‘I’m Not Getting Any Younger’: Deadpool’s Morena Baccarin Gets Real About Possible Future As Copycat

by

As a devoted Marvel fan who has grown up with these characters and their cinematic universe, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and impatience regarding the prospect of Morena Baccarin‘s Vanessa becoming Copycat.

The Marvel Universe frequently delivers fresh content, whether it’s through theater releases or streaming via Disney+ subscriptions. The most recent film to hit theaters was Shawn Levy’s Deadpool & Wolverine, which shattered box office records, demonstrating that fans remain engaged with this interconnected universe. Fans eagerly anticipate a sequel and are hopeful that Morena Baccarin’s character, Vanessa, will eventually transform into the hero Copycat. Intriguingly, Baccarin herself has hinted at this possibility in an upcoming Marvel film, commenting “I’m not getting any younger.” Let’s delve deeper into this intriguing development.

In the first Deadpool film, Vanessa wasn’t portrayed as a mutant, but fans familiar with the comics will recognize her as the iconic character known as Copycat. When asked about this potential twist in a hypothetical fourth movie, Baccarin shared her thoughts with ComicBook:

I’ve only been waiting like five years. I’m not getting any younger or skinnier, so now’s the time.

It appears that Baccarin is eagerly waiting to join the action as Copycat in Deadpool, but she emphasizes that the storyline needs to progress more quickly, with Ryan Reynolds and the team moving forward sooner rather than later. Given that she and the other cast members are growing older with each passing day, it’s important for the narrative to advance without delay.

It’s uncertain at this point what lies ahead for Deadpool, but considering the massive success of the third film, fans speculate that he and Wolverine will play significant roles in future Marvel productions. If a fourth movie is approved, it could be an ideal opportunity to finally transform Vanessa into Copycat.

In the primary narrative and climactic fight of the original Deadpool, his true love played a significant role. However, in the sequels of the franchise, she’s often been relegated to the sidelines. Sadly, she passed away early on in the second film, but was resurrected due to the time-traveling conclusion of Deadpool 2. In the third movie, it was revealed that they had parted ways, and most of Wade’s loved ones only appeared at the start and end of the blockbuster.

It’s widely known that Marvel security is robust, but it seems almost common sense to restart Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman’s playful rivalry on the big screen for their shared universe. Although fans are eager to see them in a movie similar to “Avengers: Doomsday“, it appears inevitable that a fourth Deadpool film will eventually be announced by the studio. However, whether or not Morena Baccarin ultimately gets to don the suit and take action is still uncertain.

Transitioning into superhero physiques is a distinctive aspect of acting in comic book productions, with actors like Paul Rudd, Brie Larson, Chris Pratt, and others sculpting their bodies for their roles. As time passes, it appears that Baccarin has reservations about this body transformation process, so they should speed up the production of Copycat!

On November 12th, you’ll be able to stream Deadpool and Wolverine on Disney+. In the meantime, take a look at the scheduled 2025 movie release dates.
