Here's Where You Know Deadpool's Gina Carano From
Sure, Deadpool is all about star Ryan Reynolds, but can we take a minute to appreciate the villain? No, I'm not talking about Game of Thrones star Ed Skrein as Ajax (aka Francis) — I'm talking about his hired hand, Angel Dust. Gina Carano plays the deadly sidekick, and if you left the theater wondering where you'd seen her before, we have answers. Carano is a trained MMA fighter, and she made her feature film debut in Steven Soderbergh's 2011 thriller Haywire. She's been kicking butt and taking names on the big screen ever since. Here's a brief look at her acting career!
