Why Emma Corrin Didn’t Need A Physical Transformation To Play Cassandra Nova
Corrin elaborated in the same interview about playing the Marvel villainCassandra Nova inDeadpool & Wolverineand why a physical transformation wasn’t necessary, per Marvel Studios. While talking about bringing Cassandra to life in the MCU, Corrin revealed a surprising inspiration for their portrayal of the villain that was brought up by Reynolds and director Shawn Levy. According to Corrin, Levy, and Reynolds had looked to Christopher Waltz’s performance of Hans Landa in Quentin Tarantino’sInglourious Basterds.
This was a sentiment that Corrin agreed with, as they stated,“He’s so disarmingly polite and nice and unaffected, and it’s really creepy. It’s all the more sinister because he doesn’t need to do anything.“To this point, Cassandra has only been featured briefly in theDeadpool & Wolverinetrailers. However, it has been made very clear that she is a force to be reckoned with in theDeadpool & Wolverinestory.
SinceDeadpool & Wolverinewill be the first time Cassandra Nova is adapted from the comics, it will be exciting to see the MCU’s spin on the character. With her ties to Charles Xavier, as she is canonically his sister (sort of), time will tell howDeadpool & Wolverinewill tackle that aspect of her character. The world will know in a matter of weeks what kind of impact she will have inDeadpool & Wolverineas the film finally arrives in theaters this month.
