‘Deadpool & Wolverine’: Emma Corrin’s Villain Role Seemingly Confirmed As Professor X’s Evil Twin Sister Cassandra Nova

This summer’s “Deadpool & Wolverine” will be the only big MCU feature film installment this year from Marvel Studios peppered in with Sony’s bootleg Marvel universe installments “Kraven: The Hunter” and “Venom 3” hoping to squeeze a few more dollars out of an exhausted audience that has caught-on to their attempts to cash-in on rushed and poorly planned superhero movies. There is some genuine excitement for “Deadpool 3” after the recent trailer drop earlier in the month, and something long suspected might have just been confirmed about the sequel’s villain.

A filing with the U.S. Copyright Office, a new harbinger of information and speculation for fan sites, has quietly mentioned that Emma Corrin‘s villainess character is going to be Cassandra Nova. A mutant telepath that just happens to be connected to Professor X in a big way.

The tidbit, filed by Disney/Marvel themselves, would confirm a longstanding online rumor that Corrin is playing a version of Professor Charles Xavier’s evil twin sister from the comics. However, how Cassandra will be presented to the audience in her cinematic incarnation has yet to be made official. She could simply be a variant of the X-Men character as the sequel is confirmed to feature variants (We’re already getting different takes on both Wade and Logan) of all sorts of characters and might be a more suitable angle rather than having her an elderly sibling to Patrick Stewart‘s version from previous films. Corrin’s role has long been established as a villain just like Matthew Macfadyen‘s TVA bureaucrat, Paradox.

Why Failure Became Elektra: 15 Things to Know

This posting would also back up previous trade reports that Jennifer Garner is indeed reprising the Elektra role. However, we’re still unclear how large that part is ultimately going to be. Promo artwork for the film has also sort of teased the inclusion of The Hand, which are primarily known as Marvel antagonists but Elektra finds herself controlling the group at a point in the comics.

Garner had recently worked with both director Shawn Levy and Ryan Reynolds on the time-traveling action flick “The Adam Project” which also featured Hulk actor Mark Ruffalo, as Garner and Ruffalo played the parents of Reynolds’ Adam. Fingers crossed we’re getting more of a cameo as the Fox incarnation of Elektra was sort of done horribly in both the “Daredevil” film led by Garner’s future husband Ben Affleck and the long-forgotten disastrous solo spinoff movie that ended the actress’ run as the Marvel heroine.

“Deadpool & Wolverine” is officially set to hit theaters on July 26, 2024, and we’re hopeful the next trailer will help to explain more of the actual plot as the teaser trailer mostly just established that the TVA and the Multiverse would indeed be playing a major role in the film’s story.

‘Deadpool 3’: Shawn Levy Says R-Rated Sequel With Wolverine Is Descendant Of ‘Midnight Run’ & ’48 Hours’

One of the many films that were in the middle of filming before the Hollywood strikes impacted productions and placed them on hiatus was “Deadpool 3.” It will be the first big “X-Men” movie made by Marvel Studios after acquiring the franchise during the events of Disney’s merger with 21st Century and there were some high expectations when it landed a Marvel-level budget. When it was revealed that Hugh Jackman would be reprising the Wolverine role after giving a perfect send-off to the character in “Logan” there were some skeptical fans worried. Jackman has since tried to ease the nerves of die-hards by saying the film takes place before those events.

Director Shawn Levy (“Stranger Things”), who has recently worked with Ryan Reynolds on “The Adam Project” and “Free Guy,” was tapped to helm the film that had been shooting in the United Kingdom. He’s now talking about the film with Deadline and says the sequel is “very much an R-rated film,” reiterating every single other person from Disney or Marvel when speaking publicly about “Deadpool 3.”

“I’ll say this while making [‘Deadpool 3’], I only know how to make something that I love. Long before I loved Ryan Reynolds, I loved ‘Deadpool.’ ‘Deadpool 1’ is, to me, a perfect movie and so I wasn’t going to mess with the DNA of that franchise. Our movie is raw, its audacious, very much R-rated. We went to great lengths not to shoot it on soundstages with digital environments,” Levy said of the new sequel.

