She continued, "People keep sending me printouts being like, 'This is so cool!' and I'm like, 'Right?' I also think it's cool! But it's not true!" However, she seemed to be interested in being involved in the film, saying, "I mean. I'd love to keep the ruse going. It's sort of cool that people think I'm doing 'Deadpool', but no! I don't have any news to share. I wish I did!"
Davis made her feature film debut in 2012's "Smashed". She also appeared opposite Zac Efron and Miles Teller in "That Awkward Moment" and alongside Matt Damon and Jessica Chastain in "The Martian". She is currently filming her part in the untitled Blade Runner project which is expected to hit U.S. theaters on October 6, 2017.
