Copycat’s real name is Vanessa Carlysle, which alone seems to hint at that being Baccarin’s role. Add in the fact that Copycat’s first appearance is in New Mutants #98 (though she has shapeshifted into the form of Domino throughout the entire issue, not revealing herself until X-Force #19, a full two years later) and that seems to confirm the role as a sure thing.
Deadpool opens February 12, 2016.
