Summary
New addition to the Deadpool 3 cast, Emma Corrin, refrained from disclosing the identity of the antagonist they portray. However, Corrin did highlight the necessity of enrolling in a Marvel beginners' class to comprehend the intricate realm.
Corrin enthusiastically shared their anticipation for portraying the role of an antagonist in a prominent superhero film. They specifically expressed their fondness for being part of a Deadpool movie, appreciating its clever self-awareness and its ability to scrutinize its own mechanics.
The exact origin of Corrin's villainous character remains uncertain, as they may have ties to either the X-Men universe or the MCU. Additionally, the character's potential connections to other Marvel figures and their potential ability to return from the dead adds to the intrigue.
Deadpool 3 actress Emma Corrin has discussed their role as the mysterious villain in the upcoming Marvel Studios film. As Wade Wilson joins the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Phase 5, Ryan Reynolds returns to portray Deadpool for the third installment. Although the castings for Deadpool 3 have been announced, specific plot details, including Corrin's character, are being tightly guarded.
Corrin, known for their role in The Crown, joined the Deadpool 3 cast in February. In the September issue of Empire, they spoke about their introduction to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, referring to it as a Marvel beginner's course, which involved familiarizing themselves with the returning characters and the deceased ones. Additionally, Corrin expressed their enthusiasm in portraying an antagonist in a superhero film of such magnitude, stating:
Shawn Levy, the director, arrived to meet with Orlando. I had heard rumors about the project, but as expected from Marvel, they remained tight-lipped and provided no information whatsoever. I had no clue. So when I met with Levy, I made it clear that I was completely unfamiliar with the subject matter. I must admit, I am not a die-hard Marvel fan. I have seen Spider-Man and Black Panther, but beyond that, I needed a thorough introduction. It is such a complex universe, filled with countless details and connections that can easily leave one's mind reeling. The intricate language, the hidden references, the interwoven relationships—it is truly astonishing. I now understand why it holds such extraordinary significance for so many people. It is a cultural phenomenon, and I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to be a part of it. Especially with Deadpool, as I admire its self-awareness and its willingness to critique its own inner workings. The prospect of playing a villain excites me greatly; it is a role I have yet to tackle and one that I am eager to explore.
Which Deadpool 3 Villain Emma Corrin Could Be Playing
Based solely on Corrin's statement, it appears that they will portray a character who not only resurrects but also has ties to other Marvel individuals. Whether this refers to the Marvel Cinematic Universe or the X-Men universe under Fox remains uncertain, as Deadpool 3 will incorporate both franchises, with Hugh Jackman reprising his role as Wolverine, and potential involvement of the Time Variance Authority. Considering these factors, it is more probable that Corrin's antagonist is from the X-Men universe. Nonetheless, the overarching question persists regarding the identity of their character in Deadpool 3.
One potential candidate for the role in Deadpool 3 is Angel Dust, portrayed by Gina Carano in the 2016 film. However, her character's fate was left uncertain, leaving the possibility of her returning from an off-screen death. With Corrin taking on the role in a recasting move, it is speculated that there may be unfinished business between Angel Dust and Wade after their initial encounter. Another possibility is that Corrin's character could be related to the X-Men, having faced an off-screen death before being resurrected.
As production for Deadpool 3 is currently on hold, it remains to be seen who Corrin is truly playing in the film and how they will impact the story. Once filming resumes and if there are any outdoor scenes, set photos may provide hints about their role. But for now, the identity of the villain that Corrin will portray in Deadpool 3 remains unknown.
