She’s a very deep cut within the x-pansive X-Men universe, but Negasonic Teenage Warhead might have the coolest name of any Marvel mutant. So cool, in fact, that screenwriters Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese proudly own up to the fact that they plucked her out of comic-book obscurity to appear in Deadpool mostly because of that awesome moniker.
When it came time to find their Negasonic Teenage Warhead, though, they weren’t advertising it. “When I auditioned, her name was Kathy, because they do these codenames,” Brianna Hildebrand, the actress who would ultimately land the part, told us at a Deadpool screening Thursday night in Los Angeles. In fact, she didn’t even know what movie she was going out for. “I didn’t know anything about the film at all, asides the fact that Ryan Reynolds was cast in it. And the character I was auditioning for was a telepath who could see the future. But that’s it. That’s all I knew.”
Her character’s mythology is thin — she only appeared in one comic book (2001’s New X-Men No. 115) and didn’t even survive it — which Hildebrand saw as a pro “because not a lot of the fans will be super-upset because of the way my character’s portrayed because there’s not a lot to compare her to,” she said. “So it’s a lot less pressure.”
