Watch: the Deadpool sequel’s new trailer unleashes Josh Brolin’s Cable

Deadpool’s Cable guy has arrived.

The third teaser for the still-untitled sequel to the 2016 hit dropped on Wednesday and gave us the first footage of Cable (Josh Brolin), the gun-toting, menacing mutant with a metal arm who will presumably serve as Deadpool’s (probably less comedic) foil. There’s an excellent sequence — complete with armored guards — showing just what kind of fighting carnage Cable is capable of.

In addition to Cable, the trailer also includes a couple of quick cuts featuring Domino and Negasonic Teenage Warhead. And in true Deadpool fashion, there’s an irreverent interlude featuring Deadpool fooling around with a Cable action figure.

This is the third promo for the Deadpool sequel that its studio, 20th Century Fox, has released so far. Last year, in March, the first promo played in theaters before showings of the studio’s Wolverine movie Logan. That first glimpse of the movie was light on details and heavy on butts, murder, and humor — it was just Deadpool clumsily changing in a phone booth, à la Superman, while the person he was planning to help was murdered.

What made Deadpool such a surprise hit when it debuted in 2016 was not just how irreverent and vulgar it was, but also a decade-long struggle to get Fox to make the film in the first place. Fans of the comic book character were more than excited for the film’s release, and it ended up making $783 million worldwide.

The Deadpool sequel is scheduled to hit theaters on June 1, 2018.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
