Although the specific character Plaza auditioned for in Deadpool 2 remains uncertain, there is speculation that she may have been considered for the role of Domino. Nevertheless, Plaza's casting in Agatha: Darkhold Diaries opens the door to a possibly more significant part in the future of the MCU.

Aubrey Plaza has disclosed that her initial audition was for a part in Deadpool 2 before ultimately landing a role in the MCU. Plaza is well-known for her portrayal of April Ludgate in Parks and Recreation, Julie Powers in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, and Harper Springer in The White Lotus. Additionally, she has previously appeared in Marvel's realm, playing Lenny Busker, also known as the Shadow King, in Legion on FX, which is connected to the X-Men franchise by 20th Century Fox. Recently, she has been cast alongside her Parks and Recreation co-star Kathryn Hahn in the undisclosed role of the Agatha: Darkhold Diaries in the MCU.

In an interview with Cosmopolitan, Aubrey Plaza revealed that she auditioned for an unspecified role in Deadpool 2 while she was filming Legion. This would have given her the opportunity to act alongside Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson and Josh Brolin as Cable.

What Role Could Aubrey Plaza Have Played In Deadpool 2?

Aubrey Plaza's role in Deadpool 2 remains undisclosed, but it is likely that she would have been considered for the character of Domino. However, Zazie Beetz's portrayal of Domino was highly acclaimed, leading to calls for her return in Deadpool 3. This suggests that it was a wise decision not to cast Plaza in the role.

Fortunately, Plaza's availability allowed her to join Phase 5's Agatha: Darkhold Diaries in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While her specific character has not been revealed, it is speculated that she could be playing Morgan le Fay, a renowned witch, or even an original character named Rio Vidal. Plaza is expected to be a part of Agatha Harkness' group of witches, which may hint at a larger role for her in the future of the MCU. This opportunity would not have been possible if she had been cast in Deadpool 2.
