Femme Fatale Gina Carano will be playing the character of Christine a.k.a. Angel Dust, a mutant capable of unleashing adrenaline into her system (rendering her nearly superhuman for periods of time).

The character owes her origins to Geoff Johns, and was first introduced as a member of the Morlocks, an underground mutant cell created by prolific "X-Men" writer Chris Claremont.

How her character will fit into the film isn't clear, but the Morlocks' ties to the X-Men universe are to be expected. As a mutant who owes his mutation to the same Weapon X program that gave Wolverine his adamantium skeleton, Fox made it quite clear that the big screen Deadpool would be a part of the X-Men universe.

That will likely bring him into contact with plenty of mutant enemies (with the actor playing the film's villain potentially revealed), with Carano looking to be one such rival. Deadpool releases in theaters February 12, 2016.
