Deadpool 3: A New Assembling of the Super-evil
Fans eagerly anticipate the third Deadpool flick featuring Ryan Reynolds. Not just for the characteristic irreverence and sharp humor, but also for the far-anticipated Marvel crossover. However, the hype around the movie is not just about the return of Ryan Reynolds or the rumored comeback of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine. It extends to the grim, new character Cassandra Nova that’s grabbing most of the attention.
Who is Cassandra Nova?
In the comics, Cassandra Nova is among the greatest X-Men adversaries. She retains the sinister aspect of being Charles Xavier’s evil twin, harboring psychic abilities similar to his. The character is a member of the “Mummudrai,” psychic ghosts that seek host bodies for their survival.
Nova’s formative encounter with Charles Xavier occurred in utero when she unsuccessfully attempted to kill him. This experience shaped her life’s mission—to kill Charles Xavier and all mutants alike. Reports suggest that this storyline could be carried forward into the MCU, making Nova an extremely menacing antagonist.
Will Nova be the Ultimate MCU Villain?
The film narrative purportedly faithfully recreates Nova’s ruthlessness, navigating her twisted mentality and disdain for life. The possibility of watching Emma Corrin transform into a formidable villain, who conducted a mass genocide against 16 million mutants in the comic book version, adds an intriguing dimension to the film.
MCU’s past villains, like Gorr the God Butcher, did not manage to convey an equivalent scale of evilness. The Deadpool & Wolverine saga could break this precedent by potentially presenting Nova as the craziest MCU villain yet. The key detail in this battle being Magneto’s helmet, speculated to be in her possession, further fuels this expectation.
Deadpool & Wolverine Multiverse Drama
While high hopes are pinned on Emma Corrin’s transformation, predicting her character’s role within the multiverse chaos is a tough task. The premise is loosely based on the “Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe” storyline, but with a twist.
The Deadpool character, instead of terminating all Marvel personalities, is anticipated to mark the end of Fox universe characters. Moreover, a considerable part of the movie is set in the Void, the finish line for individuals eliminated by the Time Variance Authority (TVA).
Present theories propose that Nova could be a casualty from another universe or perhaps the Professor Xavier of her realm. Nevertheless, to become an epic villain, more than just cruelty is required. A robust backstory and motivation will be essential for Corrin’s character to have a memorable impact as Nova.
Deadpool & Wolverine is expected to launch at movie theaters on July 26, 2024. Until then, we can only speculate and wait for what might be the most chilling villain in MCU history.
