The effect can get pretty unnerving when you watch it, and Marvel Entertainment has just released a BTS look at how exactly they pulled it off for the movie. Check this out:
Get a behind-the-scenes look at how Cassandra Nova’s fingers go under people’s skin and in their minds, with Deadpool & Wolverine VFX Supervisor Swen Gillberg.
Though the movie did shoot some references of the actors playing out the roles, a lot of the effect was actually brought to life with full CG models. As it turns out, when Cassandra is tormenting Paradox in the film, it’s actually a full CG head that we’re seeing get messed up onscreen.
On the other hand though, sometimes the movie will just replace one part with CG—like the moment where Cassandra pokes into Wolverine’s head; they only ended up replacing Hugh Jackman’s forehead digitally for that scene.
With more and more reveals just coming out for Deadpool and Wolverine, we should expect Marvel to drop some more interesting behind-the-scenes looks before the movie actually gets a home release. Besides the legacy heroes and this VFX shot, there’s so much more the movie could delve into, like the new costumes or the characters they kept from the Fox universe.
I’m just here hoping for a specific timeline breakdown of where everyone is from and how they’re going to connect to the overall MCU.
Deadpool and Wolverine is now showing in theaters.
]]>Here’s the first teaser for Nosferatu:
Here’s the official description:
Robert Eggers’ NOSFERATU is a gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her, causing untold horror in its wake.
Bill Skarsgard is set to star as the titular Count Orlok, but oddly enough, they didn’t even reveal his Nosferatu look for this teaser—no doubt it’s something they’re saving for the full trailer. Though Skarsgard is a now show, we do have a look at all the other big names showing up in the film including Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Nicholas Hoult, and Emma Corrin. The film also brings back some of Eggers’ previous collaborators including Ralph Ineson and Willem Dafoe.
If you’ve watched an Eggers flick before, you’ll know that he can definitely set a mood, and while his last film The Northman wasn’t really a horror tale, a story like Nosferatu can make perfect use of Eggers’ signature style.
With the movie set to release in December, it’s possible that we could get our first look at Count Orlok around August. A lot of hype has been surrounding Skarsgard’s final look in the film. Eggers has even said about the look, “I’ll say that Bill has so transformed, I’m fearful that he might not get the credit that he deserves because he’s just… he’s not there.”
Catch Nosferatu when it drops in theatres this Christmas Dec. 25.
]]>Check the trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine out:
Though we know that Wade gets hired by the TVA to be ‘Marvel Jesus’, we also get a bit of background on this version of Logan. It does look like this Wolverine is the reason his world is dead and him teaming up with Deadpool will be his redemption arc.
Besides a lot of Logan, we also get a look at Cassandra Nova (Emma Corrin), who looks to be the main villain of the series. In the comics, Nova is Professor X’s ‘dark twin’ who Xavier tried to kill while they were in the womb together—no, seriously.
It looks like Nova is the one who runs this 20th Century Fox Marvel wasteland, and we get to see some discarded characters from early X-Men films including Lady Deathstrike (X-Men 2), Azazel (X-Men: First Class), and Callisto (X-Men: The Last Stand). Even when Nova is instroduced, we see her getting off of what some assume is Charles Xavier’s wheelchair.
Of course, we should also expect some references to non-Fox properties in Deadpool & Wolverine. We get to see Alioth, the cloud monster at the end of time from Loki; and Nova’s base of operations looks to be the dead body of Giant/Ant-Man—something right out of Old Man Logan.
So far, a very obscure cameo-fest looks to be happening, but I am hoping that director Shawn Levy and Ryan Reynolds have a meaningful story in mind for Deadpool’s jump into the MCU. I’m just honestly hoping this doesn’t mean 10 more years of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine because I would love for someone else to finally take on the role.
Deadpool & Wolverine is set to come into theaters on July 26.
