David Harbour could appear as Cable in “Deadpool 2”.

According to “The Wrap,” the “Stranger Things” star is in talks for the role of time-traveling mutant Cable in the upcoming “Deadpool” sequel.

“Stranger Things star David Harbour is being considered for the role of Cable in 20th Century Fox’s Deadpool 2,” they revealed. “The source also said Fox auditioned the actor, who plays Chief Jim Hopper in the Netflix phenomenon, for the role of the time-traveling mutant in the upcoming sequel to the hit film.”

Of course, David Harbour is best known today for his role as small-town police chief Jim Hopper in Stranger Things… but he’s no stranger to the big screen either, having appeared in films such as Brokeback Mountain, Quantum of Solace, and even the dark noir crime thriller A Walk Among the Tombstones.

He even appeared in a comic book movie.

That’s right – he was Scanlon in the recent Green Hornet movie.

“Casting is ongoing and Harbour doesn’t have the job yet, but he has screen tested with Reynolds and is definitely one of the actors being considered for the role,” adds Collider. “Sources tell us that Michael Shannon was previously in the running for the role of Cable, but he is no longer in the running due to scheduling issues.”

Will David Harbour end up playing Cable? For now, we’ll have to wait and see. But I firmly believe he’s a pretty solid choice.

In “Deadpool 2” Ryan Reynolds plays Wade Wilson.

The film is directed by David Leitch from a screenplay by Drew Goddard, Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick.

“Deadpool 2” will be in theaters on March 2, 2018.
