So...there was this after credits scene when Deadpool shows up on screen in bathrobe and starts taking to the audience something like "Oh...you are still here! Why? Go home...movie is over...there wont be teaser for the sequel...we don't have that kind of money"....
Then he stops and says "But I can tell you one thing about the sequel...we will have cable in the sequel! I dunno who will play him...it could be Mel Gibson, Dolph Lundgren...or Keira Knightley, she's got range..."
And then he walks away and scene ends. It was obvious joke...but it was so cool that they drooped his name on screen...

By the way, this is how actually really ignorant I am regarding comics : who is this Cable guy (no pun intended) anyway? It seems he's also in X-Men comics or did I get it wrong?
In the show, Jean-Claude Van Damme is just the persona that Jean-Claude Van Johnson puts on in order to do dangerous private contractor work. Projects like Double Team with Dennis Rodman and the awful Street Fighter movie were only done to provide cover for Van Johnson’s secret operations. But now, not unlike Van Damme, Van Johnson finds himself out of his prime. He can’t do the splits to avoid getting hit with a metal pipe,he’s depressed by the family photos in the holiday cards he gets sent by Dolph Lundgren, and he’s just not the man he used to be.
“That’s a good question. I haven’t watched a lot of these superhero movies; for some reason, I don’t know, I’m just busy making films. I did hear in (…) Deadpool, isn’t there a character named Cable that’s coming? Like, he’s a big guy? I guess I could kick some butt doing that, I suppose. We’ll see. (...) When I saw the picture, he looks a little bit like Ivan Drago mixed with Gunner Jensen mixed with… I don’t know.”
