Is Kerry Washington testing?

Looks like we might have an idea of what Domino will look like in Deadpool 2, thanks to That Hashtag Show (who admittedly have a pretty inconsistent record on "scoops"). They're apparently uncovered a character breakdown of the character, who will debut in the sequel to Ryan Reynolds' game-changing R-rated comic book movie.

Here's the shape of it:

Female, All ethnicities, Late 20s – early 30s Sexy, lithe and athletic. She has a witty personality. Neena is a no-nonsense badass who rarely shows her feeling. Highly capable, supremely confident and armored in… well ARMOR… and bullet-proof sarcasm. But beneath her shell she’s still and vulnerable and some soft, beating remnant of her humanity remains intact. In this scene we need to see both sides. When she can’t get what she needs with insults, bluster and threats we need to see some of that vulnerability. It’s hard for her to let down her guard, and in the mercenary community she grew up in showing compassion is almost embarrassing. We should feel like she’d be more comfortable killing Silberman than saying “Please”.

Sounds about right; a hard-ass merc for Deadpool to bounce off and terrorise. You can almost see that dynamic already.

The same source claim that both Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Sienna Miller have already turned down the role, but that Django Unchained's Kerry Washington is testing for it. So too is whoever is playing Cable, presumably, since that big information hasn't leaked yet either.
