Due to the character’s fourth wall breaking antics, the Deadpool movies typically stand apart from the mainstream X-Men franchise. However, Deadpool 2 does go some way to painting this corner of the X-universe into the bigger picture – most notably, by featuring a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo from James McAvoy’s Professor X and his team.
There’s a much subtler way, however, that the film could hark back to a previous installment in the franchise, and it’s to do with Josh Brolin’s Cable.
