Deadpool 2: 25 WTF Moments

24. Vanessa Gets Fridged

One of Deadpool 2's biggest disappointments is Vanessa being killed off by armed thugs in the movie's first 15 minutes. Considering how she was basically relegated to a damsel-in-distress role by the end of the first movie, fans were hoping to see her take a more active role in DP2, perhaps even assuming her Copycat persona from the comics.

Possibly due to her busy schedule filming Gotham, Morena Baccarin was limited to basically an extended cameo, appearing in several afterlife sequences throughout the film for a minute-or-so, and then being resurrected thanks to time travel in the mid-credits scene.

While Vanessa is at least alive for the next movie, if they're not going to do something actually interesting with her, then her death may as well have been permanent.
