Ryan Reynolds revealed that they had a completely different villain in mind for Deadpool and Wolverine.
As fans await the premiere of Deadpool and Wolverine, Cassandra Nova, played by Emma Corrine, will be a major threat to our heroes. However, Ryan Reynolds recently revealed that at one point, he was the main antagonist of another Marvel Comics villain.
Who was this villain?
In an interview with Collider, Ryan Reynolds admitted that they “flirted” with the idea of including Mephisto in the plot, but ultimately chose Cassandra, Charles Xavier’s twin sister. According to Reynolds, “Cassandra’s relationship with Professor X creates an interesting dynamic and a different focus.
Director Sean Levy explained on this decision: “We explored many versions of this story before deciding. To be honest, it was a terrible call from Hugh. [Jackman]But it was the idea of Cassandra Nova as Charles’s sister, which made a surprising and unique twist to the story.
The role of Jordan Peele
Among these revelations, Reynolds made an interesting comment about Jordan Pele: “We didn’t know what was going to happen from the beginning, but we wanted Pele to do something.” And he returned with nothing. Final offer.
Was Reynolds hinting that they wanted Pele to play Mephisto? It seems that Pele could have had a choice of characters if he had been interested.
Ever since WandaVision debuted, fans have been wondering about Mephisto in the MCU. She is expected to eventually make her acting debut in the Disney+ series Ironheart (rumors point to Sacha Baron Cohen in the role).
Classification and official summary
The MPAA gave the film an official R rating for “strong gory violence and language, gore and sexual references in the film”. The official synopsis reads: “Marvel Studios presents its most important crossover to date – Deadpool and Wolverine. Wade Wilson, aimless in his civilian life, is forced to don the Deadpool costume once again when his world faces an existential threat. He must convince the more reluctant Wolverine to join.”
