Speaking with entertainment reporter Josh Wilding, actor Morena Baccarin confirmed that she is indeed returning as Vanessa Carlysle in DEADPOOL 3. “It did work out. I finished my shooting days on its already,” she revealed. “I think the film is now underway again after the strike, and I think it’s gonna be quite good. I think fans are in for a fun surprise.”

In the comics, Vanessa aka Copycat is a shape-shifting mutant with blue skin. Sound familiar? The films have yet to touch upon her being a mutant; maybe to not compete with Mystique, but Baccarin thinks it’s time we see her as presented in the comics. “I think yes, but I also think she’s competing with a very large universe [laughs].”
