Deadpool 3 Finally Reveals The Villain’s Powers

In the «Deadpool & Wolverine» trailer, Emma Corrin’s Cassandra Nova teases her incredible power potential. She’s first shown stepping out of the mouth of what appears to be Ant-Man’s gigantic skull. As Wolverine and Deadpool fight each other, the character sips on her tea and says, menacingly, «Boys are so silly.»

Nova’s powers get spotlighted as Wolverine tries to kill her, lunging at her with his unsheathed Adamantium claws, ready to slice and dice. However, his attempt to kill her ends quickly, as Nova uses her psychic abilities to easily stop the X-Man’s attack. Instead of being stabbed, she makes him skewer himself before directing his claws up in the air and sending them down into the ground. Nova is later seen when Wolverine and Deadpool leap from one of the Ant-Man skull’s eye sockets and escape through a portal, suggesting their encounter with her might not go as planned or that she’s just one villain they meet as they traverse across worlds. Regardless, Professor X’s evil twin’s live-action debut is absolutely terrifying.

While Nova’s story or connection to Deadpool and/or Wolverine in the movie remains a mystery for now, it seems she’s responsible for the death, chaos, and calamity of the latter’s said-to-be-destroyed world. If so, Logan has a deeply personal reason to take out Nova, but he’ll need all the help he can get from other heroes, including Deadpool, to make it happen, as she’s clearly able to easily overpower him one-on-one.
