Deadpool & Wolverine's big bad will be Cassandra Nova, the evil twin sister of Professor X. We know next to nothing about her role in the movie, though she does appear to have assembled an army in The Void and escaped Alioth's wrath.
Footage in the trailers has shown Wade Wilson and Logan escaping through a portal and we know Nova will have a sling ring in her possession.
Now, thanks to Ryan Reynolds, we have a closer look at it. At first glance, it's exactly what you'd expect; however, upon closer inspection, we see that it's been enhanced by at least two of the Infinity Stones: the Time Stone and the Reality Stone.
Could that be what allows Nova to hope between worlds and fend off Alioth's attempts to erase her group from the end of time? We'd say it's likely, though the plot has definitely thickened with this latest Deadpool & Wolverine reveal...
That's not the only new Deadpool & Wolverine content we have to share with you today as BossLogic has dropped a new poster for the threequel which he designed exclusively for Marvel Australia.
Reynolds has also revealed a new shot of the Merc with the Mouth from that now all-too-familiar street scene. That's not all, though, as filmmaker Shawn Levy recently posted a fun behind-the-scenes photo of Hugh Jackman on set suited up as Wolverine and rocking a badass pair of shades.
You can see all of that in the X posts below.
