3) How Powerful Will Angel Dust Be?
Former MMA fighter turned actress Gina Carano will be starring in the film as the villainous Angel Dust. In the comics, the character is a mutant member of the Morlocks, with the power to elevate her adrenaline levels to provide her with super strength.
We don’t know for sure if the movie version will sport the same abilities, but she certainly looks to be pretty strong in the footage we see in the trailer. And, according to Carano, Angel Dust will be portrayed as Ajax’s right-hand woman, who previously went through the same program (don’t call it Weapon X!) that alters Wilson.
Given that, we’re assuming that the Angel Dust we see here will be pretty close to the one we got in the comics, who is only a very minor character and not actually a villain at all. Could we see Miss Dust switch sides in the movie, perhaps?
4) Blind Al Won’t Be Watered Down
The character seen above is named Blind Al, and will be played by Leslie Uggams (Roots, Nurse Jackie). In the comics, Deadpool has quite a bizarre relationship with his prisoner/house-guest, showing cruelty and warmth to her in equal measure. Al proves more than a match for him though – especially when it comes to the put-downs that they regularly trade.
In the red band trailer, she comments that Wade sounds like he has a “dick in his mouth” when he speaks, but we can’t have that kind of talk in a family friendly version, so in the green band trailer, she simply calls him a douche instead.
Al is actually a former British Intelligence officer and helps Deadpool out on a number of occasions in the comics, so it’ll be interesting to see how large a role she has in the movie.
