The buzz around Deadpool & Wolverine reached new heights with the trailer amassing 365 million views in its first day.

Amidst this anticipation, speculation has been confirmed: Emma Corrin is set to play Cassandra Nova, the formidable villain and psychic twin of X-Men’s Professor X.

Cassandra Nova’s character is known for her destructive nature and vendetta against her brother, Charles Xavier, having attempted to destroy everything Xavier holds dear, including the X-Men.
