Luckily, she's brought back to life with a time-traveling device at the end of the movie, setting up a role in Deadpool 3. However, in Deadpool 2, she's killed early on, with her death motivating Deadpool throughout. As Deadpool's girlfriend and then fiance, Baccarin's character plays an important role in the first movie.
In the comics, Vanessa is also the mutant Copycat, but Deadpoolhasn't tackled that particular storyline yet. Baccarin plays Vanessa Carlysle in the popular comic book franchise opposite Ryan Reynolds' Wade Wilson/Deadpool. This leads us to believe her name and the reference contained within is yet another shout out-slash-dig at Hugh Jackman's long list of X-Men and Wolverine spinoff movies.Morena Baccarin reveals she hasn't been approached yet about returning in Deadpool 3. She didn't get that much screen time, maybe we're in for a big surprise somewhere down the line). As far as we know, she has no connection to Logan and no history as a wandering samurai thief (though, hey, maybe she does? Who can really say. She even got her very own live action incarnation back in 2013 in The Wolverine, played by Rila Fukushima.Ĭlearly Deadpool 2's Yukio isn't exactly that character either. She was also a key player in the bulk of Logan's storylines involving his oft-forgotten wife, Mariko Yashida, and adoptive family. Despite her relative obscurity in the scope of Marvel's mutant roster, Yukio became a pretty endearing side character for a decent amount of the X-Men's adventures through the '90s, even going as far as to be one of the in-universe inspirations for Storm's iconic mohawk look and costume update. The name "Yukio" is another X-Men callback, referencing a character from Logan's corner of the X-Universe: a beautiful and deadly human "ronin samurai" and thief who Wolverine encounters during his time in Japan. So it's probably a safe bet that Yukio's pulling a considerable amount of inspiration for Surge but, very likely, was the victim of some sort of rights issue when making the transition from page to screen. We don't get a great look at Yukio's personality or mutation in Deadpool 2, but they obviously have something to do with electricity, or maybe even technology, given how she and NTW enable Wade's post-credits craziness. That wouldn't necessarily be a dealbreaker, since costume updates for live action adaptations happen all the time, but given how no other pieces were falling into place, it seemed like pretty definitive answer. Not only do the names not match, but Yukio's costume doesn't resemble Surge's uniform at all-no cool looking robot gauntlets to be found. Obviously, now that we know Yukio is not in fact named Noriko, the Surge comparison starts to get a little thin. Surge, over in the comics, is a Japanese mutant named Noriko Ashida and she-surprise!-has the ability to generate and manipulate electricity-so, really, a pretty good guess, given how little information was available.
Fans guessed that she was actually the mutant named Surge because of a clip featuring her swinging what looked like an electrified chain.
When Yukio was first announced and shown in the trailers we weren't given an official character name, just the actor, Shioli Kutsuna. Wade seems to like her, too-or maybe he's just happy to finally have an X-Man who isn't constantly on his case. She's not exactly the most verbose mutant around, but she seems pretty unbothered by Wade's presence, which makes her a standout among her teammates, who really would rather be anywhere but near him. Now Playing: Deadpool 2 Movie Review: More Of The Sameīeyond her representational status, we get to see Yukio on screen be a pretty bubbly addition to the X-Mansion.
