Deadpool 2: Mackenzie Davis on Domino Casting Rumors

By Lucy O'Brien

Actress Mackenzie Davis has shot down recent rumors that she will be appearing as Neena Thurman, aka Domino, in Deadpool 2.

Speaking to GQ, Davis (The Martian, Halt and Catch Fire) said that the rumors are - unfortunately - untrue.

"No! [laughs] It’s very interesting," Davis told the publication. "People keep sending me printouts being like, “This is so cool!” And I’m like, “Right? I also think it’s cool! But it’s not true!”

"I mean. I’d love to keep the ruse going. It’s sort of cool that people think I’m doing Deadpool. But no! I don’t have any news to share. I wish I did!"

The rumors came from the August episode of Meet the Movie Press, when Mashable's Jeff Sneider said  Fox was considering Davis for the part, "who is said to be the scene-stealer of the movie."

Domino is a former mercenary-turned-X-Man with a wicked sense of humor. She is also the on-again, off-again lover of Cable; Kyle Chandler is the rumored frontrunner for the role.

Fox confirmed it's bringing back the entire creative team behind the first Deadpool movie for the sequel back in April, with director Tim Miller returning alongside writers Paul Wernick and Rhett Resse.
