Deadpool director planned to make Negasonic Teenage Warhead a villain in the sequel

July 28, 2018 by Amie Cranswick

With Deadpool helmer Tim Miller opting against a return to the director’s chair on this year’s superhero sequel due to creative differences with Fox and producer and star Ryan Reynolds, actress Brianna Hildebrand has given us a hint at one direction that Deadpool 2 could have went had Miller remained on board the project.

Speaking to Red Carpet News TV, Hildebrand has revealed that Miller intended on having her character Negasonic Teenage Warhead switch up her allegiances and become a villain.

“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?’” said Hildebrand. “I was like, ‘That would be sick, yeah, sure, why not?’ And that’s definitely not the way that it went [laughs].”

Hildebrand went on to state that it “would be cool” if this played out in a future movie, although given Disney’s impending takeover of Fox, it seems very possible at this point that may have seen the last of Hildebrand’s Negasonic Teenage Warhead and the rest of the Deadpool cast.

Marvel’s motormouth mercenary is back! Bigger, better and occasionally more pantless than ever before. When a super soldier arrives on a murderous mission, Deadpool is forced to think about friendship, family and what it really means to be a hero – all while kicking 50 shades of ass. Because, sometimes, to do the right thing you need to fight dirty.

Deadpool 2 sees David Leitch (John Wick) directing a cast that includes returning stars Ryan Reynolds (Wade Wilson), Morena Baccarin (Vanessa), T.J. Miller (Weasel), Brianna Hildebrand (Negasonic Teenage Warhead), Stefan Kapicic (Colossus), Leslie Uggams (Blind Al) and Karan Soni (Dopinder) alongside new additions Zazie Beetz (Atlanta) as Domino, Josh Brolin (Avengers: Infinity War) as Cable, Terry Crews (Brooklyn Nine-Nine) as Bedlam, Lewis Tan (Iron Fist) as Shatterstar, Bill Skarsgard (It) as Zeitgeist, Rob Delaney (Catastrophe), Julian Dennison (Hunt for the Wilderpeople) as Russell, Jack Kesy (The Strain) as Black Tom Cassidy and Shioli Kutsuna (The Outsider) as Yukio.
