7. Morena Baccarin Is Copycat
If that choice of character and actress seemed a little out of left-field...well, that just seems to be Deapdool's bag. The film is full of them. Alongside Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Deadpool's squad also includes Vanessa Carlysle, better known as Copycat, a long-time member of X-Force. Hey, that's the comic where Deadpool first appeared! It's all connecting after all, that's nice. Morena Baccarin whose appeared in such geek-friendly fare as Firefly, Gotham, Stargate SG-1 and Homeland amongst other things will be playing Copycat in the Deadpool film. And she may very well get imported to the main X-Men franchise from the way things are going, since the character is pretty much Mystique. Well, Copycat is a little different from the character played by Rebecca Romijn in the early films and Jennifer Lawrence in the recent prequels (the latter confirmed she'd be ducking out of the series after the next instalment of the main X-Men franchise). She's blue skinned, can shapeshift, yes, but has white hair instead of red! And can copy people's super powers when she transforms!
