As shown in the trailer, Emma Corrin’s Cassandra Nova will be the main antagonist of the only Marvel film set to release this year. While a lot will be discovered in the film when it releases in theaters this weekend, Corrin has reflected on how she prepared herself to play a very important role in the world of mutants.
Popular amongst comic book fanatics, Cassandra Nova happens to be the famous Charles Xavier’s twin sister. Hence, to give the audience a feel of her superpowered telepathic brother, from the comics, Corrin studied the character from the previous entries that belonged to Fox Studios.
“I did look back at those two performances,” Corrin stated, referring to Patrick Stewart and James McAvoy’s Charles Xavier while talking to Screen Rant.
Further explaining herself, the nonbinary actor recalled that while preparing for the role, she once asked herself if she needed to get too close to Stewart and McAvoy’s performances, while also thinking if she would be able to portray her own self.
Speaking of Stewart and McAvoy, Corrin stated that they were great at playing the role of a powerful being. She further added, “I wanted to see if there were any bits that I could use or pay homage to that.”
