Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Lizzy Caplan, and More Reportedly on DEADPOOL 2 Shortlist To Play Domino

It's been a couple of months since we've heard anything about Deadpool 2, 20th Century Fox's follow-up to this year's surprise smash hit. We know star Ryan Reynolds and writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick will be back, and we're pretty sure Cable is going to be in it considering he was teased at the end of the first film's credits, but beyond that, details have been a bit hard to come by.

Now Collider has popped up with an update, saying that their sources have revealed that testing has begun to find an actress to play the role of Domino, a telekinetic mutant badass in her own right who has close ties to Cable. They list six actresses who "have tested or are going to test for the role": Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Lizzy Caplan, Sienna Miller, Sofia Boutella, Stephanie Sigman, and Sylvia Hoeks.

That's certainly an interesting mix of talent. Personally, I like the first actresses choices the best, but Winstead is gearing up for Fargo season 3 and Caplan is starring in Masters of Sex, so I'm not sure if the timing will work out there (but what the hell do I know — if they're auditioning, there must be a chance they can fit it into their schedules). Boutella is best known for her roles as the blade-legged assassin in Kingsman and as Jaylah in Star Trek Beyond, and Sigman appeared in Narcos and in a tiny role in the beginning of the most recent Bond film, Spectre. Hoeks, who is from the Netherlands, has appeared on a bunch of Dutch TV shows and has a role in the upcoming Blade Runner 2049.

No word on whether Mackenzie Davis is still (or was ever officially) in the running; she was rumored for the role a couple of months ago.

Filming on the sequel is supposed to begin sometime in early 2017, so the producers have some time to figure this out and get the rest of the cast in place before cameras roll. Who do you think should play Domino in Deadpool 2?
