Deadpool & Wolverine’s new trailer yesterday didn’t really give fresh details on what the film’s going to be about, beyond the vague threat of multiversal shenanigans and Wade and Logan’s team-up. But it did give us ourfirst really good look at one of the several villains the movie is playing with—and one of the most infamous antagonists in X-Men comics.
That is of course, Cassandra Nova, who will be played by Emma Corrin.
