Deadpool has finally casted Domino. It was rumored that Janelle Monae was going to be Domino but Deadpool’s co-writer, Rhett Reese shut those down.
Ryan Reynolds tweeted and confirmed that Atlanta star, Zazie Beetz aka Van will be casted as Domino.
THR reports, producers were looking to specifically cast a black or Latina actress in the role of Domino.
Domino is a mercenary and a mutant, and her powers include the ability to manipulate probability in her favor, like Longshot. However, the full extent of her powers is still unknown. She’s also an exceptional markswoman and has training in various armed combat techniques and the martial arts, with Olympic-gold level athletic and acrobatic ability.
