10. Emma Corrin's Cassandra Nova

The trailer provides our first proper glimpse of the movie's villain, Cassandra Nova, as played by The Crown's Emma Corrin. 

Though we don't get much context at all for Nova's place in the story, it's clear that she's not terribly amused by the presence of the titular pair, and is seemingly able to effortlessly overpower even Wolverine.

This is because, going by her comic book origins, she's the twin sister of Charles Xavier - hence the bald head.

A parasitic life form who managed to survive being killed by Charles in the womb, Cassandra is a genocidal maniac in the comics, and there's no reason to believe she's not the very same here.
