Morena Baccarin was cast for the upcoming Deadpool film, starring Ryan Reynolds, but it was never revealed who she was playing. Well, Baccarin tweeted out a picture today that pretty much revealed which character she would be portraying, through a little detective work.

All it says it is "Vanessa" and in addition with the Rob Liefeld Tweet that stated the character's first appearance was New Mutants #98. Keeping all that in mind, it's pretty obvious that "Vanessa" is Vanessa Geraldine Carlysle, also known as Copycat. Seems like a pretty good fit for both the actor and the character she's playing within this new Deadpool cinematic world.
