From Across the Universes
This February marks the 10-year anniversary of the movie Deadpool. Let's celebrate the career of the woman behind Wade Wilson's sweetheart, Morena Baccarin.

DEADPOOL
In 2016, Morena Baccarin portrayed Wade Wilson’s love interest, Vanessa, in Deadpool and continued through the rest of the franchise. She blended charm, wit, and emotional depth into a character that perfectly complements and grounds the chaotic energy of Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool. Vanessa is more than just a romantic foil to Wade; she’s fierce and matches his sarcastic humor beat for beat, and Baccarin's portrayal makes Vanessa the heart of the franchise. The character's endearing relationship reminds us that, even amidst the explosions and fourth-wall breaks, love is the ultimate superpower. Cue Careless Whisper by Wham!.
GOTHAM
The TV show Gotham explores what happened to many recognizable characters from the Batman universe before Bruce Wayne became Batman. Morena Baccarin plays Dr. Leslie Thompkins, a dedicated physician amidst the city’s corruption and friend to Thomas and Martha Wayne. Baccarin’s performance brings a sense of hope and humanity to the show while Leslie navigates complex relationships and her own dark turns. Her character shows that even in a city teeming with villains, a sharp mind and a good heart can be just as powerful as any cape or cowl.
