Emma Corrin's DEADPOOL 3 Villain Character Reportedly Revealed
A new report has surfaced revealing the possible villainous character that Emma Corrin is playing in Deadpool 3. Their character has been kept under wraps since their casting was announced, but according to movie insider @CanWeGetToast, Corrin will be taking on the role of Cassandra Nova.
For those of you not familiar with the character, Nova is Charles Xavier’s villainous twin sister who is attacked by Charles in the womb, only to survive with the goal of getting revenge on him. She hid for years inside her brother's body before replicating his DNA scheme to obtain a body of her own.
Cassandra Nova made her debut in Marvel Comics in New X-Men #114 back in 2001. She was created by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely and she preys on mutants, and her goal is to use her crazy powers to wipe out all the mutants. At one point, she was responsible for the death of 16 million mutants through the destruction of Genosha.
I hope that this rumor ends up being true because this is an awesome and fascinating character to play withi n the next Deadpool movie! What are your thoughts on the possibility of Nova being the villain in the movie?
