Ryan Reynolds has confirmed that The Crown’s Emma Corrin will star in Marvel’s upcoming Deadpool 3. Corrin – who played Diana, Princess of Wales in The Crown and starred in Lady Chatterley’s Lover – was welcomed to the “Deadpool family” by Reynolds via a Tweet on Tuesday (February 14), confirming their addition to the cast.
Reynolds – who is reprising his role as the titular, foul-mouthed anti-hero – tweeted: “New addition to the family! The Deadpool family, for clarity. Which is just like a real family except with less swearing… Welcome, Emma Corrin!”
The Deadpool character first appeared on the big screen in 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine, before getting his own spin-off in 2016 followed by a 2018 sequel. Corrin is currently playing the title character in an adaptation of Virginia Woolf’s novel Orlando at London’s Garrick Theatre, directed by Michael Grandage.