]]>According to @MyTimeToShineH, the TVA will be rounding up the ‘Prime’ versions of heroes across the Marvel multiverse to gather them for an army against Kang. Here’s the post:
Deadpool 3 is about the TVA picking up the PRIME versions of each hero to create a multiversal army to fight the Kangs. And they picked Hugh Jackman's Wolverine to recruit but he's not fully on board. That is what the movie is about. pic.twitter.com/GhtFZBz4OO

We don’t know if this is official yet, but it does line up with rumors that the movie will contain multiple versions of the same hero; one Wolverine variant is said to be played by none other than ‘short king’ Daniel Radcliffe. The film is also rumored to bring back Jennifer Garner’s Elektra and maybe someone from the Fox version of Fantastic Four.
New cast members for the film include Matthew Macfadyen (Succession) and Emma Corrin (The Crown). It’s unclear who they could be playing in the film, but Macfadyen is expected to be someone from the TVA, and some are guessing that Corrin could be Gwen Poole a.k.a. Gwenpool, a character from the comics who has the same 4th-wall-breaking ability that Wade does, except that she can use this to actually alter the story—much like what She-Hulk does in her Disney+ show.
For now, fans are just left to speculate, and with the SAG AFTRA Strike currently ongoing, we might have to wait even longer for Deadpool 3 to finally release in theaters. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.
Deadpool 3 is currently eyeing a release on May 3, 2024, but that could be subject to change.
]]>One new cast member is Emma Corrin (The Crown), who still has an undisclosed role, but in a recent interview with Empire, she confirms that she’s playing a villain. She says, “I feel really excited to play a villain… haven’t done that, and it’s an itch I want to scratch.”
No details have been released on who Corrin could be playing, but some fans online have been throwing up several different characters including X-Men’s Spiral. Personally, I was suspecting that she was playing Gwen Poole a.k.a. Gwenpool, a character who also had Deadpool’s meta self-awareness. Though that Gwen is no doubt a ‘good guy’ in the comics, she does have an ‘Evil’ alternate version of herself that is able to take her meta-awareness to the next level and actually alter reality—perfect for a character like Deadpool and Wolverine who can’t be defeated physically.
In the same interview, Corrin does admit that she isn’t ‘a Marvel person,’ but she is very eager to be part of the Deadpool franchise. She says, “It’s a phenomenon, and I feel really lucky to be part of it. Especially Deadpool, because I love the fact that it’s self-aware, and critical of its own inner-workings.”
We don’t know when the film would be ready to give us a look at Corrin’s character officially, but Deadpool 3 is aiming for a release on Nov. 8, 2024. Let’s hope the SAG AFTRA and WGA Strike don’t push it back too far.
]]>As announced by Ryan Reynolds, Emma Corrin has been cast in an undisclosed role in Deadpool 3:
New addition to the family! The Deadpool family, for clarity. Which is just like a real family except with less swearing… Welcome, Emma Corrin!

No details have been revealed about Corrin’s role in the film yet, but fans are already going into speculation mode. With the movie said to be dealing with alternate timelines, some think that Corrin could be playing a Deadpool variant in the form of Lady Deadpool, who runs the Deadpool Corps with several other variants of Deadpool.
One other fan spec is that she is playing the role of Gwen Poole a.k.a. Gwenpool, who is neither Gwen Stacy nor a Deadpool variant. In the comics, Gwen is a character from our ‘real world’ and finds herself transported to the Marvel Universe. Using her knowledge of all-things-Marvel, Gwen manages to lead her own superhero life, crossing over with several other characters like MODOK and even Deadpool himself.
I guess if Gwen did have a super power, it’s that she’s also able to break the fourth wall, but unlike Wade, she actually uses her power in a way to alter her reality. Her story can get ridiculously meta, but if there was a time to introduce her, I think the third DP movie would be perfect.
Then again, it’s all just speculation. With the movie set to come out later next year, it will probably be a while before we get a new update.
Catch Deadpool 3 when it hits theaters Nov. 8, 2024.
