Emma Corrin on Bringing Cassandra Nova to Life in Deadpool & Wolverine
When chatting with Screen Rant about whether the actor utilized previous material from either live-action Xavier, Corrin explains, "I did look back at those two performances. I hesitated before I did because I was like, 'Do I want to get too close? Will I still be able to make it my own?' But I found it really interesting how they portrayed someone whose power is very internal and telepathic in that telepathic world. I wanted to see if there were any bits that I could use or pay homage to that, obviously, fans would really enjoy. But in terms of the comics, we very much stay true to the comics in terms of Cassandra's look, the cap and the costume, and the weirdy fingers, and definitely, you'll see echoes of her origin story and her relationship of her brother are very prominent here in terms of her motivation."
Marvel Studios' Deadpool & Wolverine is in theaters now and is available in various formats including IMAX, RealD 3D, Dolby Cinema, and 4DX. Did you enjoy the live-action debut of Cassandra Nova?
