The Marvel Cinematic Universe, in general, is known for shocking surprises and unexpected moments, andDeadpool & Wolverineis full of several such moments. Having brought back several actors and characters from the gigantic Marvel universe, one of the best cameos of the movie was when Chris Evans came back as Johnny Storm aka the Human Torch.
However, the glory of his cameo was short-lived for he was soon skinned alive by Emma Corrin’s Cassandra Nova. While Evans exclaimed that it was a dream come true to reprise his first Marvel role, Corrin, in a separate interview, revealed she feels sad for killing Evans’ character the way she did.
Emma Corrin Felt Sad About Killing Chris Evans’ Human Torch inDeadpool & Wolverine
It isn’t a formidable Marvel villain if they don’t end up killing fan-favorite characters most brutally.Emma Corrin, as Cassandra Nova, certainly proved herself a worthy adversary when she skinnedChris Evans‘ Johnny Storm alive within a second. As horrible as the death was of the fan-favorite hero, the event proved vital for establishing Nova as the primary antagonist of the blockbusterDeadpool & Wolverine.

Having appeared as Johnny Storm after nearly two decades, Evans’ appearance was at best shocking, for everyone initially expected him to be an alternate reality Captain America. While the surprise was worth it and his death brutal, his end ultimatelywas integral to the plot of the film. Yet, Emma Corrin felt heartbroken for having killed Evans’ character.
In an interview withGQ, the actress revealed,
Absoooolutely mad. I felt so bad when we were in the screening the other day. 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.
Exclaiming that it was a weird act to pull, Emma Corrin exclaimed that she would have never thought that she would one day be killing Chris Evans’ Human Torch in a movie as brilliant and dynamic asDeadpool & Wolverine.
Playing Johnny Storm Again Was a Dream Come True for Chris Evans
Chris Evans has portrayed multiple iconic roles in his career but none of them have achieved the popularity that his portrayal of Captain America did. Starring as the titular Marvel character since the inception of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the actor finally said goodbye to the role in 2019’sAvengers: Endgame. Yet, fans hoped he would come back with Marvel’s multiversal magic.

So when he came back to the MCU inDeadpool & Wolverine, it was a shocker that he reprised his first Marvel role, Johnny Storm/Human Torch from the initialFantastic Fourmovies made by 20th Century Studios. However, his appearance wasn’t a disappointment but one of the best cameos of the entire film. While fans continue to appreciate him for coming back,Evans himself explained the opportunity as a dream come true.
Thank you to Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, and Shawn Levy for letting me be a part of such an incredible movie! They’re three of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. Special thank you to Ryan for making it all happen. Playing Johnny again was a dream come true and he’ll always have a special place in my heart.
