Deadpool 2: 8 Reasons To Be Excited

5. Negasonic Teenage Warhead

Brianna Hildebrand was already brilliant in the first Deadpool, so the fact she's returning for the sequel is plenty of cause to be excited.

A mutant with the ability to become a literal warhead, she has moved on from being a trainee X-Man in the first film, and has taken on a role as one of the team's leading operatives in the sequel. That's pretty rad, and while jokes about the film's lack of (or increase) in budget will surely accompany the character's return, it's great to see Fox exploring mutants who don't have six claws and chomp on cigars as and when they please.

Negasonic will again be accompanied by Colossus to fill the X-Men quota this time, but there's always potential for new arrivals to jump in and apply for full-team membership (Dennison's character being an obvious choice).

We're yet to see how the main X-Men series will continue after Dark Phoenix, but if Negasonic somehow doesn't make it onto the main roster at some point, Fox must be daft.
