DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE Stars Tease Cassandra Nova's "Unpredictability" And Reveal Surprise Inspiration

Emma Corrin, Ryan Reynolds, and Hugh Jackman tease Cassandra Nova's role in Deadpool & Wolverine, with the Wade Wilson actor heaping praise on his co-star's "mischief, danger, [and] unpredictability."

While we've seen a lot from Deadpool & Wolverine in recent weeks, much of the threequel is shrouded in secrecy. The latest trailer offered a glimpse at the movie's villain, Cassandra Nova, though we still don't know what she's up to in The Void.

The prevailing theory is that the twisted twin sister of Professor X hails from the same reality as Deadpool & Wolverine's Logan. If she killed the X-Men before being pruned, it would go a long way in establishing Nova as a threat to the heroes and perhaps even the wider Multiverse.

In a profile of Emma Corrin on Harper's Bazaar, the actor (who uses they/them pronouns), refuses to say too much about playing the villain but confirmed Christoph Waltz's Hans Landa in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds was a key source of inspiration.

"Because he’s in that uniform, that says everything you need to know," they explain. "He can sit down at the table and just chat like we’re doing now, be animated, very pleasant. It's so unnerving because he’s as evil as they get, the worst person on the planet."

"He is the opposite of a scary villain; he lets his physicality do the talking, and then he flips the other parts on their head."

According to Hugh Jackman, "Emma has an ability to so subtly change - to turn on a dime. There was an effortlessness, a sense of danger."

Ryan Reynolds goes into further detail by heaping praise of his co-star. "It felt like working with a skin-covered Swiss Army knife. Emma brought a Gene Wilder energy to Deadpool & Wolverine. Mischief, danger, unpredictability - from their first scene onward, we understand the villain enough to know why she's motivated to oppose our heroes."

"And that’s because Emma is so [frick]ing excellent at humanizing even the most chaotic lines. The only thing we love more than hating a villain is loving one. And we love Emma’s Cassandra Nova from the jump."

He concludes by calling Corrin "one of the greatest partners I’ve ever had in the Deadpool sandbox. You heard me, Jackman..."

I'm not reading all that sh1t but hopefully shes good.

Doomsday8888 - 5/23/2024, 3:07 PM

This day, 10 years ago, the GREATEST CBMovie ever released.

IMHO of course but damn, man...

It really filled my lil heart with so much hope and optimism, shit was f*cking amazing and hella wholesome. :)

We make our own destiny.
People CAN change.
And one man CAN make a difference!

FinnishDude - 5/23/2024, 3:18 PM

@Doomsday8888 - Overrated.

WarMonkey - 5/23/2024, 3:28 PM

@Doomsday8888 - Cool! I think I'll rewatch this tonight to celebrate! I just rewatched it like a month ago too

TheVisionary25 - 5/23/2024, 3:14 PM

Honestly , she might be the character I’m most excited to see in the film…

The Hans Landa inspiration is interesting and I am looking forward to seeing how that manifests in Emma’s performance but I also got Dolores Umbridge vibes from her in the trailer.

She’s this evil & sadistic person but has apparently this undercurrent of faux sweetness to her that makes it even more unnerving.

Polaris - 5/23/2024, 3:36 PM

@TheVisionary25 - Same! I'm intrigued.

lazlodaytona - 5/23/2024, 3:18 PM

WOW. That armpit hair is so inviting ... NOT
So, are 'they' gonna be a she or he. Says they are the twin sister of Xavier.
Seems kinda racist to label a transgender as one or the other.

Forget that sh1t. The whole think is f***ing ridiculous.

marvel72 - 5/23/2024, 3:24 PM

@lazlodaytona -

Its disgusting makes me wanna...

Apophis71 - 5/23/2024, 3:24 PM

@lazlodaytona - Non-binary not trans, was born female and still plays female roles, some will get bent out of shape over it all anyway but non-binary and trans are not the same thing and if understand that or don't, support it or not is a side issue to the point of born female and still playing female acting roles.

harryba11zack - 5/23/2024, 3:26 PM

@lazlodaytona -

MotherGooseUPus - 5/23/2024, 3:52 PM

@marvel72 - same

marvel72 - 5/23/2024, 4:05 PM

@MotherGooseUPus - I hope they digitally remove the armpit hair, get the guys behind cavill's moustache removal.

