297 | Morena Baccarin (Deadpool & Wolverine)

Posted on July 9, 2024October 12, 2024 By Sammy Younan No Comments on 297 | Morena Baccarin (Deadpool & Wolverine)

My Summer Lair Chapter #297: What Was The Nerd TV Show/Movie Where You Discovered Morena Baccarin?

This attached My Summer Lair conversation is a frustratingly short episode.

There was an airplane delay; Fan Expo was fast approaching and we had to reschedule this interview and well: life basically got in the way. It happens.

However, it’s frustrating because actor Morena Baccarin has done so much funtastic nerd work.

It would be fascinating to unpack those notable experiences.

You know Morena as Vanessa Carlysle (Deadpool’s sassy fun girlfriend in the Merc With A Mouth’s 3 movies.).

Deadpool actually went back in time in Deadpool 2 to save her. That’s how cool and dope she is. (Unlike the space-time continuum; she is a keeper.)

Bonus Fun: going back in time set up some of the events in the third movie: Deadpool & Wolverine.

Which is the primary focus of this My Summer Lair episode.

However, Morena has done much nerd work: she was Black Canary’s voice in Justice League Unlimited. And Gideon’s voice in the recent Flash TV show. Firefly was her first television series; she reprised her role in the 2005 movie Serenity.

There’s post-2000s V, Stargate SG-1 and of course she starred on Gotham. Where her character—Leslie Thompkins—married Jim Gordon.

And if you want to include as notable nerd work (I do!) Greenland which is an intimate end of the world disaster movie.

She just finished shooting the second one so we will be getting Greenland 2 soon. I dig Greenland. I’ll visit Greenland: Migration when it opens in early 2025.

So there’s lots to discuss but limited time. It happens. That’s life. 

Two notable notables from this conversation:

Thanks to the Deadpool & Wolverine movie, Deadpool is now firmly cemented into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

And tantalizingly Morena suggests the story between Wade Wilson and Vanessa Carlisle is not over…yet. She’s hinting there’s more sorry to tell.

Look, I understand there are discussions and Deadpool & Wolverine just happened…all kinds of things are going on, that’s life in the MCU but it’s an interesting (and creative) perspective.

Well hafta revisit that a few years from now. What did happen to Wade Wilson and Vanessa Carlisle?

Oh, And Dogpool! Hah…go Peggy. This is Peggy…

The second notable: take a moment to kick it old school with The Mystery Frequency podcast: your sweet supplier of Audio Drama Radio.

Featuring classic tales of suspense, sci-fi, thrillers, and mysteries. This is Theatre of the Mind.

Classic radio dramas starring Flash Gordon, Sherlock Holmes, The Shadow, Green Hornet and so much more.

You’ll hear a trailer of this popular audio drama podcast in the introduction. I did a trailer swap with James: thought it’d be a new podcast thing to try.
