Deadpool 2 gets another new poster, major character rumoured to have been cut

April 7, 2018 by Amie Cranswick

With less than six weeks to go until the release of Deadpool 2, another international poster has arrived online for the hotly-anticipated sequel featuring Ryan Reynold’s Merc with a Mouth; check it out here…

Meanwhile, it seems that Fox and director David Leitch may have decided to remove a major character from the sequel, with Jeff Sneider of The Tracking Board claiming on Meet the Movie Press that Jack Kesy (The Strain) has been cut from the movie. Kesy had been cast as the main villain, rumoured to be the character of Black Tom, and Sneider has stated that: “I heard he got cut from the movie. I don’t know if we’re going to be seeing Jack Kesy in Deadpool 2. We’ll see.”

After surviving a near fatal bovine attack, a disfigured cafeteria chef (Wade Wilson) struggles to fulfill his dream of becoming Mayberry’s hottest bartender while also learning to cope with his lost sense of taste. Searching to regain his spice for life, as well as a flux capacitor, Wade must battle ninjas, the yakuza, and a pack of sexually aggressive canines, as he journeys around the world to discover the importance of family, friendship, and flavor – finding a new taste for adventure and earning the coveted coffee mug title of World’s Best Lover.

Deadpool 2 sees David Leitch (John Wick) directing a cast that includes returning stars Ryan Reynolds (Wade Wilson), Morena Baccarin (Vanessa), T.J. Miller (Weasel), Brianna Hildebrand (Negasonic Teenage Warhead), Stefan Kapicic (Colossus), Leslie Uggams (Blind Al) and Karan Soni (Dopinder) alongside new additions Zazie Beetz (Atlanta) as Domino, Josh Brolin (Avengers: Infinity War) as Cable, Jack Kesy (The Strain) as the film’s villain, and Shioli Kutsuna (The Outsider), Eddie Marsan (Atomic Blonde), Julian Dennison (Hunt for the Wilderpeople) and Terry Crews (Brooklyn Nine-Nine) in as-yet-unrevealed roles. It is set for release on May 15th 2018 in the UK and May 18th in North America.
