Famed actor Ryan Reynolds has recently expressed his admiration for Emma Corrin‘s portrayal of the notorious Cassandra Nova in the upcoming film Deadpool & Wolverine.
Reynolds describes Corrin’s performance as dynamic and multifaceted, comparing the actor to a “skin-covered Swiss Army knife.” He shared his thoughts in an interview with Harpers Bazaar, praising Corrin for bringing a unique blend of mischief and danger to the role. “Emma brought a Gene Wilder energy to Deadpool & Wolverine,” Reynolds commented.
Not only does Reynolds hold Corrin in high esteem, but Hugh Jackman, who plays the iconic Wolverine, also commended the nuanced performance. Jackman highlighted Corrin’s ability to seamlessly transition between emotions, adding an undercurrent of danger to the character.
Who is Cassandra Nova?
Cassandra Nova, introduced in New X-Men #114, is the malevolent counterpart to Professor Charles Xavier, having been his twin in the womb. Despite being eradicated by Xavier due to her evil nature, Nova managed to resurface years later, boasting similar psychic abilities and commanding a legion of Sentinels to perpetrate a mass genocide against mutants on Genosha.
Corrin, new to the elaborate world of Marvel, voiced enthusiasm but also acknowledged the complexity of the universe. During a 2023 interview with Empire, Corrin admitted to not being versed in Marvel lore, “Hands up, I’m not a Marvel person,” but showed eagerness to dive into the role despite the challenges.
The film, directed by Shawn Levy, is eagerly anticipated and set for release on July 26th.
