After Ryan Reynolds posted a photo of himself, Hugh Jackman, and Pierce Brosnan on Instagram, speculation began. Pierce Brosnan together with Wolverine and Deadpool lead to many believing that Brosnan could be Cable. That speculation evolved into more credible rumors once other outlets started reporting the same. The team over at East Coast Movie Guys reinforced the rumor stating that this release “coincidentally” lined up with a casting announcement timeline they received from an inside source.
