Since the release of the official Deadpool 3 teaser, speculation abounds regarding Cassandra Nova’s role as the primary antagonist. Emma Corrin’s recent addition to the cast fueled these discussions. Although her character’s identity remained undisclosed, many conjectured she’d portray Cassandra Nova. But is this true? Here, we delve into all available insights regarding Cassandra Nova’s potential villainous role in Deadpool 3.
Spotting Cassandra Nova in the Deadpool 3 Teaser
The Deadpool 3 teaser unleashed a seismic wave across the internet. Yet, one particular scene has ignited fervent discourse within the fandom.
At 1 minute and 17 seconds in the teaser, a bald figure briefly appears with pointy ears. Initially resembling Professor X, the character appears too young.
This age discrepancy suggests an intentional clue, possibly hinting at Cassandra Nova, the anticipated new villain.
Who is Cassandra Nova?
In X-Men comics, Cassandra Nova is technically Charles Xavier’s sister. She originates from an extra-dimensional race called The Mummudrai, entities of consciousness that inhabit wombs alongside powerful fetuses.
These beings replicate the fetus’s genetic structure, growing alongside it as their perfect anti-self or an evil version.
While Charles Xavier was in the womb, Cassandra Nova, in a body-less form, attached itself, copied Xavier’s DNA, and grew alongside him as an evil version.
Upon sensing the evil presence, Xavier attempted to kill it. The infant, presumed stillborn, survived and became Cassandra Nova, a psychic as powerful as Professor X but purely evil, intent on destroying all dear to Charles.
Cassandra Nova Powers & Abilities
Regarding her powers, Cassandra Nova possesses every ability inherent in Charles Xavier. As a genetic duplicate of Xavier, she duplicates his capabilities entirely. Yet, owing to her extradimensional origin, she may surpass him, possessing powers he hasn’t yet manifested.
In the comics, Cassandra Nova demonstrates telekinesis, astral projection, mutant detection, and telepathy. Additionally, she possesses a healing factor, magic immunity, soul manipulation, and phasing abilities, rendering her superior to Professor X.
Rumors and casting suggest Emma Corrin, famed as Princess Diana in The Crown, will portray Deadpool 3’s villain, Cassandra Nova. However, her exact role, whether as the main antagonist or in collaboration with another villain, remains undisclosed.
Additional Villains in Deadpool 3 Trailer
Besides Cassandra Nova, the teaser reveals two more antagonists. Firstly, Pyro, a mutant wielding fire manipulation, reprises his role after debuting in X2 and X-Men: The Last Stand. Secondly, Doctor Doom is expected to make an appearance.
In the Deadpool 3 teaser, a character appears in attire resembling Doctor Doom, but it’s unlikely to be him due to significant design differences.
Before the Wolverine tease, Deadpool is shown lying on the ground with a Secret Wars comic cover nearby, known for Doctor Doom’s villainy. This could hint at the Fantastic Four movie, but Doctor Doom’s presence in Deadpool 3 seems improbable.
The teaser offers little insight into the movie, aside from Deadpool’s mission to rescue the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Its primary function is to tease, leaving further details for the trailer or the film itself.