TheMetaMan - 5/23/2024, 5:11 PM

@marvel72 - That gif cracks me up. 😆😆😆😆😅🤣😂

Dotanuki - 5/23/2024, 5:15 PM

@lazlodaytona - slow your roll. Your unhinged comment is hilarious. Needs more spittle and whacked out grammar. 4/10.

MotherGooseUPus - 5/23/2024, 6:38 PM

@marvel72 - HAHAHAHA yesssss, that will def work

lazlodaytona - 5/24/2024, 7:03 AM

@Apophis71 - I was half-way kidding.
I support everyone in what they choose to be. But I can not support the armpit hair....yuck

Apophis71 - 5/24/2024, 7:08 AM

@lazlodaytona - I figured :D

lazlodaytona - 5/24/2024, 9:34 AM

@harryba11zack - is there supposed to be a pic or a gif in your comment?

harryba11zack - 5/24/2024, 9:37 AM

@lazlodaytona -

lazlodaytona - 5/24/2024, 9:40 AM

@Dotanuki - i'll try better next time CBM god

lazlodaytona - 5/24/2024, 9:43 AM

@harryba11zack - ok. that's better :)

NGFB - 5/23/2024, 3:23 PM

She could be so hot, but it looks like she's making a statement against hotness.

marvel72 - 5/23/2024, 3:26 PM

@NGFB - I agree, I wonder what it is that's off putting.

McMurdo - 5/23/2024, 5:23 PM

@NGFB - Shea great in a Murder at the End of the World.

TheMetaMan - 5/23/2024, 3:26 PM

The armpit hair reminds of sex and the city movie. One of the ladies says to the other one - “Jesus honey, wax much?” 😄😄😆😂😂🤣

WarMonkey - 5/23/2024, 3:27 PM

Sounds like she's the typical Disney villain who isn't really a villain although they kill people indiscriminately and with indifference to their suffering and pain. And who is screaming at others a lot with a bunch of big dudes acting as goons following her cause she's just that amazing.

BTW I won't ever be able to look at her again without thinking of hairy armpits and legs, so thanks for that. I knew a girl in school who did that for a bit when she was on a feminist binge for a month or so and I could never look at her the same again. She would write me love poems and buy me gifts but I couldn't stop thinking "yuck" when I saw her.

marvel72 - 5/23/2024, 3:35 PM

Could you imagine what her twat looks like with armpits like that.

TheMetaMan - 5/23/2024, 5:12 PM

@marvel72 - LMFAO!!!! 😂😂😂😆🤣🤣😂😆 I [frick]ing fell off my bed reading that comment. You’ve reduced me to tears!! 😂😀😃😃😄😁😆🤣🤣😂🥹🤣

grouch - 5/23/2024, 6:26 PM

@marvel72 - lmao

marvel72 - 5/23/2024, 7:40 PM

@TheMetaMan - I'm here to entertain.

marvel72 - 5/23/2024, 7:42 PM

@grouch -

I thought it was when I was typing it.

MotherGooseUPus - 5/23/2024, 3:54 PM

the main pic of the article makes her look like one of the precogs in Minority Report (underrated movie)..... then you just had to throw the armpit hair pic in here to stir the pot.... well done

mountainman - 5/23/2024, 4:07 PM

@MotherGooseUPus - One of my all time favorite scifi movies. Crazy how much it predicted (pun intended) how collective “security” can be used to supersede individual rights. To think that there are leaders in this world that would love to have that type of technology in their hands.

McMurdo - 5/23/2024, 5:30 PM

@MotherGooseUPus - I dunno I think most consider Minority Report to be a damn good film

MotherGooseUPus - 5/23/2024, 6:40 PM

@mountainman - its a great movie... and i truly hope to god that never happens in my life time... if it does, all hell will break loose in some states...

@McMurdo - really? i never hear anyone say its a great movie when i mention it... but im also not around a ton of movie geeks like myself

PaKent - 5/23/2024, 4:00 PM

So Sinead O'Connor is the main villain of this movie?

TheMetaMan - 5/23/2024, 5:10 PM

@PaKent - Sinead O’Connor is dead man that’s deep. Show some respect. R.I.P. You should have done what Chris rock did and used Jada Pinkett’s G.I Joe as a rib. 😂😂😆😂

Dotanuki - 5/23/2024, 5:16 PM

@PaKent - Sinead was right.

PaKent - 5/23/2024, 5:25 PM

@Dotanuki - Agreed!
