The Marvel Cinematic Universe is always expanding, to the joy of the fandom. When Disney acquired 20th Century Fox and its properties, it finally opened the door for the Deadpool franchise to join the shared universe. Deadpool 3 is now one of the most highly anticipated upcoming Marvel movies, partly thanks to the return of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. A new rumor claims that the movie’s villain has a direct tie to X-Men’s Professor X. And if they’re true, it would be a pretty wild choice for an antagonist.
Information about Deadpool's return to theaters has been slowly trickling out, including which actors will make up the ensemble. Deadpool 3’s cast list includes a number of returning actors, as well as newcomers like Emma Corrin. It was confirmed that Corrin will be playing the movie’s villain, but the actual character hasn’t been revealed by the studio just yet. And a rumor on Twitter claims that she’s playing X-Men villain Cassandra Nova. Let’s break down what that might mean.
