Despite his fondness for comedies and dramas, Michael Shannon has repeatedly immersed himself in the superhero genre. His role more important than him in this area in Super Villain General Zod in Henry Cavill’s first outing in Superman, Man of Steel. Many DC fans appreciated him as a Kryptonian rogue general, but after that film Shannon had a chance to step into Marvel’s rival, according to a High speed train producer. It turns out that Shannon, who appears in the now released film High speed trainhe almost played a great Marvel superhero.
High speed train producer Kelly McCormick spoke about the knives out The actor almost joined the Marvel Universe to play a pivotal role while being interviewed by indiewire. After playing General Zod, Shannon almost played the anti-hero Cable Deadpool 2 before Josh Brolin got the role. McCormick explained how Brolin became the Marvel character instead of Shannon:
In fact, it was almost Cable. Then there was kind of a last minute hiccup conflict, and then we ended up reconnecting on that, and we felt really lucky this role was for him. why Josh [Brolin] He was as good as Cable, I can’t even imagine it [what that would have been like].
As the Hollywood producer pointed out, it’s hard to imagine anyone other than Brolin playing the time-traveling soldier. As for Brolin these days, he’s not sure if he’ll return as Cable, as the action comedy franchise is now part of the MCU. While every man has the strengths of him, Brolin captured Cable’s stoic and cynical nature for the big screen, while Michael Shannon may have appeared tough and menacing, as seen in Man of Steel. But things got worse when Kelly McCormick and the 47-year-old actor finally started working together on High speed train.
Michael Shannon is probably not crying for not playing the Marvel hero, as he is ready to reprise the role of General Zod. He will appear inside the flash alongside Ezra Miller and Batman actors Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton. His DC supervillain retaliation comes years after viewers last saw the dead body of the former Kryptonian in Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice.
But the Deadpool 2/High speed train the connection did not break with Shannon. There’s the famous and crazy Brad Pitt Deadpool 2 cameo in which he played The Vanisher, who electrocuted himself trying to help the chatty mercenary as a member of X-Force. While viewers enjoyed the “blink and you’ll miss it” moment, Ryan Reynold’s wife Blake Lively didn’t enjoy it. After Deadpool 2 clip with Pitt went viral, Lively couldn’t help but make a classic joke about how Reynolds didn’t invite her to the set when the Oscar-winning actor filmed her scene. The actress’s response was expected, as she and her husband constantly cross paths online.
Michael Shannon may still be working with Marvel, especially after CEO Kevin Feige announced the official formation of Phase 5 and anticipated Phase 6 of the MCU. Meanwhile, the public can see Shannon as the White Death High speed train, currently in theaters.
