Speaking in the latest episode of Meet the Movie Press, Mashable.com film reporter Jeff Sneider discussed the rumour of Friday Night Lights star Kyle Chandler playing the Marvel Comics hero Cable in the Fox sequel.

Sneider said that the rumours concerning Chandler and the part have been swirling for months. He went on to say "I don't know if he's interested in that kind of thing, I'm just saying that's the name that's been out there."

As Ryan Reynolds himself pointed out in the post-credits scene of the original Deadpool film, the part would typically required a big physically imposing actor. Whether Kyle Chandler would fit the bill is something that will remain to be seen, however, the buzz over his possible casting is already causing wave of fan discussion.

In the same discussion, Sneider raised the prospect of Mackenzie Davis (The Martian) being a contender for the role of Domino.
