Morena Baccarin has been cast as Ryan Reynolds’ love interest in “Deadpool,” the action hero based on the Marvel Comics character.
In “Deadpool,” which will be directed by Tim Miller, Reynolds plays an assassin who gets hideously scarred after undergoing a procedure to cure his cancer.
Baccarin will play the love interest of “Deadpool” (a.k.a. – Wade Wilson) who struggles with her love for a man with a scarred face.
Morena is most famous for playing Jessica Brody on the hit “Showtime” TV series, Homeland. The Brazilian-born has legions of fans who drool over her sultry good looks.
The athletic 5-foot-7 Baccarin said her fitness secrets are a sensible diet, Pilates and yoga workouts, Examiner reported.
“I like Jivamukti yoga, which is really hard and acrobatic, but there’s a lot of meditation too, which is nice,” said Morena.
One exercise Morena intensely dislikes? “The StairMaster — I hate that thing,” she laughed.
Morena, who’s married to American director Austin Chick, pampers herself with spa treatments to maintain her stunning looks.
“I love going to this Korean spa in L.A.,” said Baccarin. “It’s super-cheap and you have all of these soaking tubs and saunas. And they have amazing treatments, where they put you on a table and scrub every inch of your body. You leave relaxed and with the softest skin you can imagine.”
