Yet, the studio took a gamble with the sequel by toying with the formula in the hopes that it would expand the tangential franchise, notably with the presence of Beetz’s Domino.Ĭaptain America: Why Casting Steve Rogers Wasn’t So Easy for Marvel By Kayti Burt Indeed, 2016’s original Deadpool was a $782.8 million worldwide-grossing surprise hit (against a microscopic $58 million budget) that resonated with wide audiences and even redeemed a notorious moment in Reynolds’s career from his role as a now-anachronistic version of the character, Wade Wilson/Deadpool, in 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

It’s no surprise that Disney opted to continue the (R-rated, very-un-Disney) Deadpool films, even after the connected X-Men film franchise-a once-great bellwether branding for the comic book movie genre-went out on a double-header whimper with 2019’s derided and profit-deprived X-Men: Dark Phoenix and delay-plagued, ultimately-anemic 2020 spinoff effort The New Mutants.

Indeed, Beetz’s Domino not only proved to be an integral ally to Deadpool in the film, but was teased as a component for the studio’s ultimately-unrealized plans for an X-Force spinoff, presumably alongside Josh Brolin’s Cable. The mutant mercenary character, a creation of Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza, debuted in 1991’s The New Mutants #98-the same key issue in which Deadpool himself first appeared-and was clearly the focus of future movie plans by Fox, given the spotlight she received in the cinematic sequel. However, as plans for Deadpool’s debut in Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe slowly gestate, Zazie Beetz, who co-starred as mercenary Domino in 2018’s Deadpool 2, is clearly expressing a desire to rejoin Reynolds.īeetz, a German-American actress, debuted as Domino in Deadpool 2 coming off momentum from a role (that’s still ongoing) on FX television drama Atlanta. While Marvel’s X-Men movie franchise was engulfed by the overwhelming, Phoenix-like force of Disney’s 2019-completed acquisition of licensee studio Twentieth Century Fox, it’s almost poetic that Ryan Reynolds’s obscenely unkillable R-rated mutant movie star, Deadpool, will emerge from the fray as its first survivor.
