GQ: Deadpool
Emma Corrin: yes, I can still breathe and avoid this madness. I had to have interviews.
The last time you spoke to us, you couldn’t talk about your character, Cassandra Nova. So, let’s get started. How many readings did you have to do?
In fact, in the end I didn’t do much. There’s a huge Marvel database online, which is interesting and very comprehensive. Each character has details, powers, and a story. And I read that and the most important thing that struck me was her origin story, being Charles Xavier’s evil double sister, and how he kills her in the womb with his powers and thinks she’s dead. Array And then it grows back into a sewer. It was helpful for me to know this whole story because of Wolverine’s presence in the movie, being the elephant in the room Charles Xavier when I first met Wolverine. Wolverine is in a way embodied in this film.
There’s a line from Cassandra where she says Professor X enjoyed Wolverine, and she never got to revel in it.
Exactly, that’s what drives all of Cassandra’s movements in the film.
What’s it like to bet on someone so powerful? You have scenes where you play with those two heroes. You are in control.
Yes, it was a normal role of strength to be in a situation where I felt that excessive imposter syndrome most of the time.
Okay, let’s move on to the spoilers. You have to kill Chris Evans, who plays Johnny Storm of the Fantastic Four in this movie. What did he do?
Absolutely crazy. I felt really bad when we were at the screening the other day, because we saw it after the premiere in New York with all those Lincoln Center fans full, and everyone so excited when they saw it appear on screen, and then, after 3 minutes. , I killed him. I felt bad. I hid in my seat. Yes, it’s weird. It’s not something I would have thought I’d do if you had asked me a few years ago.
It’s a moment.
That’s something that [Marvel] does so well, cameos. You know, they give others what they want. They give them cameos. But they don’t use them for loose either. Everyone is there for a reason. And I think you feel it. Or rather, I hope other people feel it, because I think they’re used very cleverly.
Yeah, I think the way it’s expressed in the movie is that they give closure to those characters.
Exactly. Everything everyone needs in this movie, from Cassandra to Wolverine to Gambit, everyone needs an ending. Everyone needs to be understood and feel like they matter. Was it great to feel a part of it?
Were you on set at the time as Chris Evans and Jennifer Garner?
I was on the same set as Chris, but I met Jennifer, Channing [Tatum] and Wesley [Snipes], but I don’t think we had a scene [together]. In fact, we didn’t film together.
What security measures have been taken for the cameos?
We filmed all of those scenes at Pinewood, which meant it was all very internal. Marvel Movies: As much as other people need spoilers, I think, and I hope other people understand too, that there’s nothing more satisfying for an audience member to watch the movie for the first time without knowing who’s going to appear on screen. You don’t need this wonder to be ruined.
So I think everyone on production knew that. And yes, they may feel the magnitude it would take. You deserve to have heard the screams when those guys made the impression on the screen. It was the most satisfying. It was so joyful. And he was only given something better.
I saw it at a critical screening, in an IMAX theater that was tenth full, and people applauded when Wesley Snipes appeared as Blade.
I was going to say, I wonder what the critics’ readings would have been, if everyone had tried to see this film very seriously, it makes me laugh.
What was the last scene you filmed?
I think it was the end of me. The Time Ripper. Which is extraordinary. It was a smart thing to get my hands on, everything was functional. We had this incredible set designer named Raymond Chan, who unfortunately passed away a few weeks after filming wrapped. He was in another league. I couldn’t see the sets we were filming on, we didn’t have anything on a green screen. The Time Ripper was a genuine thing that lit up, moved and worked. It was probably terrifying how genuine he was.
The question: Does Cassandra die?
I mean, does he die in the MCU? I feel like if this movie proves anything it’s that you can literally bring back sureArray. So maybe one day I’ll do a Hugh, pull over on the side of the road and say, ‘I have to do this!’
There’s a component of the movie where I felt like you were being presented as the big bad of the entire MCU.
What a statement, I understand. I mean, I’ve never been more nervous than in this theater. When we sat down and watched this with everyone a few days ago, I must have shivered, not only because it was so cold, but because [the air conditioning] in the United States was out of control, but it was also very scary. I felt a lot of pressure to do justice to this character because it’s the first time he’s given that impression on screen. And yes, you just need to satisfy the enthusiasts because those characters mean a lot to them. And yes, I hope I have done him justice. And obviously I would come back at any time.
