'Deadpool' is a 2016 American superhero comedy film directed by Tim Miller, produced by Simon Kinberg and Lauren Shuler Donner, and written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick.

Last week, actor Ryan Reynolds teased fans on his costume post. Now, he shared his thoughts regarding his preference on the film's ratings. Additionally, an actress has just become part of "Deadpool"'s cast.

Brianne Hildebrand will be playing the role of another mutant in the film - Negasonic Teenage Warhead, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Ellie Phimister, also known as Warhead, is known as Emma Frost's student in the telepathy class. She is capable of having futuristic visions and precognitive nightmares such as the Genoshan genocide incident. Her mutant name was derived from the Monster Magnet song "Negasonic Teenage Warhead." She was first seen in "New X-Men volume 1 # 115" in 2001.

With her abilities mainly psychic based, using the mind with precognition and premonitions, the mutant is not known to have physical fighting abilities. However, the actress is reportedly undergoing physical and stunt training for her role, which may indicate a possible addition to the mutant's capabilities in the upcoming "Deadpool."

Hildebrand is also known for "Annie Undocumented" (2014) and "Prism" (2015).

Meanwhile, user DPklok051 asked Ryan Reynolds on Twitter post if the upcoming film is to be rated R or PG-13. The actor preferred the movie to be rated R. "I want #Deadpool to be R. Always have. Fighting the good fight still. Lotta yelling today," he said.

"Deadpool" has been known for blending jokes with violence and moderation is the key to make "Deadpool" a marvellous character, as per Vox. The character becomes "less special" and humorous when he demonstrates more explicity. Censoring is an element that adds to "Deadpool"'s humor in the comics, since readers can read between the lines. "Deadpool" as an R-rated movie makes it "worth exploring."

The film will star Reynolds as Wade Wilson/Deadpool, Hildebrand as Ellie Phimister/Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Morena Baccarin as Vanessa Carlysle/Copycat, Gina Carano as Angel Dust, and T.J. Miller as Jack Hammer/Weasel.

Tim Miller is set to pilot the upcoming film, together with Kevin Feige, Simon Kinberg, Stan Lee, and Lauren Shuler Donner as his co-producers. Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are set to pen the film script.

"Deadpool" is set to be released in theaters on Feb. 12, 2016.
