Introduction
College Station’s very own, Brianna Hildebrand, is all set to appear in the latest instalment of the Deadpool series, “Deadpool & Wolverine”. Since her breakthrough role as Negasonic Teenage Warhead in the earlier Deadpool films, Hildebrand’s rise to national fame has been rapid and remarkable.
Growing Up on Camera
Born and raised in College Station, Hildebrand’s leap to the glitz and glamour of Hollywood was facilitated by the Nikki Pederson Talent agency. She fondly remembers her teenage years growing up in her beloved town and says that these life experiences heavily influenced her interpretation of Negasonic, the angsty teenage superhero.
The character has a knack for challenging authority, a trait Hildebrand admits resonates with her own rebellious teenage memories. The rising star said, “As you get older, you realize not everything is the end of the world, but Negasonic has a special place in my heart because it really feels like I grew up with her.”
Exciting Times Ahead
In the new film, Negasonic finds herself at the forefront of action as Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) teams up with Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) to save the world from an existential crisis. The film promises some thrilling action, laced with Deadpool’s signature humour and wit.
Yet, Hildebrand cautions that Deadpool is more of an anti-hero than a typical superhero. She explains, “I think the whole self-righteous vibe of the typical superhero is sometimes a lot, so Deadpool is super refreshing in that way.”
Finding Negasonic
Hildebrand shares that the process of developing Negasonic’s character was a fun and creative journey. As the character wasn’t previously much explored in the comic books, she enjoyed the liberty of imparting her own touch to the character.
The actress revealed, “I’m pretty sure Negasonic dies at the end of that comic book and she looked nothing like the way I did. That was also exciting because I could make up a lot of her backstory… It was me discovering who she is to me, which is always fun because when we do another movie, I get to go back to my old journals.”
From College Station to Hollywood Lights
Hildebrand leaves no stone unturned in praising her local community, especially the Nikki Pederson Talent agency, which helped her transition from College Station to Los Angeles. However, living and working in Hollywood was not without its share of challenges.
According to the actress, it’s crucial to love acting passionately and be prepared for countless failures. Reflecting on her journey with wisdom, she chuckled and said that if she could go back in time, she would tell her younger self to relax and enjoy the ride.
A Heartfelt Sequel
As for “Deadpool & Wolverine”, viewers should prepare themselves for laughter and tears. Teasing the fans, Hildebrand said that the movie is “really about friendship and found family.” The actress also hinted at moments that could make viewers sentimental, further elevating the anticipation for the film.
Besides Hildebrand, the movie also stars Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Emma Corrin, Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney, Leslie Uggams, Karan Soni and Matthew Macfayden.
Conclusion
Brianna Hildebrand has definitely come a long way from her humble beginnings in College Station, Texas. With the release of “Deadpool & Wolverine”, she is ready to once again mesmerize viewers with her brilliant performance as Negasonic Teenage Warhead. Fans and movie-goers have just one advice- prepare to be entertained!
