The Hollywood Reporter has a very interesting profile up on Deadpool 2 star Zazie Beetz and with that comes some incredible photos of the beautiful Atlanta actress (a series the trade notes that put her on Ryan Reynolds' radar when he cast her as Domino). Interestingly, they also point out that she's playing a villain but that's not officially confirmed at this stage and could be speculation on their part!

It's also mentioned that she signed a three-picture deal which is likely to incorporate the planned X-Force movie (assuming Fox has chance to make it before the Disney deal is made 100% official).

Here, you'll find a must-see gallery of images alongside various details and comments from Beetz's profile. Among the tidbits revealed here are her history with comic books and just how quickly she ended up being cast after meeting with Reynolds. So, click below to check it out and stay tuned for further updates on the movie as we have them...after all, it is coming a month sooner now.

Beetz had to undergo two months of intense training before shooting started and that continued for four hours a day during production as well. " I didn't really work out that much," she confessed about her schedule before being cast as Domino in the sequel. "So it was a huge transition emotionally and physically ... just something I hadn't felt before. [I'd] never really brought myself that far."

Amazingly, Reynolds decided to cast Beetz after just a single meeting, something which is interesting considering the fact that we heard so many different names were being considered for the role!

As for Beetz's interest in comic books, she confesses to not really knowing all that much about the Marvel or DC Universes. However, she is a reader of Calvin and Hobbes, something she describes as "the classic not-comic-book-reader’s comic." We know from experience that being a fan isn't a make or break component of whether or not an actor is capable of delivering a great performance.

"The show is sort of through the male gaze," says Beetz, whose character grows "outside of just the context of Earn" in the second season. She was photographed Feb. 28 at Go Studios in New York.

Are you guys excited to see Beetz as Domino? Do you think the character could end up being a villain or will that just be how she's initially perceived? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section!

Test screenings didn't go well apparently

@BlackBeltJones - We'll see, but I also wouldn't be surprised. I'm sure the action is probably awesome as well as the actors, but the Deadpool shtick (particularly by Ryan Reynolds) can get old fast if they don't do it right. That's why the trailers haven't impressed me much and have left me skeptical, while still enjoying them. Too many sequels involving comedy go on a bit of an ego trip and then overdo the charm of what made a character or premise so funny to begin with.

@BlackBeltJones - This movie was dead to me when Miller left. I have no confidence in Reynolds.

Kevwebsz - 3/10/2018, 2:35 AM

@MosquitoFarmer - like the hangover

Hot damn
