Firefly posters in Deadpool 2 teaser trailer spark speculation. People are taking that and another reference to mean that Nathan Fillion is playing Cable in the sequel. Or it could be a 'Two Guys and a Girl' injoke. The trailer is what you call NSFW.

The Firefly bit is around the two minute mark.

Morena Baccarin was also the female lead in the first Deadpool movie.Don't know if she will be back for the second though.Another Firefiy connection at any rate.

A clear indication Nathan Fillion is playing Cable ;-)

Set designers on the Fox lot might have access to a bunch of old Firefly posters. Just a thought. Love all the conspiracy theories though. I didn't even notice the posters when I saw it in the theater.

I saw that last night and wondered just how long it would take for the chaos to be unleashed.

What other reference?

IrrationaliTV - I don't think these are old Firefly posters from the production of Firefly. It seems to me they are acually based on enlarged cover for Firefly: The Official Companion volume 1 (the cover featured an original montage of the main characters which seems to be reproduced here).
So this is probably not a random use of what was at hand but, more likely, an intentional Firefly reference.

@tmvde: Ha ha. According to the Internet, Nathan Fillion is playing everything, isn't he? From Nathan Drake to Batman to Cable. ;)

@TimeTravellingBunny, he should be playing everything ;-)

tmvde | March 05, 13:52 CET

naw, he should be playing Mal. Give us the Serenity Trilogy!!!!!!!

Where exactly can that poster be seen in the trailer ?

@Bad Karma, as mentioned above a little past two minutes in, left from the phone booth.

Nathan and Ryan are best bro's - at least in the Twitterverse. The use of the posters can be as little as a shout out to a buddy or a harbinger of future work together. Last I had heard the leading candidate for Cable (who I know nothing about) is David Harbour, hot on the heels of his performance as sheriff in Stranger Things
