While Cable played by Josh Brolin will become the protagonist's ally, Kesey will bring him a lot of problems. Although there is no confirmation of what kind of role the actor got, but with a high degree of probability he will embody the image of Black Tom Cassidy on the screen. According to the comics, a Dublin-born villain can manipulate energy through plants. He is also able to create deafening impulses with wooden objects, usually his cane. Sounds pretty ridiculous, but this is the kind of character that fits perfectly into a movie about a chatty mercenary.

She immigrated to New York at the end of the century, in a time of progress and great change, - shared the lead singer Elisabeth Moss . -She was unique, incredibly stubborn, ambitious and vehemently denied any involvement in the spread of the disease until her death, spending her final years in a prison on an island near the Bronx.
