Pierce Brosnan comes clean on being cast in 'Deadpool 2'

Actor Pierce Brosnan has refuted rumours that he's in negotiations to play Cable in the upcoming Deadpool 2.

The former James Bond actor cleared up the air during a visit to Jimmy Kimmel Live!, saying, "Not true. Nothing's come my way yet", reported Ace Showbiz.

When asked about the picture that showed him sitting with Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, he says, "We were sitting, waiting for a plane, the three of us, and the guy said, 'Quick, let's get a photograph,' and I jump in the middle and Mr. Reynolds said, 'Let's do Three Wise Monkeys.' We put it out there and it went viral. I don't lie. They know where to find me, it's just fabricated."

The second Deadpool film is scheduled for 2018. Zazie Beetz is tapped as Domino. Man of Steel actor Michael Shannon and Stranger Things star David Harbour are in contention to play the main baddie.
