Welcome to the Legion!

Today we have a new picture (via Empire) of Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, along with the official reveal of Brianna Hildebrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead. Reynolds had shared a set pic earlier, though this is a far better look at the character. Negasonic Teenage Warhead a.k.a. Ellie Phimister, was introduced in 2001 by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely in New X-Men, though she didn’t stick around for long. She was brought back in Astonishing X-Men.

 

The film is directed by Tim Miller, and stars T.J. Miller, Morena Baccarin, Ed Skrein and Gina CaranoDeadpool will hit theaters on February 12, 2016. Here’s hoping we get a better description for Morena Baccarin‘s character than the current “love interest.”
