Deadpool 2: 8 Reasons To Be Excited

If it hasn't been made clear already, Deadpool 2 is quite literally jam-packed with talent. One of the talents involved is Zazie Beetz, who'll be playing Domino (Neena Thurman) - the on again, off again partner of Cable.

What makes Domino so special, however, is that she has one of the best mutations going. Gifted with telekinesis, Thurman can quite literally make her own luck. Her powers are usually triggered by stressful scenarios, so when the going gets tough, she's a brilliant hero to have in your corner.

Back to the film though, and there's no getting around the fact that Beetz is a tremendous pick for the role - one who'll no doubt have a major part to play in both its proceedings and in the upcoming X-Force movie, which will be written and directed by Drew Goddard (of Daredevil fame). That's awesome to hear, and again, while we're still yet to actually see Beetz performing as the character, that first promo shot was plenty to convince us that she'll own it come the film's premiere.

It's also likely that Domino's allegiances, like Cable's, will shift at some point. We have no idea if she'll be teaming up with Wade or the son of Summers at this moment - if there's even a team-up to be had - but even then it's just great to see another fan-favourite mutant make it to the big-screen.
