Cassandra makes her live action debut in this film, portrayed by Emma Corrin. She lives in The Void and has a group of henchmen who work for her. When Cassandra meets Deadpool and Wolverine, it's revealed Cassandra got banished to Void due to her evil actions and killed a variant of Scott Lang when he was in giant form and uses his body as her base. Cassandra manages to get inside Wolverine's mind with her telekinesis and makes him remember his world being destroyed, after she kills Human Torch, thanks to Deadpool's speech. Deadpool places a special helmet on Cassandra which can kill her, but she promises to get them home with the sling ring she stole from a variant of Doctor Strange that she killed after he got pruned into the void. Deadpool and Wolverine use the portal to escape the void and return to Earth-10005, Deadpool's universe, while Cassandra watches on. After Deadpool and Wolverine kill Deadpool variants, they work together to stop Cassandra once and for all, by destroying the time ripper, saving the universe and resulting in Cassandra's death.
