Gina Carano Is Angel Dust In Deadpool

On its way to the screen, Tim Miller's film of Deadpool has undergone a couple of serious leaks. First, a 2010 draft of the script went very wide; next, a reel of test footage went even wider. As a result, I bet there were a lot of fans surprised to hear from The Hollywood Reporter tonight that Gina Carano has been cast in the role of Angel Dust, a mutant and member of the Morlocks. She wasn't anywhere in either big leak. But the script has undergone some changes since 2010. How extensive? Well, I've seen some more recent documents that suggest the basic overall shape is still intact, it's just the details that have been remodelled. If you've read the original script, expect the same journey from motorway carnage to giant punchbowl. Angel Dust is a real presence in the film but by no means one of the leads. Nevertheless, I understand that Carano has been asked to sign a three picture deal. Does this mean that she'll be in Deadpool 2 and 3? No, it never does. And it certainly doesn't mean that there will be a Deadpool 2 and 3. But it does mean that Fox are thinking ahead on this series, and that's something. Still, when you do see the film, I wouldn't read too much into Deadpool's "boy band" joke. I doubt very much that it's setting up what you might think it does.
