To celebrate Deadpool & Wolverine's Disney+ debut, Ryan Reynolds has shared a new deleted scene from the movie on his social media accounts.
The sequence takes place immediately after the Deadpool Corps decide to stop fighting so they can celebrate the arrival of Peter. Earth-10005's Merc with the Mouth decides to join in and share how his Peter gave him a sense of belonging...only to be immediately met with a chorus of insults from the Corps.
"Get f***ed, d***head," Kidpool tells him before another chimes in to say, "Go back to Canada, a**hole."
However, the biggest insult comes when Welshpool - played by Wrexham footballer Paul Mullins - gives Wade Wilson two fingers and shouts, "F*** off, c***!" Yes, Deadpool & Wolverine very nearly featured the Marvel Cinematic Universe's first true C-bomb.
Of course, the movie did include the line "thunderc*** from down underc***" but...

Before Deadpool & Wolverine became one of the biggest movies of the year, there were many different concepts for what the movie could be, including one that would have revealed that Wade Wilson had been in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) the entire time.
“We had a ‘Deadpool’s Deleted Scenes Extravaganza’ where we were going to try and show that he was in the MCU the whole time – you just didn’t see his scenes, they were all on the cutting room floor,” executive producer Wendy Jacobson explained on Assembled: The Making of Deadpool & Wolverine, adding they were “really just trying to find a reason for this movie to be.” It would have been a fun idea, but once Hugh Jackman entered the picture as Wolverine, the film found its purpose.

As we mentioned a little earlier today, Deadpool & Wolverine is now streaming on Disney+. With a record-breaking $1.3 billion at the worldwide box office, we're guessing most of you have seen it already; now, though, you can watch it at home whenever you like.
While doing so, you might want to grab some popcorn. Perhaps you can put that in one of the highly sought-after Wolverine popcorn buckets released earlier this summer?
However, you probably shouldn't take any cues from the Merc with the Mouth while doing so! Yes, he uses it in exactly the Nsfw way you'd expect.
We know Ryan Reynolds and Leslie Uggams recently reunited to shoot additional material and it looks like that will mostly take the form of promo videos like this (we'd imagine something is coming for Christmas and the rest will be used for the threequel's planned FYC campaign).

Deadpool & Wolverine is now streaming on Disney+, and Marvel Studios has just shared a few new posters for the movie highlighting some very different - and undeniably intriguing - team-ups we didn't get to see.
The first shows Cowboypool and Old Man Logan fighting side-by-side, while the second features Wolverine surrounded by an endless supply of Deadpool Corps Variants. Finally, we get Dogpool and a literal Wolverine, a team-up we really wish had made it into the threequel.
Ryan Reynolds and filmmaker Shawn Levy previously said there are "hundreds" of Easter Eggs in Deadpool & Wolverine that fans have yet to spot.
"I'll give this one away: when I punt Wolverine's adamantium skull toward camera, and I say, 'Maradona goal,' and it goes up, if you really look closely, you'll see that his prisoner number from Les Mis is engraved in the back of the throat of...

Deadpool & Wolverine spends a lot of time in The Void and the background is littered with Easter Eggs for Marvel fans.
Among them was the only 20th Century Fox logo, of course, not to mention a Helicarrier, the Benatar, and a colonial ship many theorised might be Russell Crowe's vessel from Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World.
According to filmmaker Shawn Levy, that's not the case. However, another famous ship was considered and it would have led to an unexpected crossover with a classic Fox movie.
"We were going to have the Titanic in it," the filmmaker told Entertainment Weekly after giving the VFX credit for coming up with much of The Void's detritus. "There are some Fox-centric Easter eggs. In fact, I think Nakatomi Tower [from Die Hard] is in there, as well as the Cn Tower, weirdly. So, Canada wins!"

Deadpool & Wolverine proved that Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman (as well as director Shawn Levy) are a force to be reckoned with. It’s only a matter of time before the trio reunite, and that could be coming sooner than we think.
During a recent interview for the Variety Awards Circuit Podcast, Reynolds revealed that he will be spending the year “writing a movie for myself, Hugh [Jackman] and Shawn [Levy] to do that is not Marvel.” He wouldn’t elaborate on what type of project this is, but Variety notes that “his enthusiasm hinted at something fresh and unexpected.“
Although this project isn’t a Marvel movie, there has been speculation that Reynolds and Jackman could return to the MCU for the upcoming Avengers movies. As Deadpool & Wolverine gave Marvel its biggest success in several years, I can’t imagine we’ve seen the last of them.

