I don’t even know if Matt knew I was directing the movie at the time.” “The Matt one came from Ryan just having dinner with Matt and he was telling him about the gag and was like, ‘Would you want to do it?’ It was that simple. Indeed, Reynolds merely asked Damon to make a cameo while they were having dinner: He’s such a gentleman, and such a funny, charming human being, and probably the biggest movie star on earth. It took him longer to drink the coffee that he requested as payment than to shoot the cameo. And he said, yes and the next thing you know he came and shot for about seven minutes. Then just having him show up for eight frames of footage, I guess Brad found that funny, we all found that funny. I just wrote him a letter and explained what it was we were doing and the sort of premise behind it was, ‘What's the most wasteful way to use the biggest movie star in the world?’, and it was through a character that is largely invisible and worthless throughout the movie. I still don't even know how we got him for the movie. Reynolds revealed that Pitt was paid for his cameo with a single cup of coffee: But for whatever reason it didn’t work out, and he kind of left the door open when we left that meeting, like, ‘If you guys ever need anything give me a call, I’d love to be involved,’ and Ryan just said, ‘Oh I have an idea.’ So we started to think about what it could be and The Vanisher thing was perfect.” It was serious talks and I think he was really interested, he loves the universe and he loves Deadpool. We had early talks with him about Cable, you remember the artwork was leaked and we had to pull it back from the internet. Leitch says that meeting went so well that it lead to Pitt’s cameo: PT: Adds details about the X-Men cameo reported by IGN.When it comes to the Brad Pitt cameo, some fans may be aware that the actor was in early talks to potentially play Cable in the film, but the deal never came together. Reynolds told ET Online there was no convincing needed to get Pitt on board: "Just ask, you never know!" he told the outlet at the movie's premiere.Īfter Deadpool 2's post-credits scenes though, is this truly the last we'll see of Pitt's Vanisher? Who knows.

Then, blink and you miss him, there's Brad Pitt with a face full of fear as the invisible superhero meeting his demise. And honestly, you're not even sure they've really even cast anyone as the character until he's flying face first into a power line and getting a serious shock. You can't "see" who's playing the Vanisher until he dies. These superheroes are the cast of 2019's X-Men: Dark Phoenix film, with IGN reporting that Dark Phoenix director Simon Kinberg shot the cameo from the film's set. I spotted Professor X ( James McAvoy), Beast ( Nicholas Hoult), X-Men universe's Quicksilver ( Evan Peters) and Cyclops ( Tye Sheridan). (In a twist, the man Tudyk is talking to is credited on IMDb as "Dickie.") X-Men as themselvesĮvery cameo in this movie is "Wait, was that really who I thought it was?" This quick group shot is no different.Īs Deadpool ( Ryan Reynolds) mopes around the X-Mansion with Colossus in tow, we glimpse the X-Men (as we know them from recent movies) in a sitting room quietly trying to avoid interacting with the meta merc.

Tudyk drops to the ground when Cable hits him, and that's the last we see of him. Cable comes up to the duo, asks a simple question and then gets annoyed when there's no simple answer.

He's sporting a mullet and drinking watered-down beer in an open field with his buddy. Look for Tudyk early on, almost right after you see Cable (Josh Brolin) for the first time on screen. There are some big, hilarious cameos to look out for in Deadpool 2.Īlan Tudyk, the first person to see Cable
