The latest updates and spoilers for "Deadpool 2" will feature Ryan Renolds teasing a possible crossover with his character and the Avengers. There are also new pictures from the sequel depicting a younger version of Cable.
It seems that new details for Nathan Summers/Cable in "Deadpool 2" have been revealed online, courtesy of the Twitter page of Universo X-Men. The page posted two new photos of the mutant time traveler, but with a younger face, brown hair, and without his cybernetic eye.
Young Cable teased
Comic book fans know Cable's history as he was spirited away to the future by his father, Cyclops to Mother Askani a.k.a.
the time-displaced Rachel Grey and raised as her own. His birth was carefully orchestrated by Mister SInister to create the perfect mutant weapon against Apocalypse. However, En Sabah Nur discovered his plan and infected the still baby Nathan with a techno-organic virus to kill him. As a result, Nathan had no choice but learn to use his powers to contain his illness.
There are two explanations for the posted photos. First is that "Deadpool 2's" production crew is still filming in Vancouver and these are likely behind-the-scenes pictures. Second, it could be a flashback scene from the movie depicting Cable's early years in his post-apocalyptic timeline.
In addition, there is still the matter of the teddy bear that Cable is carrying around on his utility belt as fans speculated that Hope Summers could be introduced in the sequel, and set up the events of the "X-Force" live-action film.

Wade Wilson wants to join the MCU?
The sequel's lead actor and producer Ryan Reynolds has expressed his interest for Deadpool and the Avengers to crossover in a project.
Despite the fact that both characters are from Marvel Comics, they belong to different movie studios with the "X-Men" franchise still part of 20th Century Fox, while Earth's Mightiest Heroes are featured in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Reynolds told Total Films that he imagined how Wade Wilson will hang out with the Avengers and the conversations they will have, but with a more "rated-R" tone.
"That sounds like a great idea, but a very expensive idea," Reynolds said. "Can you imagine the sh*t-talking contest with Iron Man? Oh, that would be great.
Deadpool became a member of the Avengers in the "All-New, All-Different Marvel" era. He is part of "Avengers Unity Squad" along Rogue, Human Torch, Quicksilver, Synapse, Doctor Voodoo, Wasp, Wonder Man, and Cable.
The success of "Spider-Man: Homecoming" was due to the partnership between Marvel Studios and Sony. Thus, fans are hoping that the film studio could negotiate with Fox to have the X-Men join the MCU for future projects.
"Deadpool 2" will premiere on June 1, 2018.