I have been down on Marvel superhero films, for a long time. I was trashing them before it became cool. It was in April 2020 that I said the following, in my review of Hellboy 2 (a brilliant film).
In ten years time everyone is going to be saying “The Marvel films were actually quite rubbish, for the most part, weren’t they?”. This is because, they are. I enjoyed the odd one here and there (Guardians of the Galaxy) but for the most part, they are bad films. The Avengers have taken the traditionally accepted plot and story arc conventions of film making and torn them up. Why have Oreos when we can have double stuffed. Why...

Odin’s Eye Entertainment has come on board as international sales agent to “Stealing Pulp Fiction,” an audacious heist comedy from director Danny Turkiewicz. The company will launch it to overseas buyers at the American Film Market that starts in Las Vegas this week.
It had its world premiere at the Newport Beach Film Festival on Oct. 19. And is set for a U.S. theatrical release in early 2025 through Giant Pictures.
The film follows a group of hopelessly ambitious misfits in their attempt to steal Quentin Tarantino’s personal 35mm print of his iconic film ‘Pulp Fiction.’ But what begins as a simple heist quickly spirals into a chaotic adventure filled with unexpected twists and comedic mishaps.
It stars Karan Soni (“Deadpool 2”), Jason Alexander, Cazzie David and Jon Rudnitsky (“Home Again”).
Adapted from Turkiewicz’s 2020 short film of the same name, “Stealing Pulp Fiction” was produced by Ben Shields Catlin,...

The prize catch of the title isn’t exactly who you might expect in “A Nice Indian Boy,” a romantic comedy that brings a welcome queer angle to that substantial subgenre of love stories tangled up in Indian social mores and cross-generational family politics. In many such films, Naveen (Karan Soni) would be the most desirable of matches for a female protagonist: good-looking, well-spoken and a working doctor. That he’s gay puts him in the less traditionally masculine role of the one seeking a suitor; that his “nice Indian boy” is in fact Jay (Jonathan Groff), a white man raised in Naveen’s culture, is the more complicating factor in director Roshan Sethi’s bright, big-hearted if overly tidy third feature.
Still, Sethi and screenwriters Eric Randall — adapting a stage play by Madhuri Shekar — aren’t out to subvert every trope and tradition in the book. From its meet-cute...

After a record-smashing run in theaters worldwide over the summer, Marvel Studios’ superhero flick Deadpool & Wolverine, teaming Ryan Reynolds’ Merc with a Mouth and Hugh Jackman’s Adamantium-clawed Marvel mutant, has been set to begin streaming on Disney+ on November 12.
Surpassing Joker to become the highest-grossing Rated-r film of all time, the Deadpool threequel opens on a listless Wade Wilson (Reynolds) toiling away in civilian life. His days as the morally flexible mercenary, Deadpool, behind him. But when his home world faces an existential threat, Wade must reluctantly suit up again with an even more reluctantlier… reluctanter? Reluctantest? He must convince a reluctant Wolverine (Jackman) to… oh hell, just watch the movie. Synopses are stupid.
Shawn Levy directed the pic which grossed over $1.34 billion worldwide, from his script written with Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, Zeb Wells and Reynolds. He and Reynolds also produced alongside Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige.

Vince Gilligan wasn’t just cooking up chemistry with Breaking Bad; he was secretly preparing for the worst, convinced that his gritty series was one awkward plot twist away from cancellation after Season 2 or 3. But fate had a hidden ace up its sleeve—a game-changing technology that not only kept Breaking Bad alive but transformed how we watch TV.

Deadpool & Wolverine's "The Art of the Movie" book goes on sale in a few days and a new video offers a glimpse at what's inside. That includes a long list of Variants left on the cutting room floor along with comic-accurate costumes for the Human Torch and Elektra.
For now, though, we're focusing on Wolverine. The montage featuring his many Variants remains a highlight in the Marvel Studios threequel but it's now clear that many of them didn't make the final cut.
As you'll see, a long list of alternatives was considered, including a Hulkverine and the Logan we first met in 2000's X-Men. There's also a version of the character in his Ultimate suit from the comics and a Patch who is shown standing alongside the Joe Fixit Hulk.

