Talking to MTV News earlier today, Game of Thrones alum Ed Skrein revealed some new details about the villainous Ajax in Deadpool. We know that the character will be Wade Wilson's main foe in the movie, but is he really all that bad? "I think the rest of the world sees him as a bad guy. Me, I think he's just misunderstood. His name is Ajax; or Francis. He went through the same Weapon X programme as Wolverine and Deadpool," the actor confirmed, revealing a tie to the X-Men (with X-Men Origins: Wolverine no longer canon, could this be where Hugh Jackman cameos?). 

A recent photo of Ajax confirmed that this version of the character won't look exactly like his comic book counterpart, but what about his powers? "His superpowers are that he feels nothing," Skrein revealed. "He feels no pain, but also psychologically what's interesting is that there's huge parts of his mind which is missing. The social responsibilities and all those things, so it's a very interesting character. He really doesn't feel that much, so I suppose he's a sociopath in the truest sense." What do you guys think about these latest details? Let us know your thoughts below.
