Deadpool and Wolverine star explains Marvel villain Cassandra Nova's mysterious motivations, and how they're intrinsically linked to Professor X

Emma Corrin as Cassandra Nova in Deadpool and Wolverine.

As everyone knows by now, Deadpool and Wolverine is set to see the titular heroes team up. While Marvel has kept the plot relatively under wraps pre-release, we know that the unlikely duo will be tasked with saving the former's friends and family from some TVA-related disaster. They'll also face off against villain Cassandra Nova...

With only the trailers – which don't feature all that much of the bald baddie – to go on so far, it's unclear as to how Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) and Logan (Hugh Jackman) get tangled up in the dastardly plans of Professor X's sinister sibling. Or what said dastardly plans even are for that matter... With that, we couldn't help but ask actor Emma Corrin just what Cassandra is up to in the movie, and while they couldn't get into specifics, they noted that the character's motivations are all fueled by X-Men founder Charles Xavier and their shared dark history.
