Be that as it may, it turns out Negasonic Teenage Warhead was initially earmarked to be Deadpool 2‘s chief villain, long before the Fox sequel changed hands and David Leitch, co-director of John Wick and the creative mind behind Atomic Blonde, took charge at the helm.

Back in May, Brianna Hildebrand, the actor responsible for Negasonic Teenage Warhead (real name: Ellie Phimister), revealed this juicy little tidbit while appearing at MCM London Comic Con, where she spoke to Red Carpet News TV (h/t ComicBook.com) about how her adolescent anti-hero almost walked down a very different path during Deadpool 2.

I feel like every time I wish for something specific, maybe it doesn’t happen, or the opposite happens. I know that we switched directors for the second film, but I remember after the first film was over, Tim was like, ‘Wouldn’t it be great if your character was a villain next time?’ And I was like, ‘That would be sick, yeah, sure, why not?’ And that’s definitely not the way that it went [laughs].

Ultimately, Leitch and his team settled on Nathan Summers, the time-traveling bandit better know as Cable. He wasn’t the only headline-worthy addition to the Deadpool roster, of course, what with Domino (Zazie Beetz) and a whole host of X-Force wannabees in tow.

Those figures are expected to feature quite prominently in the Super Duper Cut of Deadpool 2. It’s officially a thing that exists, according to Ryan Reynolds, and will be available on Blu-Ray and DVD from August 21st – two weeks after its debut on digital (pre-order here). Those in attendance at SDCC this weekend can also clock eyes on the sequel’s uncut version.
