2. Stephen Lang

Besides the fact that Stephen Lang would do a great job playing Cable, the actor has already shown interest for the character. He already knows who Cable is and he think it’s cool.

In an interview for Screenrant, Lang explained how he found out about Cable. “One of boys mentioned to me – he says, ‘Hey pops, they’re talking about you for Cable,’ and I said ‘Who would that be?’ and so he Googled him for me and I saw him and I thought ‘Oh wow, he’s cool,” he revealed.

Asked if he would like to play the role of the mutant, Lang replied “Yes, I’m there. [Laughter] Sure, why not. I’d be happy to. You read it all, everything that comes across. And if it makes sense, if it’s a cool character, if it’s a theme you want to explore…sure.”

Well, the man is a fan favorite, fits the role and he would love to play Cable. What more can we ask for?
