AceShowbiz - Emma Corrin, who recently joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) as Cassandra Nova, faced the bittersweet task of eliminating a fan-favorite character in their debut. [SPOILER ALERT] The "Deadpool & Wolverine" star confessed to British GQ that they were "absoooolutely mad" when their character killed Chris Evans' Human Torch during a surprise cameo. Evans last embodied the fiery superhero in the 2005 and 2007 "Fantastic Four" movies.

"I felt so bad when we were in the screening the other day," Corrin shared. "Because we watched it after the New York premiere with all these Lincoln Center full of fans, and everyone was so excited when they see him appear on screen, and then after three minutes, I've killed him. I felt terrible. I was hiding in my seat. Yeah, it was weird. Not something I thought I'd be doing if you'd asked me a few years ago."

The heart-wrenching twist was part of Marvel's latest crossover, which brings back several beloved characters. Besides Evans' Human Torch, the movie features Wesley Snipes as Blade, Jennifer Garner as Elektra, and introduces Channing Tatum's Gambit. The latter has been long awaited by fans, especially after his solo Marvel outing never came to fruition.

Corrin praised Marvel for their expert handling of cameo appearances, highlighting that they are strategically integrated into the plot rather than shoehorned in for fan service. "That's something [Marvel] do so well, the cameos. You know, they give the people what they want. They give them cameos. But they also don't use them gratuitously. They're all there for a reason. And I think you really sense that. Or, I hope people sense that, because I think they're used really cleverly."

While Corrin did not share screen time with many of these iconic actors, they did have the opportunity to meet Garner, Snipes and Tatum on set. Corrin's character, Cassandra Nova, is the villainous twin sister of Dr. Charles Xavier, adding an intense new dynamic to the Marvel narrative.