Months after Deadpool 2 was released in 2018, 20th Century Fox announced plans for Once Upon A Deadpool. The sequel was toned down from an R rating to PG-13 and filmmaker David Leitch returned to shoot a few new scenes, including a cameo from Fred Savage.
It made money but received a mixed response from fans and critics for being what many felt was ultimately a cash grab. Now, speculation is running rampant that we might get a Marvel Studios-produced Deadpool Holiday Special.
Deadpool & Wolverine star Ryan Reynolds took to Instagram last night to share some behind-the-scenes photos from a recent shoot with Blind Al actor Leslie Uggams. Look closely, and you'll notice that their apartment was decorated for Christmas. It seems some green screen work was also required.

It ain’t cheap being a superhero, but it’s the suits where they really get you. Deadpool & Wolverine featured plenty of variants of the title characters, including an appearance from Logan in his classic John Byrne brown and tan suit. The suit appears on screen for just 10 seconds, but it cost more than many of us make in an entire year.
ComicBookMovie.com spoke with Deadpool & Wolverine editors Dean Zimmerman and Shane Reid, who revealed that the brown and tan suit cost a whopping $100,000. Quite the price tag. As the production couldn’t afford to spend that on a whole bunch of Wolverine variant suits, Zimmerman explained that they had to choose more cost-effective variants such as Old Man Logan and Wolvie on a cross.

Colossus played a significant role in the first two Deadpool movies, but his appearance in Deadpool & Wolverine was minimal, to say the least. However, the metallic mutant may have dodged a bullet as Ryan Reynolds revealed that he had originally intended to kill him off in the third movie before Hugh Jackman got involved.
In an Instagram post celebrating composer Rob Simonsen’s choir version of Madonna’s Like a Prayer, Reynolds revealed that Colossus would have made the ultimate sacrifice. “I had Like A Prayer stuck in my head for the 3rd Deadpool film since 2017. Before Wolverine entered the chat, It was largely gonna be the same motion-control sequence I’d been dreaming about, except my dance partner was originally Colossus,” Reynolds wrote. “He would have died in the preceding scene, launching Deadpool into a state of pure rage and revenge… all set to @madonna’s inspired and singular song,...

There was a time when Hugh Jackman wasn't attached to Deadpool 3, and the threequel went through a few different iterations before the actor boarded the project and it became the record-breaking Deadpool & Wolverine.
One version was a low-budget tale with the Merc with the Mouth and Dopinder going on a road trip (seemingly minus any Multiversal implications whatsoever).
In an Instagram post supporting Deadpool & Wolverine's bid to have the choir version of "Like a Prayer" recognised at the Grammys as "Best Arrangement, Instrumental or Capella," Reynolds confirmed that he once imagined the song being used following Colossus's death!
"I had Like A Prayer stuck in my head for the [third] Deadpool film since 2017," the actor and writer explained. "Before Wolverine entered the chat, It was largely gonna be the same motion-control sequence I'd been dreaming about, except my dance partner was originally Colossus."

In Deadpool & Wolverine, the threequel's leads crossed paths with Variants of Blade, Elektra, X-23, and Gambit in The Void. Ultimately, they'd assemble to take on Cassandra Nova's army, though only Laura was confirmed to be alive and well on Earth-10005.
Inevitably, it didn't take fans long to spot Gambit in one of the Tva's monitors during a post-credits scene which saw Wade Wilson run the tape back on his conversation with Johnny Storm.
Ryan Reynolds later released that as a deleted scene showing the X-Man walking through The Void before he turns around and a Marvel Sparkle Circle is reflected in his eyes. Post-release interviews have also strongly hinted that these heroes were sent back to their respective realities.

Deadpool & Wolverine is already available on Digital and hits DVD and Blu-ray next week. Despite that, there are quite a few people still heading to theaters to watch the R-Rated Marvel Studios threequel.
This past weekend, the movie reached $699.4 million at the international box office and $635.3 million domestically. Now, with a $1,334.6 billion total worldwide, it's managed to pass Star Wars: The Last Jedi to become the 20th highest-grossing movie of all time.
That's a phenomenal result for Deadpool & Wolverine and one which cements its place in history as one of the biggest blockbusters ever.
With any luck, this means Marvel Studios will make more R-Rated movies when the occasion calls for it. The Deadpool threequel may have earned more with a PG-13 rating but it wouldn't have been the same and benefitted greatly from being able to push the boundaries.

