He just can’t help himself.
Deadpool and his even more amusing alter-ego Ryan Reynolds have just revealed teh identity of teh star playing Domino in teh hugely-anticipated sequel. Rather than just simply tell us the name, Reynolds posted a picture of, yup, dominoes, on Instagram.
The equally cryptic caption simply says: “Domino Effect.”
If you squint hard enough, though, you can make out the letters on the domino tiles spelling out her name…
Or you could just let us tell you.
After weeks of frenzied speculation and an apparently huge casting call, Domino will officially be played by rising US star Zazie Beetz.
The news follows just days after Ryan Reynolds and Stan Lee posted a cheeky trailer for Deadpool 2 before screenings of Logan. The jokey clip teased mentions of Nathan and Hope Summers and Firefly and Buffy star Nathan Fillion as Cable. Watch it next.
But who exactly is Domino and where has Zazie Beetz sprung from?
If the name doesn’t immediately ring any bells, that’s because this will be the lucky lass’ first major movie role.
The 25-year-old is best known so far for two TV shows, Atlanta and Easy. Atlanta was created by Donald Glover and focussed on the city’s emerging rap scene while Easy was a Netflix show about young folk in Chicago.
Neither made a huge impression on TV audiences and the almost unknown actress must have made a powerful impression of her own on the Deadpool team to land such a covetable role.
