Holy chimichangas! Gina Carano and T.J. Miller are joining the cast of “Deadpool.”
The 32-year-old mixed martial arts star will play Angel Dust in the film, . Denver-born comedian and actor T.J. Miller also joins the cast, but his role has not been announced.
In the comic book, Angel Dust is a mutant whose adrenaline gives her bursts of super strength.
THR added that Russian X-Men mutant Colossus will also be in the movie. No word if Daniel Cudmore — who played the role in “X2,” “X-Men: The Last Stand” and “X-Men: Days of Future Past” — will reprise the role.
“Deadpool” stars Ryan Reynolds and is slated for a Feb. 12, 2016 release date. Reynold tweeted a picture of the Deadpool mask on Thursday.
Sepia tone disguises the fact the mask is ballerina pink. It’s early. 365 sleeps early.
