Rob Liefeld wants Jon Hamm for Cable; provides artwork to make his case

Jon Hamm

Rob Liefeld is a man-child of infinite splendor, a man whom I can look up to for inspiration and pouches. The BoyGenius weighed in last night on Jon Hamm’s Golden Globes win, using the time to stump for the actor to play Cable. I mean, this shit ain’t ever going to happen. But we can dream.

UPROXX:

Cable is the time-traveling member of the X-Men who is the son of Scott Summers and a Jean Grey clone (it’s complicated). Jon Hamm is the preternaturally attractive actor who won a Golden Globe last night. Right after Hamm won for his role in Mad Men‘s final season, the creator of Cable — pouch enthusiast Rob Liefeld — tweeted that the actor is his “Dream Future Cable pick.”

It’s not out of the realm of possibility. Although Hamm has never accepted a role in a comic book adaptation, we do know Cable is a strong contender forDeadpool 2, as director Tim Miller has said he’d be “run out of town on a rail”if Cable isn’t in the sequel. And we almost got a big screen Cable even sooner;X-Men: Apocalypse reportedly derailed an X-Force movie that was in development.
