Jack Kesy Cast As ‘Deadpool 2’ Villain

The cast for Deadpool 2 seems to be shaping up very nicely. Not only do we have Josh Brolin and Zazie Beetz joining as Cable and Domino respectively, but it looks like the film now has it villain.

Earlier today, it was announced that Jack Kesy has been added to the sequel in ‘a major villain role’. His exact role has not been announced, but it has been speculated that he will be portraying the Dublin-born mutant Black Tom Cassidy.

Black Tom has the power to manipulate, bond with, and project energy through plant life. He can also issue concussive blasts through the use of a wooden object, usually a shillelagh. He is the long-time crime partner of the super-strong Juggernaut, and the cousin of the X-men’s Banshee. The character first appeared in Uncanny X-Men #101 in October 1976.

Here is the teaser trailer for Deadpool 2, and you can read the full text from it here.
