IGN recently caught up with stars Ed Skrein and Gina Carano to talk about Deadpool. Opening up about their villainous characters, 'Ajax' and 'Angel Dust', the pair dropped a few details about how they fit into the film's wider story. "The program that we run is very similar to Weapon X, in that we take terminally-ill soldiers and we give them superpowers," Skrein claimed. "Ajax and Angel Dust went through that process themselves and now we run the program and we're the people that changed Wade Wilson into Deadpool."
Carano revealed that she and Skrein worked on Angel Dust's backstory together. "We decided Ajax kind of found her," Carano said. "Angel Dust will only listen to Ajax. I'm like a horse rearing to go and he pretty much has the reins." Skrein added that the nature of their characters' relationship was designed to be intentionally ambiguous. "We really wanted people to not know whether we were Brother and Sister, lovers, whether it is a teacher-pupil situation almost like a pimp and prostitute situation, for want of a better word."
Carano jokingly added that Skrein was the prostitute in this situation! Are you excited to see these two take on Ryan Reynolds' Merc With A Mouth? Be sure to sound off in the comments!
