juggs onscreen.

 

[Phamit]

This is better than the dude and the mean woman from the first one I guess

 

[Insane Metal]

Who?
