Deadpool 2 to Introduce Domino as Cable's Love Interest?

AsDeadpoolheads into its third week in theaters, some fans are already looking ahead toDeadpool 2. We reported earlier this month that 20th Century Fox has issued a green light for the sequel, with originalDeadpoolwritersRhett ReeseandPaul Wernickcoming back to work on the script. StarRyan Reynoldsrevealed duringDeadpool’s post-credit scene that the sequel will feature the iconicX-ForcecharacterCable. Today, we have a new report fromHeroic Hollywoodthat claims anotherX-Forcecharacter, Domino, will be making her debut in the X-Men movie universe.

Domino first appeared inX-ForceVol. 1 #11 in June 1992, and she was created byDeadpoolandX-ForcecreatorsRob Liefeldand Fabian Nicieza. She has exceptional marksmanship and hand-to-hand combat skills, but Domino is best known for her ability to alter other mutants' powers. Born Neena Thurman, Domino was one of only two people to survive a government program named Project: Armageddon, which gave her the ability to manipulate luck.

In the comics, Domino was an on-and-offlove interestfor Cable, so it seems like that story could unfold in the sequel. Very little is known about the follow-up’s plot at this point, and it isn’t known how far alongRhett ReeseandPaul Wernickare on the screenplay.Tim Miller, who made his directorial debut withDeadpool, is expected to return as well, alongsideRyan Reynolds. We don’t know quite yet how many otherDeadpoolcharacters will be back, such asMorena Baccarin,Gina Carano,T.J. MillerandBrianna Hildebrand.

20th Century Fox is also developing anX-Forcemovie, which has a script byJeff Wadlow(Kick-Ass 2). There have been rumors thatX-Forcemay move ahead beforeDeadpool 2, but if all these rumors are true, it seems that the sequel may end up setting up theX-Forcemovie instead. The studio is also developingThe New Mutants, which is rumored to featureBrianna Hildebrandas Negasonic Teenage Warhead.

After just 14 days in theaters,Deadpoolhas raked in a massive $250.2 million domestic and $266.4 million internationally for a global total of $516.7 million worldwide at thebox office. As this R-rated superhero adventure continues to defy all odds at the box office, 20th Century Fox will surely issue a release date and hopefully new details for the sequel very soon. What do you think about Domino potentially joiningDeadpool 2?
