DEADPOOL 2: We May Now Know The Identities Of The Actors Playing Those Mystery Mutants In The Trailer

While we may have figured out who those mystery X-Force (?) members are in the new Deadpool 2 trailer, it appears the identities of the actors playing them have also been revealed and they're a surprise!

The new trailer for Deadpool 2 left us with a lot of questions and dropped plenty of big reveals. However, the biggest came when we saw three mystery characters standing alongside the Merc with the Mouth and Domino. One of those has already been identified as Terry Crews (who is most likely G.W. Bridge) but we have no idea who is going to be playing Shatterstar and Zeitgeist. Well, until now!

Rumour has it that IT star Bill Skarsgård is playing Zeitgeist which makes a lot of sense considering the fact he worked with Deadpool 2 director David Leitch on Atomic Blonde. Eddie Marsan also appeared in that movie and he was later cast in the sequel so this definitely adds up. It's also worth noting that Karan Soni (Dopinder) liked a Tweet referencing the fact it's Skarsgård in the role (he later unliked it).

As for Shatterstaer, Iron Fist actor Lewis Tan has been generating a lot of speculation online that he's playing the character after unleashing a series of Deadpool related Tweets since the trailer debuted. So, nothing is confirmed but it's easy to imagine both of these guys playing the characters mentioned above. Josh Brolin, meanwhile, has confirmed that Deadpool 2 is currently undergoing some reshoots.

This is me this morning getting back in shape for some reshoots. Starting to get the foundation back. Feeling really athletic today. Feeling good. #itseasyforme #ryanreynoldsusescgiforhisabs #ilovebeingfamous #firstdayoffmeth

Bill was GREAT as Pennywise.
And Lewis Tan is a bonafide martial artist. Can't wait to see him in some action.

Bill Skarsgård uh? Strange they didn't bank on him during the marketing, then again...there's still time.

Reshoots? Hmm...with the Fox deal nearly complete....I think people know where I'm going with this...

@JustAChillDude - Where are you going with this?

Magus - 2/12/2018, 7:36 AM

@JustAChillDude - I hope the reshoots are for some last minute meta narrative about being naught out by Disney.

Tonic24k - 2/12/2018, 12:50 PM

@JustAChillDude - I see where you're going and I wanna go, too.

I thought I recognized Bill's creepy ass eyes in the trailer. He could play the lead in a rom-com and I would only see him as Pennywise. Even doing interviews for the movie, he seems like he's pretending to be human.
