Marvel Did Not Want Emma Corrin to Bulk Up For ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’
When Emma Corrin first landed the role of the main antagonist in the upcoming Marvel Studios film Deadpool & Wolverine, they thought they would have to go through significant physical changes.
As it turns out, however, that is not exactly what Marvel had in mind.
“This is funny because I did ask if I could have a personal trainer and they said no,” Corrin told British GQ. “They said I don’t have to undergo any physical training. I was so ready to undergo a huge transformation but they were like, ‘That’s absolutely not required of you. Please stand down.’ I tried.”
A Different Kind of Villain
In the third Deadpool installment, Corrin will play Cassandra Nova, Charles Xavier’s evil twin sister. While much of the character’s backstory has been kept under wraps, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Corrin revealed that Ryan Reynolds and Shawn Levy took inspiration from Christopher Waltz’s character, Hans Landa, in Inglorious Basterds.
“He’s so disarmingly polite and nice and unaffected, and it’s really creepy,” Corrin said. “It’s all the more sinister because he doesn’t need to do anything.”
According to Corrin, Cassandra has an insidious nature.
“Ryan and Shawn pitched this idea, which I was totally on board with: ‘We want this villain to not be a villain in the sense that you expect them to be. We want you to be so endeared by her, so charmed by her, and just when you think that maybe she’s totally seen into your soul and you are going to be best friends for life, you’re dead.’”
Fans will get a chance to see Corrin in action, and learn Cassandra Nova’s backstory, when Deadpool & Wolverine hits theaters on July 26.
