After expressing his desire to see Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson play the role at some point in the future, Deadpool co-creator Rob Liefeld shared concept image of Garrison Kane from 2016's Deadpool.
Liefeld shared two pieces of concept art for Kane on Facebook, writing, "You guys have heard me ramble on about KANE, and I must confess, I love all my kids equally. At the time I’m drawing each and every character, they are my faves. So, I found the early production art from Kane’s intended appearance in 2016 Deadpool. These were from Blur Studios and as I mentioned in an earlier post, Kane was cut for budgetary reasons but man it would have been amazing to see the cover of X-Force #2 come to life on screen! #kane #deadpool #marvel #robliefeld
Created by Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza, Garrison Kane made his first appearance in X-Force #2, which hit shelves in 1991. The character is introduced as a member of Six Pack, a mercenary team started by Cable. Kane possesses cybernetic parts that provide him with superhuman strength. The character has frequent run-ins with Deadpool in the comics
Following Disney's acquisition of key assets from 21st Century Fox -- including Deadpool -- it's unclear when the Merc With a Mouth will make his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut and just what that appearance might look like. The previously announced X-Force film now seems unlikely to happen anytime soon.
