After taking part in a Television Critics Association panel for ABC, X-MEN film producer and writer Simon Kinberg<\/strong> gave Slash Film<\/a> an update on the status of many projects within 20th Century Fox’s mutant universe.<\/p>\n \u201cI think Deadpool 2 will comment on anything that\u2019s happening in movies today especially in superhero movies. The sort of glut or saturation of these movies and the proliferation of sequels is definitely something we\u2019ll play around with.\u201d<\/p>\n Kinberg confirmed that Cable<\/a> has not yet been cast. The role caught the interest of ‘Avatar’ actor Stephen Lang, who revealed that he wouldn’t be in the running (if he ever even was) due to scheduling conflicts. \u201cI\u2019ve seen rumors from about everybody from Arnold Schwarzenegger to I can\u2019t even remember,\u201d Kinberg said. We haven\u2019t cast him is the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI think the truth is when you have these movies that need a very special and unique tone, it takes a little while to find that tone,\u201d Kinberg explained. \u201cDeadpool feels like it exploded out of nowhere but it was a ten-year development process on that movie. I think it was honed over those ten years. I hope that Gambit doesn\u2019t take ten years but it takes a little honing to get that tone and that voice exactly right. The character has such a specific voice in the comic in the same way that Deadpool has a specific voice in the comic, that we want to make sure that we capture that voice on the page. Really it\u2019s just about getting a screenplay that is worthy of that character and I think we\u2019re really close right now.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m a lifer for the X-Men movies. I\u2019m just working now, without giving anything away, I\u2019m figuring out what the next of the mainline X-Men movies is going to be.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cActually Legion came out of a conversation that Noah and I had when I was in Moscow for the release of Days of Future Past. Noah was somebody I really admired and we were talking about doing X-Men TV shows. We had a bunch of different ideas. Legion wasn\u2019t one of them and Noah said to me, \u2018I want to do Breaking Bad in the superhero world. I want to actually tell the story about the origin of essentially a villain.\u2019 It evolved from there and became Legion.\u201d<\/p>\nDEADPOOL 2<\/a><\/h1>\n
