Get ready Deadpool nerds!
Here it is, our first official look at Atlanta actress, Zazie Beetz as Neena Thurman, a.k.a. Domino, the mutant assassin/badass making her first cinematic appearance in Deadpool 2. In the comics, she and Deadpool, a.k.a. Wade Wilson, played by Ryan Reynolds, have had an on again/off again romantic relationship. She has fought alongside Cable and the rest of X-Force in plenty of firefights. She possesses a strange power that is essentially perennial good luck. That is, she can alter the probabilities of any outcome in her favor, even if it’s bouncing a bullet off of a metallic surface to hit her target or jumping off of a building and just sort of trusting that something soft will break her fall — which it always does.

As you can see in this pic, where instead of lying on a bear rug like Deadpool and Burt Reynolds before her, Domino is comfortably reclining on the now-iconic red Deadpool suit. Or, is it supposed to be a dead Deadpool? Whichever it is, this does not look good for our merc with a mouth.
Beetz as Domino will appear alongside X-Men fan favorite Cable, being played by Thanos actor Josh Brolin. This film, along with the introduction of the New Mutants earlier in the year, is assumed by many to be leading to an X-Force movie, which would a new franchise for Fox within their already profitable X-Men universe.
