The only animated appearance for Cable is X-Men: The Animated Series, where he appears in six episodes. He is also depicted as coming from the year 3999, where he leads an army in a desperate war against the forces of the immortal villain Apocalypse. Cyclops' paternity is implied.

Cable appeared in Deadpool 2, which is part of the X-Men Movieverse, portrayed by Josh Brolin. Cable is depicted as a mysterious time traveling soldier from a devastated future in order to assassinate the young mutant Russell Collins. However, Deadpool forms the X-Force team to stop him and eventually Cable joins the X-Force in order to stop Russell and Juggernaut. Wade sacrifices himself when Cable tries to shoot Russell, causing Russell to reject a future as a villain which saves Cable's family. In return, Cable uses his last charge on his time-traveling device to travel to the past to prevent himself from killing Wade while still allowing Russell to have a change of heart. Cable said he would remain in the present to create a better future for his family. Cable's connection to Cyclops or Havok in the XMM was never mentioned.
