Brianna Hildebrand's character is set to be a sibling for the Merc with a Mouth in Tim Miller's upcoming Marvel Comics film "Deadpool."
Hildebrand is set to play the role of Negasonic Teenage Warhead in Miller's "Deadpool." In her interview with Screen Rant, the actress said that Warhead was Colossus' sidekick. Then, she would have an interesting relationship with Deadpool. The actress went on to say that it was kind of a brother and sister relationship.
Seeing Deadpool with a sibling relationship is interesting; however, Hildebrand pointed out that while they were on the same side, they were kind of butt heads most of the time. Although Miller's "Deadpool" is set to showcase this connection between the iconic anti-hero and the gothic teenager, this element carves a comedic tone, which gives balance to the R-rated film, according to Cinema Blend.
With the human alter ego of Ellie Phimister, Warhead is set to be one of the key players in the "X-Men" universe in Deadpool's life, as she also studied at Professor Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, just like Colossus. Warhead is Emma Frost's student in a telepathy class and her mutant name was derived from the Monster Magnet song of the same name.
Warhead's abilities are mainly psychic in nature, such as precognitive powers and premonitions, in the comic books. The mutant is not known to have combat skills set; however, things might change in Miller's take on the teenager mutant in his upcoming "Deadpool."
Directed by Tim Miller, "Deadpool" features Wilson's origin story, as a former member of the Special Forces who became a subject in an experiment to become a superhero. Ryan Reynolds will play Deadpool, also known as the Merc with the Mouth. In addition to Hildebrand as Warhead, the film also stars Morena Baccarin, Gina Carano, Ed Skrein, and T.J. Miller, among others.
Miller's "Deadpool" is set to premiere in theaters in the United States on Feb. 12, 2016 while the release date for "Deadpool 2" is yet to be revealed.
