Morena Baccarin, famous for her role as Vanessa Carlysle in the Deadpool movies, is eager to bring her character’s alter ego, Copycat, to life. In an interview with ComicBook, she expressed her desire to portray the beloved mutant, saying, “I’ve only been waiting like five years. I’m not getting any younger or skinnier, so now’s the time.”
Morena Baccarin Wants Copycat Role
Baccarin has played Vanessa since the first Deadpool film in 2016. Her character added emotional depth to the action-packed story, and she reprised the role in both Deadpool 2 and the latest film, Deadpool & Wolverine, alongside Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. Although Vanessa and Wade Wilson’s relationship is important to the story, fans are eager to see Copycat in action.

In the comics, Copycat is a shape-shifting mutant who can mimic the appearance and abilities of others. She meets Wade Wilson before he becomes Deadpool and later becomes a mercenary herself. Baccarin’s portrayal of Copycat would add an exciting new layer to the franchise.
Despite her enthusiasm, there have been no official announcements regarding Copycat’s inclusion in future films. Marvel is known for keeping secrets, so it remains to be seen if fans will get to see this character on the big screen. Upcoming projects in the Marvel lineup include Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts, and Avengers: Secret Wars, which is scheduled for 2027.
