Deadpool 2 is officially in the middle of production – we talked to director David Leitch last week and he told us all about it – and we’ve already seen a cute little trailer for the irreverent superhero sequel, but we still don’t know a heck of a lot about it yet. We know Deadpool is in it, we know Cable is in it, and as of today we know that Deadpool’s costume makes a reasonably comfy carpet, blanket or throw.
Earlier today, Ryan Reynolds revealed (via Twitter) our first look at Zazie Beetz as Domino, a mutant with the power to change her own luck. The character has been directly connected to Cable in the Marvel comics, which is pretty fitting since – again – Cable is in Deadpool 2… too, played by Josh Brolin (No Country for Old Men).

Zazie Beetz is a relative newcomer to Hollywood. Her on-screen acting career only goes back about four years but she broke out in a big way last year with roles on the Netflix Original Series Easy and the award-winning FX comedy Atlanta. She’s also got a role in the upcoming disaster thriller Geostorm, so her career has a heck of a lot of momentum right now, and you might want to keep an eye on her trajectory.
Check out the higher-resolution photo of Domino above. She’s astride Deadpool’s costume, in a shot that evokes the original “Deadpool on a Bear Skin Rug” promo shot from the original, hit film, below. And mark your calendars, because Deadpool 2 is coming on June 1, 2018.

Eight 1980s Cartoon Shows That Should NEVER Be Movies

Beverly Hills Teens
Bevery Hills Teen was an animated teen soap opera about kids who were rich. Ridiculously, cartoonishly rich. That's the whole gag. Look at how much better, funnier and cooler they are because they've inherited their parents' wealth. Thanks, 1980s.

Denver, the Last Dinosaur
The last dinosaur has awoken, and he wears sunglasses and plays guitar and gets into wacky misadventures. Denver, the Last Dinosaur was trying so hard to create a marketable, "hip" character that it basically punched itself in the face.

Gilligan's Planet
The castaways of Gilligan's Island could build just about anything... except a boat. So this animated spin-off in which they built a wooden spaceship was just too absurd to exist. But exist it nevertheless did.

Laverne and Shirley in the Army
Hey, remember when Laverne and Shirley joined the army? You might, since they actually did that once in their hit sitcom, but there wasn't enough material there to justify a whole animated spin-off... even if The Fonz WAS their mechanic (and he was, he really was).

Pac Man
Everyone knew that the best parts of the old Pac-Man video games were the characters and plot. So this, the first cartoon based on a video game ever, was exactly what we wanted. A weird sitcom alternate reality where Pac-Man and his Pac family routinely ate their local rivals, a gang of ghosts. Surreal and bad. Just bad.

Paw Paws
Hanna-Barbera made a lot of strange choices in their long, storied, career. Paw Paws is right up there as one of the worst. It's a racially insensitive series about cute, cuddly teddy bears who are also Native American stereotypes, protecting their magical totems from evil villains. Not only should it never be a movie, but it should probably never be spoken of again.

Turbo Teen
In one of the stupidest things ever - not just tv shows, but things - a teenager transforms into a car whenever he gets warm. The transformation is kind of like An American Werewolf in London but more horrifying.