The filmmaker also suggested what films he’d compare “Deadpool 3″ to, I would say it’s more a descendant of ‘Mightnight Run,” and “48 Hours,” and “Planes, Trains & Automobiles.” I guess this means that Reynolds finally got his road trip Deadpool movie with Wolverine, which was said to be the original concept of his idea back when Fox was developing the film.

Filming isn’t expected to resume until the strikes have been resolved and with no end in sight, that likely means that fans should be preparing themselves for a release delay on a bunch of upcoming films, including “Deadpool 3” and other Marvel projects.

Nosferatu: Aaron Taylor-Johnson & Ralph Ineson Join Robert Eggers’ Vampire Flick

Filmmaker Robert Eggers (The Lighthouse) has been trying to get his vampire film Nosferatu off the ground for a while now and it’s now currently in production in Prague with the names of the cast tricklingly out slowly. A lovely bit of casting for the period horror film was just revealed by Deadline as Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Bullet Train, Outlaw King, Tenet) has been tapped for an undisclosed part in the remake of the classic 1922 German silent film. He’s also set for a second Marvel Comics role with the Sony film Kraven The Hunter, after playing the MCU version of Quicksilver in Avengers: Age of Ultron. One his more interesting parts was playing John Lennon in the biopic Nowhere Boy and sort of got on everyone’s radar after the R-rated comic book flick Kick-Ass.

Yorkshire actor Ralph Ineson (The Green Knight, Game of Thrones) is also said to have a role making this the third project he’s worked with Eggers. Ineson had a major role in The Witch, playing the family’s patriarch that leads them from their established community to build a life in the middle of the forest. He also shows up in The Northman in a small cameo towards the film’s climax.

The pair join a cast that consists of Lily-Rose Depp, Bill Skarsgard, Nicholas Hoult, Willem Dafoe, Emma Corrin, and Simon McBurney.

In the town of Wisbourg, estate agent Mr. Knock is pleased to receive a commission from Count Orlok to find a house for him. He dispatches his young assistant, Hutter, to Orlok’s castle in the far off Carpathians. He tells Hutter to get him to buy the vacant house just opposite Hutter’s own. Hutter arrives at his destination safely and the Count is all too eager to buy the proposed property especially after he sees a photo of Hutter’s pretty young wife Ellen. Hutter soon realizes the evil he’s dealing with and is locked away while Orlok makes his way by ship to Wisbourg. As Orlok travels to Wisbourg, plague descends in his wake and the people of Wisbourg begin to sense the coming of evil. Hutter eventually escapes Orlok’s castle determined to return home as quickly as possible but exhausted and ill, finds himself in hospital. Hutter nonetheless arrives home the same day as Orlok and the townsfolk begin to panic over the increasing number of deaths.

Marvel’s ‘Deadpool 3’ Confirmed To Shoot In The United Kingdom

Marvel Studios is getting ready to begin shooting their first big mutant project since landing the X-Men rights after the big merger between Disney and 21st Century Fox. With Deadpool 3 finally moving forward after early development back during the Fox era, we’ll get to see might be the end of the Singerverse and the third installment becoming the big swan-song with Hugh Jackman reprising the Wolverine one last time (before the main X-Men reboot at Marvel) with rumblings of other Singerverse actors possibly making their return too.

Back in October, The Ronin first learned that filming on Deadpool 3 would be taking place in the United Kingdom (a big pivot as the last two installments shot in Reynolds’ hometown of Vancouver) and this has now been confirmed via The Hollywood Reporter in an article about another upcoming project, Boy Band, as part of their breakdown of the actor’s upcoming filming schedule. Where they name London as the main location for Deadpool 3 as cameras are said to be gearing up to roll sometime in the spring.

Of course, there have been all sorts of theories of how Marvel Studios will ultimately bring Ryan Reynolds’ Wade Wilson into the hardline MCU (616 Universe), but we’ll have to wait a bit for real confirmation about the film’s story. One of the more mysterious elements of the film is the casting of Emma Corrin (Nosferatu, The Crown) as the film’s unnamed villain.

