Former MMA star Gina Carano has carved out a nice place for herself in Hollywood and her latest role will have both MMA & Marvel fans geeked.
The Hollywood Reporter was first to report the Carano news:
Gina Carano has closed a deal to join Ryan Reynolds inDeadpool, Fox’s action movie based on the wisecracking mercenary Marvel character.
Carano will play a character known as Angel Dust. It is unclear how she fits into the proceedings, but in the Marvel comics, the character was part of an underground mutant group known as The Morlocks.
It’s nice to see that Deadpool will venture into some of the deeper factions of the X-Men/Marvel universe. There’s a lot of character that have been left out of prior films that can really add to the depth of these new movies.
Oh and there was another cool detail revealed…
fanboy alert: The Russian X-Men character known as Colossus is slated to appear in the movie.
