Deadpool And Wolverine: Why Were Cable And Domino Left Out Of Third Movie? Explained

As a dedicated follower and ardent admirer of Marvel movies, I must say that the absence of Zazie Beetz’s Domino and Josh Brolin’s Cable from Deadpool & Wolverine has left me feeling like a piece of my collection is missing – much like how Deadpool feels when he loses one of his precious unicorn horns.


Recently, there’s been much chatter revolving around the older Marvel films, particularly those involving Deadpool and Wolverine, since they’ve been replaced. The absence of Cable and Domino from Deadpool 2 has sparked curiosity, as their future roles in the Marvel Universe remain undecided.

As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but find intriguing the mystery surrounding Zazie Beetz’s character, Domino, who was conspicuously absent in recent Deadpool productions. It was in Deadpool 2 where we were introduced to this luck-manipulating mutant, who swiftly endeared herself to audiences as a beloved member of Ryan Reynolds’ Wade Wilson-led X-Force team. By the end of the 2018 sequel, it appeared that Demirsky’s Domino was all set for future Deadpool adventures.

Due to financial limitations, her current prominence in Joker and Atlanta productions, and the potential hassle of having her return for a brief appearance, it seems that her involvement has been temporarily ruled out. Her character would’ve had a role similar to the rest of the Deadpool family on Earth-10005, if she were to be included.

In an interview with Decider, she admitted that she won’t be part of Deadpool 3, leaving her unsure about their improvisation plans. Given the situation, it seems they might be taking a break. Despite her eagerness to play Domino in a standalone film since as early as 2021 and initial hopes for discussions regarding this, unfortunately, nothing materialized. She remains excited to see how Deadpool 3 turns out.

As a lifestyle expert, I must admit that one of the aspects I eagerly look forward to when it comes to blockbuster films like Deadpool and Wolverine is the portrayal of intriguing characters such as Josh Brolin’s Cable. Known for his rich, layered backstory and commanding presence, Cable was a character that left many fans anticipating his potential return in some form.

Throughout the movie, Deadpool humorously comments on the absence of Cable, often breaking the fourth wall to do so. He jokingly compares Cable to an unpopular character in a way that suggests he’s making light of the situation rather than being serious. This leaves viewers curious about why Cable wasn’t included in the film, whether due to storyline or scheduling reasons. It’s worth noting that all Marvel films have budget constraints and may prioritize other characters, reducing screen time for others like Cable, making it challenging to reintroduce him without significant plot implications.

Josh Brolin about his character omission from Deadpool & Wolverine

During an interview with Collider, Josh Brolin playfully addressed the absence of his character in the movie Deadpool & Wolverine. When asked if he would feature in Deadpool 3 and why not otherwise, Brolin jokingly stated that he wasn’t in it and didn’t know why. He even subtly suggested, perhaps with a sly grin, that maybe Ryan Reynolds doesn’t appreciate him all that much. It seems likely, given his teasing tone and direct gaze at the camera, that these remarks were intended to be taken tongue-in-cheek.

In an interview with IndieWire, one of the writers of the movie, Paul Wernick, justified their choice by stating it was intentional rather than incorrect. He clarified that the film stayed faithful to characters from Fox’s Marvel universe who hadn’t received proper recognition before, and since Brolin played Cable in Deadpool 2, there was no need for another appearance. Wernick hinted at potential future appearances of Cable in the Fox-Marvel shared universe, but for this film, Brolin wasn’t required for the casting.

It appears Josh Brolin handles setbacks gracefully. In an interview with Mike DeAngelo on the Bingeworthy Podcast, Brolin expressed his disappointment about not being involved in a specific film. However, his name does show up on IMDb for Deadpool & Wolverine. During his Marvel journey, he shared that he really wanted to be part of that movie but acknowledged the MCU can be intricate and confusing.

As an ardent admirer, I’m sharing what Tim Miller, the creator of Outer Range on Prime Video, expressed about Marvel’s intricate labyrinth compared to his work in that series. He confessed that he wasn’t entirely certain about his role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), but one thing was undeniable – he thoroughly enjoyed portraying Cable. It was a “pure delight” for him, a statement that might leave fans a tad disappointed as it implies less chance of seeing Brolin reprise his role as Cable in the Deadpool & Wolverine series. However, his openness to return later offers a glimmer of hope for future projects.
