The Real Reason Negasonic Teenage Warhead Was In The Film

As a character with a relatively brief run on the pages of Marvel Comics and a comparatively small fanbase to those of other X-Men like Wolverine and Jean Grey, Negasonic Teenage Warhead is the perfect character to tweak a bit for the movies. In addition to expanding on her abilities and personality and offering Marvel fans a fresh take on the character, this decision allowed Brianna Hildebrand to take the character in new directions. Suffice to say, she didn’t shy away from taking full advantage of that opportunity.

«I could literally give her my own biography, I could give her whatever I wanted her to be. It’s been fun. I’m really excited about it,» Hildebrand told Collider in the lead-up to the theatrical debut of «Deadpool.» Since then, she has returned to the role of Negasonic Teenage Warhead via «Deadpool 2» to develop the young X-Men member further. Most notably, it’s revealed in the sequel that she’s in a relationship with X-Men teammate Yukio (Shioli Kutsuna) — a romance that will continue in the highly-anticipated «Deadpool 3.»

Though she’s still not among the most well-known Marvel characters, Negasonic Teenage Warhead’s unlikely appearances in the «Deadpool» films and Brianna Hildebrand’s hard work to make the character stand out have certainly raised her stock among comic book fans.
