Emma Corrin's Marvel Debut and Denied Transformation
Emma Corrin, renowned for their captivating portrayal in The Crown, is poised to grace the silver screen once again in Marvel Studios' highly anticipated Deadpool & Wolverine. However, in a candid interview with British GQ, Corrin revealed a surprising request that was met with a firm denial from the studio.
Corrin, who identifies as non-binary, expressed their desire to undergo a physical transformation for their role as Cassandra Nova, the sinister twin sister of X-Men leader Charles Xavier. However, Marvel Studios declined their request for a personal trainer, citing that such a transformation was not necessary for the character.
I was so ready to undergo a huge transformation, but they were like, 'That's absolutely not required of you. Please stand down,' Corrin recounted to British GQ.
This decision by Marvel Studios has sparked intrigue among fans, as Cassandra Nova is known for her distinctive physicality in the comic books. It remains to be seen how Corrin's portrayal of the character will adapt to this alteration.
Corrin's Journey of Self-Discovery
Beyond the realm of acting, Corrin has also embarked on a profound personal journey of self-discovery. In July 2021, they publicly came out as non-binary, a decision that was met with both support and criticism.
In response to the criticism, Corrin expressed a sense of relief and protection for their younger self. Now they're actually being looked after, Corrin remarked.
Exploring Gender Identity Through Art
Corrin's exploration of gender identity has extended beyond their personal life and into their artistic endeavors. In 2022, they took on the gender-swapped lead role in a West End production of Virginia Woolf's Orlando, further showcasing their versatility and commitment to challenging societal norms.
