Ryan Reynolds makes the announcement of Zazie Beetz casting by tweeting the phrase "domino effect" with a picture with the actress' name spelled out using dominoes. Domino, whose real name is Neena Thurman, is a mutant who has a power that unconsciously manifests and affects the situations around her. She creates a domino effect that makes things go her way.
Domino hangs out with other mutants and form a mercenary group called Six Pack which later turns into X-Force. Domino's partner, Cable, has not been cast yet. The character of Domino is speculated to be front and center in the X-Force movie Fox has planned.
However, there is no confirmation of this. In the meantime, fans can speculate how Deadpool will handle "The Domino Effect."
"Deadpool 2" will be directed by David Leitch. Fans can see his work in theaters now by going to see "John Wick 2." Leitch is the second director attached to the "Deadpool" sequel. Original director Tim Miller dropped out last October due to differences with Ryan Reynolds.
