Newcomer Hildebrand's oddly named character was created in 2001 by Frank Quitely and Grant Morrisson on the "New X-Men" comics. Negasonic Teenage Warhead was featured as a precognitive mutant and one of Emma Frost's students.
Dressed in all-black with closely cropped dark hair, Reynolds was photographed during filming with Hildebrand in a sequence involving Deadpool getting thrown against the side of a car. The sequence also included "Game of Thrones" actor, Ed Skrein, who recently signed on to play the villain Ajax in the film.
Skrein has been photographed sporting a bloody mouth and face after apparently shooting a fight scene with Reynolds involving a broken and bloody sword.
The upcoming film revolves around former Special Forces operative, Wade Wilson, who has been making a living as a mercenary. Wilson becomes one of the subjects of a rogue experiment that gifts him with the power of accelerated healing.
Reynolds has originally played the mentally unstable motor-mouth mutant in 2009's "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" opposite Hugh Jackman, but has mentioned Deadpool's earlier role as a villain has been shifted to suit the purposes of the solo movie, with the titular character portrayed as being on the hunt for the people responsible for turning him into a mutant.
"Deadpool" also stars Morena Baccarin, Gina Carano, and T.J. Miller.
