As a duo, Wolverine/Spidey have better chemistry than Logan's other so-called "best friend"(... Nightcrawler). I liken Logan/Parker's relationship to a Fred and Lamont Sanford or a Red and Eric Forman.
I feel like that Deadpool game that came out years ago killed the Cable/Deadpool "friendship". They kinda treated Cable as a joke in that game(along with Wolverine) so Deadpool could shine. I don't think it's been the same ever since. Wolverine could survive being humiliated(because it's Wolverine), but I don't think Cable ever recovered and that was around the time when Deadpool really took off. IIRC I believe that game had a hand in garnering interest in Deadpool getting his own movie because Ryan Reynolds was a fan of it.
It’s a game though, so not canon in the comics. And the Deadpool 2 film which introduced Cable in the films came out after that, and Reynolds and Brolin had great chemistry there. They’re the R-rated version of the Spidey/Wolverine dynamic.
I really hope Brolin is back as Cable in Deadpool 3, looking more comic accurate (fully gray hair, taller through camera angles/lifts/CGI, etc.). That would be fun.

Video games are very influential these days. Some of the things they do have influence on the books and even the movies. Batman and Deadpool being prime examples. As for Brolin, he may have the face for Cable, but I just couldn't take him seriously when Deadpool towers over him. It's like he has the opposite problem of the Wolverine situation in the movies. I don't really do the fancast thing, but if were to cast Cable in a future MCU flick, I'd look towards the direction of the main lead in that Jack Reacher series.
I thought it was clever how they made a joke out of the height thing in DP2, and now in DP3 — which is confirmed to be in the MCU — there are lots of ways they can make Brolin look physically larger. Even without CGI (e.g., camera angles, lifts in his boots). Just look at Tom Hardy, who’s like 5’9” or so, as Bane in the Dark Knight Rises for a great example of this. He seemed huge in a lot of his scenes, but obviously is quite short in real life. Shorter than Brolin even.

Should be a fun read, though if I'm reading the article right, Patrick Gleason is doing the interior art for that issue. Still, Spider-Man and Wolverine/Logan teaming up should be fun. Would be glad to throw in Cable and Deadpool as well, especially since Cable actually said --- or thought to himself --- at one point, which might have been Avengers: X-Sanction, that Spider-Man would eventually be regarded as the greatest hero of the present era.

Plot armor strikes again! That said, if Rachel had mind-scanned him, anyway . . . well, I'd think uncovering Otto Octavius lurking as the dominant consciousness in Peter Parker's body would be a slightly bigger deal than Rachel violating the sanctity of his psychic boundaries, given that Spider-Man was an Avenger in (relatively) good standing at the time and Otto could have easily used that to gain access to technology, weapons, and/or other resources possessed by the Avengers that he could then turn into something much more dangerous to the world at large. That, and "Superior Spider-Man" was him coming off a scheme to make sure his name would be remembered forever --- as the greatest monster that ever lived --- by burning the planet to a cinder and taking almost everyone on it (99.92% of the population) with him.
Yes, I'm still a tad bitter after nearly a decade.
