The latest trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine featured a few significant links to Loki, including the Time Variance Authority, The Void, and Alioth (you can read our full breakdown here).
Now, The Cosmic Circus is reporting that Wunmi Mosaku will reprise her role as Hunter B-15 in the upcoming threequel. The site reports that her role in Deadpool & Wolverine will be "brief," adding that she's "expected to handle the situation that presents itself in the film."
After helping to reveal the truth behind the inner workings of the TVA, B-15 became one of Loki and Mobius' closest allies. After the Temporal Loom was destroyed and the Multiverse was reborn, she was among those leading the new TVA as they set out to help it flourish rather than pruning branched timelines.
She also appeared to be on the hunt for He Who Remains' Variants, though there's currently nothing to suggest Kang will factor into Deadpool & Wolverine.
The site's resident scooper, Alex Perez, has also dropped some interesting new details about the movie on social media.
"Here's what you gotta know about Cassandra Nova," he said. "She's Clever. She's Sadistic. She's got a very dark sense of humor. She’s very f*cking dangerous. She will not hesitate to kill your [favourite]. She’s a very real threat to the Multiverse."
Perez would later describe her as a "very f*cked up individual" after she was spotted stepping out of Professor X's wheelchair, and confirmed we'll get a backstory for the villain in Deadpool & Wolverine.
He'd also claim Wolverine and Nova haven't crossed paths before, but adds, "She has the same power set as Charles. So just imagine what a person with a f*cked up sense of humor could do if they could replay your darkest memories and make you experience them again?"
It's looking like Cassandra Nova is going to be a better-than-usual baddie from Marvel Studios, and someone who will pose a serious threat to our heroes. Here's a new still from Deadpool & Wolverine highlighting the villain:
Shawn Levy directs Deadpool & Wolverine, which stars Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Emma Corrin, Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney, Leslie Uggams, Karan Soni, and Matthew Macfadyen. The movie is written by Ryan Reynolds & Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick & Zeb Wells & Shawn Levy.
The trades have confirmed that Jennifer Garner will reprise her role as Elektra, with Wesley Snipes, James Marsden, Famke Janssen, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Dafne Keen, Channing Tatum, Blake Lively and, as we mentioned above, even singer Taylor Swift among those rumoured to make an appearance.
Kevin Feige, Reynolds, Levy and Lauren Shuler Donner produce with Louis D’Esposito, Wendy Jacobson, Mary McLaglen, Josh McLaglen, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, George Dewey, Simon Kinberg and Jonathon Komack Martin serving as executive producers.