Deadpool 3, which if you’ve been hiding under a rock for the last five years has been confirmed to be getting an R-rating multiple times by everyone involved with the superhero pic and has a release date set for November 8, 2024. However, given how theatrical releases change all the time, it’s possible the project could be bumped into early 2025.

Emma Corrin Latest Addition To Robert Eggers’ Vampire Flick ‘Nosferatu’

British actress Emma Corrin (The Crown) was just revealed as taking a villain role in Marvel’s Deadpool 3 and they’ve also lined-up a rather exciting project alongside the MCU film. Deadline in their report about landing the MCU part, also mentions Corrin quietly landed another mystery part in Robert Eggers‘ remake of the classic 1922 silent horror film Nosferatu that features a vampire at the center of the story. Corrin joins an established cast that features Lily Rose-Depp, Bill Skarsgard, Nicholas Hoult, and Willem Dafoe. At one point, Anya Taylor-Joy and Harry Styles had been eyed for lead roles before others ultimately filled their parts.

Below is a logline for the original film from influential German director F.W. Murnau.

In the town of Wisbourg, estate agent Mr. Knock is pleased to receive a commission from Count Orlok to find a house for him. He dispatches his young assistant, Hutter, to Orlok’s castle in the far off Carpathians. He tells Hutter to get him to buy the vacant house just opposite Hutter’s own. Hutter arrives at his destination safely and the Count is all too eager to buy the proposed property especially after he sees a photo of Hutter’s pretty young wife Ellen. Hutter soon realizes the evil he’s dealing with and is locked away while Orlok makes his way by ship to Wisbourg. As Orlok travels to Wisbourg, plague descends in his wake and the people of Wisbourg begin to sense the coming of evil. Hutter eventually escapes Orlok’s castle determined to return home as quickly as possible but exhausted and ill, finds himself in hospital. Hutter nonetheless arrives home the same day as Orlok and the townsfolk begin to panic over the increasing number of deaths.

Eggers is likely best known for his debut feature The Witch that first introduced us to Taylor-Joy. He’s also released follow-up genre projects such as the maritime thriller The Lighthouse and the Viking revenge epic The Northman. Focus Features has yet to give a release date for Nosferatu while production is currently taking place in Prague.

‘Deadpool 3’: Emma Corrin Tapped To Play Villain In MCU Sequel

While we’re excited to see what Marvel’s X-Men reboot will end up looking like, fans will have to wait a bit longer for that. Meanwhile, we’ll be exploring the Singerverse/Fox era one more time with Deadpool 3 (title subject to change) set to bring back not only Ryan Reynolds‘ Wade Wilson but the funny man was able to finally able coax Hugh Jackman out of Wolverine retirement to dawn the claws one more time. It’ll technically become the first official mutant film to release in theaters.

We finally have our first big new casting addition thanks to a report from Deadline. They have revealed that British actress Emma Corrin (The Crown) has been selected to play the sequel’s villain. There is an expectation that filming on the pic that will be helmed by Shawn Leavy (The Adam Project, Stranger Things) will take place in the United Kingdom.

However, there aren’t any character details being mentioned making hard to know for sure if Corrin is playing someone established in X-Men mythology or someone new. There are plenty of female villains that Corrin could be playing such as Spiral, Death, Raven/Mystique, Emma Frost, and Mister Sinister’s cohort Madelyne Prior aka The Goblin Queen. Then again, they could be attempting a new villain or a combination of them from the comics.

Deadpool 3 is officially set to be released on November 8, 2025 and has long been confirmed by Disney/Marvel it’ll indeed keep it’s R-rating, like the previous installments with have a heap of extreme violence and cussing. It’ll be the first of the Marvel Cinematic Universe projects to skew for more mature audiences.

Reynolds, a producer and creative force on the franchise, has officially welcomed Corrin to the Deadpool family with an public post on his Twitter account that you can see below.