A few weeks ago, there were rumblings online that Deadpool & Wolverine stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman might be in the mix to host next year's Oscars. Now, Deadline has confirmed that is indeed the case.
However, the trade has learned that the plan would be for them to be part of a series of rotating hosts, with each individual or pair doing part of the show (this is a result of the Academy's hope to increase interest in the awards show following years of declining ratings).
Will Ferrell, Amy Poehler, and Dwayne Johnson have also been approached, though the latter is eyed by the Academy on an almost yearly basis. Kevin Hart and Chris Rock are no longer being considered, while Jimmy Kimmel and John Mulaney have both turned the gig down.
Back to Reynolds and Jackman, both make sense following the success of Deadpool & Wolverine and...

Jonathan Groff singing Bollywood tunes is the centerpiece of “A Nice Indian Boy,” a groundbreaking gay rom-com that’s heating up the BFI London Film Festival.
Director Roshan Sethi and stars Groff and Karan Soni (the “Deadpool” franchise) are challenging Hollywood norms with their cross-cultural love story, which debuted at SXSW. It aims to bring a fresh perspective to both LGBTQ+ and South Asian representation on screen.
The genesis of the project traces back to 2019, when Levantine Films optioned Madhuri Shekar’s play of the same name and Eric Randall adapted it as a screenplay. Sethi came aboard in 2021 after the producers saw his previous film “7 Days.” He then approached his real-life partner Soni to co-star. Groff signed on after watching “7 Days.”

Deadpool & Wolverine already holds the record for the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time, but it’s broken yet another record just one week after its release on Digital. According to Disney, the film has delivered the highest-selling first week ever for an R-rated film on domestic digital platforms. Disney didn’t release any numbers, but the previous record holder is believed to be John Wick: Chapter 4.
Deadpool & Wolverine remains in the top 10 at the weekly box office, having grossed $1.33 billion worldwide. This places the film just behind Inside Out 2, which has grossed $1.69 billion. Quite a haul for Disney.
Disney has also been setting up an awards push for Deadpool & Wolverine as they are submitting the film for consideration across all the major awards shows, including a potential Oscar for Hugh Jackman.

Another Deadpool & Wolverine deleted scene has been officially released today and this one shows more of the budding romance between Hunter B-15 and Peter.
They share a kiss before the former returns to the Tva and, when Peter enters his apartment, he declares he's in love to new roommates, Deadpool Corps members Kidpool and Headpool.
It's a fun scene, but one we're not surprised ended up on the cutting room floor. Hunter B-15 is a pretty serious character and a romance with Peter somewhat cheapens that. It also doesn't make a ton of sense that these two dangerous members of the Corps would be left to roam free on Earth-10005.
The Tva will likely play a role in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, even if it's just to offer some exposition about the Multiverse and why Kang's Variants no longer pose a threat.

Jonathan Groff was the first actor cast in the rom-com A Nice Indian Boy and he had no idea Karan Soni was also gay when he suggested the actor for his love interest!
The co-stars hit the red carpet together while attending the premiere during the opening night of NewFest on Thursday (October 10) at Sva Theater in New York City.
They were joined on the carpet by director Roshan Sethi, who happens to be Karan‘s longtime partner!
In a new interview with The Daily Beast, Roshan revealed that Jonathan requested Karan to be his love interest in the movie without knowing they were a couple, or that Karan was gay.
The article notes, “Sethi thought he’d have to work to court Groff—’An independent film needs a famous white person to get made,’ he half-jokes—when in actuality Groff was already envisioning the exact film that now exists.

