Marvel Studios decided to release a brand new trailer for one of the most anticipated movies of 2024, Deadpool & Wolverine, and it has not let the fans down. The trailer showcases Hugh Jackman reprising his beloved character of Wolverine after many years and in his fan-favorite costume, yellow and blue. Director Shawn Levy at the CinemaCon shared with ScreenRant,
“As far as crafting the Deadpool and Wolverine story, I just felt priviledged every day because you’re talking about two massive movie stars in their most iconic roles. It also gave me an opportunity. It’s the third Deadpool movie, but it’s not Deadpool 3. It’s a different thing that’s very much Deadpool &Wolverine.”
The director added that the two actors’ characters are ready to showcase how to character-adventure. He said the movie is going to be gnarly and funny. One thing fans noticed in the newly released trailer was the appearance of Cassandra Nova, the evil twin sister of X-Men leader Professor X. The very talented actress Emma Corrin plays the character.
The plot of the movie has been kept under wraps ahead of its release. But the newly released trailer shows Wade, a.k.a. Deadpool, being used by the TVA to fix something that has been broken. Ryan Reynolds play Deadpool.

Created by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely, the character of Cassandra Nova was introduced in New X-Men #114 in 2001. She is classified as Mummudrai i.e., is an anti-self that each individual must fight to be born. Mummudrai is born on the astral plane bodiless and as a spirit. She is the de facto twin sister of Charles Xavier and has a personal vendetta against him.
Talking about their character during an interview with Empire Magazine, the actress said,
“I’ve watched Spider-Man and Black Panther. I was like, ‘Look, you’re going to debrief me into this. It’s such an intricate world. There’s so much to it. It’s an absolute mindf**k. All the language and the Easter eggs, and this person is related to that person who did this, and this person came back and this person’s dead. It’s amazing.”
Cassandra Nova is one of the most powerful villains in the X-Men series, starting with her surviving Xavier’s attempt to kill her. She continues to be a threat to X-Men as Xavier’s darkest, strongest, and most evil counterpart. She shares powers including telepathy, telekinesis, mind control, telepathic cloaks, and mental detection.
One of the reasons why Nova is considered one of the most powerful villains in the X-Men comics is because the character has nothing to lose. The character only exists to destroy. She is most infamous for commanding an army of Sentinels to massacre 16 million mutants in the mutant homeland of Genosha.

Nova has been ranked as one of the villains of the 21st century. It was reported that the actress’ depiction of the character is going to be original because the character has never appeared on screen before. This gives the actress much-needed time to bring their persona to the MCU villain.
Deadpool & Wolverine is scheduled for a release on July 26, 2024.
