DEADPOOL 3 Star Morena Baccarin Teases "Reinvention" for the Relationship of Wade Wilson and Vanessa
Morena Baccarin is set to reprise her role as Vanessa Carlysle in director Shawn Levy’s Deadpool 3, and in a recent interview, she teased a new side of Wade Wilson and Vanessa’s relationship. Vanessa was originally supposed to have been killed off in Deadpool 2, but her fate was changed during reshoots after her death got some negative kickback from test audiences. So, her story will continue in the MCU!
Screen Rant recently spoke with the actress and she offered some insight on the new approach to Wade Wilson and Vanessa's relationship in the upcoming Deadpool movie. She said:
"I think it’s really cool that they are such well-met characters and that their lives... You can see them in and out of each other’s lives constantly. The comic, it’s the same way. So I think that the franchise and Ryan and the director, they’ve done a really great job of always reinventing that relationship and making it interesting, but maintaining the core thing that keeps them always coming back to each other. So I think there’s a little bit more of that in this film. My work is finished on the film."
It’ll be interesting to see how Vanessa will be utilized in this next chapter of the story. A lot of fans believe when we see her again, she will be transformed into the mutant mercenary Copycat. We’ll jus thave to wait and see about that.
When previously asked about her work on Deadpool 3, Baccarin replied: "It did work out! I finished my shooting days on it, already. I think the film is now underway again after the strike and I think it's going to be quite good! Yeah, I think fans are in for a fun surprise."
When asked whether she thinks it's about time for Vanessa to finally suit up as Copycat, she laughed and said: “I think, yes! But I think she's also competing with a very large universe."
Do you think the next time we see Vanessa in Deadpool 3 she will be Copycat?
