I'd double dip for the 4k for around $10. Probably won't see that for awhile though.

Oh well still planning to go tonight at 8:30.
I'll buy the code off you for 3 dollars if you still have it and aren't going to use it.

He was originally going to play Cable, but had to pull out due to other commitments. So he agreed to do the Vanisher cameo instead.

It was a cameo
just a quick little joke appearance.

No need to try to figure anything out.

Just to be clear, they pitched the role of Cable to Pitt, and he considered it, but never had the role, reportedly due to schedule conflicts. So Pitt didn't "pull out" of playing Cable, because he never agreed to play Cable.

"Ryan [Reynolds] and I went to pitch Brad," Leitch says in the video below. "We had concept art, and it's sort of how the Vanisher cameo came to life. Because I think he entertained it for a bit and I know his schedules wouldn't allow it to happen, so he came and did the cameo for fun."

Ah, okay. I obviously misremembered the story. Thanks for correcting.

i can't even see Pitt as Cable. Brolin was perfect. he certainly is Marvel Jesus being in two different Marvel franchises and playing a big role in each to perfection.

Yeah, Pitt just doesn't really fit the character. He doesn't seem to have the physical size to convincingly portray Cable, and he's not grizzled enough even though he's shed his pretty boy looks from the 1990s. Brolin probably wasn't the first name that would come up if I was casting the character, but he was damned near perfect.

Josh Brolin is not any bigger than Brad Pitt.

He definitely looks stockier than Pitt which gives him a bigger presence.

I always pictured Stephen Lang (would also be a great Wildcat for DC), but Brolin nailed it.
