Atlanta's Zazie Beetz plays 'Domino' in Deadpool 2, the first time the luck-controlling mutant has been adapted for the big screen.

The character of Domino first appeared in New Mutants #98, although it later turned out she was imprisoned and being impersonated by another mutant, 'Copycat'. In the Marvel Comics she was a mercenary partner, confidante and lover of the time-traveling 'Cable' and is portrayed as chalk white with black eye patch, whilst in the movie she's played by a black actress with a white eye patch.

Ryan Reynolds reprises the wisecracking role he seems meant to have played, 'Deadpool', created by writer Fabian Nicieza and artist Rob Liefeld, who made his first comic book appearance in 1991's New Mutants #98.

Aside from his armed forces skills with guns and blades, he has an accelerated healing factor, but was severely scarred after undergoing an experiment to help cure his cancer.

The Expendables Terry Crews plays a lesser known mutant known as 'Bedlam', who along with his brother was first introduced in the Factor X limited series in the X-Men: Age of Apocalypse event and later joined X-Force.

In the comics 'Jesse Bedlam' could project a bio electromagnetic field, so it'll be interesting to see how he and his powers are translated in the movie, but at least his X-uniform looks cool.
