Emma Corrin, an actress known to the general public for portraying Princess Diana in the fourth season of The Crown, has joined the cast of Deadpool 3. In the upcoming movie starring Ryan Reynolds, the artist will play the role of a villain, whose identity has not yet been revealed.

In an interview with Empire, related to Murder at the End of the World and taken before the Hollywood strike, the actress, for whom the upcoming role will be her first appearance in the MCU, decided to talk about how she feels about this new professional challenge. Previously, Corrin was not given the opportunity to portray a villain.:

"I am extremely excited to play a villain. I've never done it before and I feel like it's a desire I have to satisfy."

The actress also told that when Shawn Lewy asked her to star in the new installment of Deadpool's adventures, he couldn't reveal too many details about the movie. Corrin herself, on the other hand, is not particularly familiar with Marvel productions, so the upcoming role will require her to expand her knowledge of the universe, which she immediately told the director.

"I'm not a big fan of Marvel, I've only watched Spider-Man and Black Panther. I said: 'Listen, you're going to have to introduce me to all this.' It's a complicated world. There's so much of everything, it can blow your mind. The language, the easter eggs, the connections between characters [...] - it's amazing. I understand. That's why it means so much to so many people."

For the moment, we don't know who the villain is that Emma Corrin will portray. Marvel is keeping details about this production under lock and key, so we will have to wait a little longer for official information.

Premiere of Deadpool 3 has been scheduled for May 3, 2024.
