According to Collider, 10 actresses are up for role of Domino, and they include:
- Lizzy Caplan (Masters of Sex)
- Mary Elizabeth Winstead (10 Cloverfield Lane)
- Sienna Miller (American Sniper)
- Sofia Boutella (Star Trek Beyond)
- Stephanie Sigman (Spectre)
- Sylvia Hoeks (Overspel)
- Mackenzie Davis (Halt and Catch Fire)
- Ruby Rose (Orange Is the New Black)
- Eve Hewson (The Knick)
- Kelly Rohrbach (Baywatch)
All of these actresses have tested or will test for the role of Domino.
The character biography for Domino is as follows:
The woman who would become known as Domino is actually the result of a top-secret government breeding program intended to develop the perfect weapon. Domino was the only test subject to survive, but her “luck” power was deemed a failure at meeting the project’s goals. Her biological mother broke her out of the project and left her with Father Rudolpho Boschelli in the Church of the Sacred Heart in Chicago.
Domino eventually left the Church and became a mercenary. One of her first jobs was to stop “Operation: Jericho,” which was a remote-controlled warbot project. Domino wrecked the robot, but in the process fried the mind of the soldier controlling it. She was then assigned to guard the genius Dr. Milo Thurman, whose analytical ability made him too dangerous for the government to let roam free. Somehow, Domino and Thurman fell in love and were married. Due to Thurman’s love of Dante’s Inferno, he called Domino “Beatrice.” The two separated after a raid on the facility by AIM members, with Milo believing Domino had been killed during the altercation.
Tim Miller will once again return as director for Deadpool 2.