Few filmmakers have used their voices and resources to advocate for the continued use of celluloid film than Quentin Tarantino. From his steadfast refusal to shoot on digital cameras to his exclusive use of film projectors at his New Beverly and Vista theaters in Los Angeles, the “Reservoir Dogs” director has made it clear that he views film prints as works of art in and of themselves. His prized film collection is the envy of many cinephiles — to the point where it’s now the subject of a heist film.
IndieWire can exclusively reveal that Giant Pictures has acquired the distribution rights to “Stealing Pulp Fiction,” a new heist comedy from first time director Danny Turkiewicz that follows an ensemble of movie lovers who try to steal Tarantino’s personal print of “Pulp Fiction.” The film, which is set to make its world premiere at the Newport Beach Film Festival...

Deadpool & Wolverine is now available on Digital platforms and, thanks to io9, we have one final featurette clip focusing on those familiar superheroes Wade Wilson and Logan encountered in The Void.
As well as plenty of new shots of the Variants in action, we hear from Wesley Snipes on his return as Blade along with Jennifer Garner who addresses suiting up as Elektra again.
Snipes' return as Blade has left a lasting impression on fans, though they never expected him to reprise the role. However, everything changed when Reynolds - who Snipes famously didn't get on with while making the Blade threequel - sent a text message to his old co-star saying, "I want to talk to you."
Earlier this year, Snipes recalled, "I did not think it was possible. I didn't think we would be able to pull it off. I didn't think that Marvel was into it,...

Another Deadpool & Wolverine deleted scene has been released and it raises some interesting questions about where this sequence was meant to fit into the R-Rated threequel.
Mr. Paradox - who has clearly crossed paths with the Merc with the Mouth at this point given the state of his face - has tracked Hunter B-15 down to ask for resources he intends to use for the observation post on Earth-100005. Of course, we know he wants those to speed up construction on the Time Ripper, but the Loki character isn't biting.
This doesn't feel like an overly necessary scene...which explains why it ended up on the cutting room floor! However, we're guessing it was meant to better explain how Hunter B-15 later figures out what Mr. Paradox is up to.
With Deadpool & Wolverine's Digital release just a couple of days away, there are lots of epic moments...

Deadpool & Wolverine is one of the biggest films of the year, grossing over $1.3 billion worldwide, but Disney wants to add some Oscar gold to that haul. According to Variety, the studio is submitting the film for consideration across all the major awards shows, including a potential Oscar for Hugh Jackman.
The blockbuster will be submitted for consideration at the Golden Globes, where it would compete in the comedy categories. Ryan Reynolds would cross swords with five other actors in the Best Actor (comedy or musical) category, while Jackman would compete in the Supporting Actor category. In addition to the Golden Globes, the report states that Jackman’s performance will be submitted to the “Screen Actors Guild Awards, Critics Choice, and even the Oscars.” Deadpool & Wolverine is also expected to be included in the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement category. The category was introduced last year, with the inaugural prize going to Barbie.

I'm not the biggest fan of the "Deadpool" movies. They're less the advertised superhero parodies and more straight-up action-comedy superhero films, fourth-wall-breaking or not. They have their moments where they don't just play the genre beats, though, and the climax of the first "Deadpool" movie has two such moments.
One is when Wade (Ryan Reynolds) executes his nemesis Ajax (Ed Skrein), disregarding Colossus' (Stefan Kapičić) speech about the rare moments one gets to be a hero. Before that is a classic explosive fight of good vs. evil, complete with a damsel in distress hanging in the balance. The fight isn't as explosive as it could've been though, since Deadpool forgets his duffle bag full of guns in the taxi that he, Colossus, and Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand) took to the showdown.

We're still waiting on Disney to announce Deadpool & Wolverine's home entertainment release (we're hearing October is likely for a Digital launch) and the movie just hit another huge box office benchmark.
With over $622 million domestically, the R-Rated Marvel Studios threequel will pass The Avengers today to become the fifth highest-grossing comic book movie ever.
It will then sit behind Avengers: Infinity War, Black Panther, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and Avengers: Endgame at #1.
This is an incredible achievement for Deadpool & Wolverine and proof that last year's talk of "superhero fatigue" was both far too premature and wishful thinking on the part of the genre's biggest detractors.
In other box office news, Deadline reports that the first animated Transformers movie in close to four decades, Transformers One, grossed an impressive $3.36 million during Thursday previews. That's better than Bumblebee's $2.15 million in 2018 but less than the $8.8 million made by Transformers: Rise of the Beasts last year.

