Emma Corrin has finally spoken out about playing the main villain of Deadpool 3. The Crown breakout had a lot to learn, but now understands why these films mean so much to fans.
Earlier this year, Ryan Reynolds confirmed on his Twitter account that Emma Corrin would be joining the cast of Deadpool 3, with later releases confirming them to be playing the main villain of the film. While details about their character have been kept close to the chest, Corrin has spoken about how excited they are to finally play a villain, calling it an itch they needed to scratch, before detailing the process of being “debriefed” on the continuity of the franchise:
“I was like, ‘Look, you’re gonna have to debrief me into this.’ It’s such an intricate world. There’s so much to it, it’s an absolute mind-fuck,” Corrin told Empire. “All the language and the Easter eggs, and this person is related to that person who did this, and this person came back and this person’s dead… it’s amazing…I really understand why it means as much as it does to so many people…It’s a phenomenon, and I feel really lucky to be part of it. Especially Deadpool, because I love the fact that it’s self-aware, and critical of its own inner-workings.”
Given Deadpool 3 is set to bring back Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine to team up with Ryan Reynolds and early set photos showed a destroyed 20th Century Fox logo, the film is certainly going to be one full of references and in-jokes. Despite their unfamiliarity, Emma Corrin seems entirely invested as the main villain of the film, and their filmography suggests they’ll knock the role out of the park.
