Rumor has it Emma Corrin is playing a surprising X-Men villain from the past in Deadpool & Wolverine… Now, it looks like the latter has been confirmed.

Introduced in 2001sNew X-Men#114, Cassandra Nova has similar telekinetic and telepathic powers to Charles Xavier.

It effectively kicked off a new era of X-Men comics led by writerGrant Morrisonand artist Frank Quitely.

“A Murder at the End of the World” – “Chapter 4: Family Secrets” (airs November 28th) Pictured: (l-r) Emma Corrin as Darby Hart.

This is obviously why she hates Xavier and mutantkind as a whole.

Which is likely where Hugh Jackmans Wolverine and the other blasts from Foxs X-Men past come in.

Deadpool & Wolverine is out on July 26.