Deadpool & Wolverine celebrated 20th Century Fox's hit-or-miss Marvel Universe and did so without many of the franchise's original actors. While the Void was packed full of familiar characters, they were largely played by stunt performers.
That saved the threequel's budget from spiralling out of control and gave those actors the chance to shine as members of Cassandra Nova's mutant army.
Today, we have a closer look at Toad and The Blob courtesy of concept artist Jonay Bacallado.
"Toad is a character we have seen in various X-Men movies, including the first ever X-Men movie back in 2000," he explains. "For this version, costume designer Mayes C. Rubeo wanted to introduce a color palette inspired by the Asian giant toad colours. We suggested also ideas for the skin texture mimicking a real toad skin."

We figured it wasn't Blake Lively wearing the Ladypool suit on the set of Deadpool & Wolverine, but a newly discovered Instagram post has finally revealed who was wielding those Uzis.
As you can see below, it was stunt performer Christiaan Bettridge; she doubled for Gal Gadot in the Wonder Woman movies and also counts the likes of The Marvels and Knuckles among her previous credits.
"It’s not lost on me how special it was to don this suit," Bettridge told her followers. "Fun fact: when the first Deadpool came out in 2016, before my stunt career had properly started, I was so obsessed with it and thought to myself, if there is ever a Ladypool I want to be her stunt double!"
"Obviously I had no idea this would happen but every step of the way, from the first fitting to the final day on set was so special. A...

The "Art of" book for Deadpool & Wolverine goes on sale next month and Phil Saunders has just shared one of his keyframes for the movie.
This didn't make it into the threequel but, as the artist explains, "My first job was to visualize [a] homage to the iconic DeNiro/Pacino scene from Michael Mann’s 'Heat,' but with Deadpool opposite Wolvey at Kate Mantelini’s."
"I tried to put in as much character as I could and find a moment that would sum up their dynamic," Saunders continues. "I thought this would be *exactly* how a 'stealing fries' moment would work out between them."
It's a beautiful piece of artwork and one we'd imagine was used to try and find a feel for what Wade Wilson and Logan would look like on screen and how they'd interact.

Deadpool & Wolverine further explored The Void, introducing a Cassandra Nova Variant deemed so dangerous to the Multiverse that she'd been allowed to do what she pleases there.
When Wade Wilson and Logan crossed paths with the villain, they also came face-to-face with some familiar - and not so familiar - Variants. Among them was Quill, a mutant you may or may not remember from 2006's X-Men: The Last Stand.
Able to sprout porcupine-like quills from his body and use them as high-speed projectiles which could kill his enemies at will, he was portrayed by Ken Leung. However, in Deadpool & Wolverine, he became a she.

When Wade Wilson and Logan crossed paths with the villain, they also came face-to-face with some familiar - and not so familiar - Variants. Among them was Quill, a mutant you may or may not remember from 2006's X-Men: The Last Stand.

Deadpool & Wolverine is full of standout moments but the sight of the title characters fighting the Deadpool Corps in a gloriously gory one-shot sequence isn't one we'll soon forget.
Set to Madonna's "Like a Prayer," the Corps prove no match for the threequel's leads and Wolverine is unleashed in a way we've never really seen on screen before now.
Among their ranks was an eye-catching Variant you may recognise from the comic books: Golden Age Deadpool. He's not given a voice in the Marvel Studios threequel but artist David Masson has today shared his design for the character's recent live-action debut.
He looks great and, perhaps most importantly, like he's just stepped off the page!

When we got a first blurry look at Deadpool & Wolverine's Variants, the hope was that Marvel Studios had tapped the original actors to reprise their roles.
That wasn't the case, unfortunately, but with Cassandra Nova's army used largely as cannon fodder, it was probably for the best because fans would have hated seeing X2: X-Men United star Kelly Hu, for example, wasted as Lady Deathstrike.
Stunt performer Jade Lye plays the villain in her place and concept artist Jonay Bacallado has now shared a closer look at his design for Deathstrike's new MCU costume.
"Lady Deathstrike being one of Cassandra’s henchmen made totally sense when we learnt she was coming back to the MCU," he explains. "She has Adamantium nails and often fought Wolverine in the past, as in X2 from the X-Men movies. Pruned by the Tva, now she’s part of Cassandra’s team in the Void.
