Morena Baccarin Says Her Deadpool 3 Return “May or May Not Work Out”
Will Morena Baccarin’s Vanessa Carlysle be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe? In a recent interview of the Inside of You With Michael Rosenbaum podcast, Baccarin said she is being courted to star in the upcoming Deadpool 3 movie. But Baccarin said “we have not agreed on terms,” and “it may or may not work out.” This sequel will be the first Deadpool film set in the MCU. And now that the MCU multiverse is in play, Vanessa Carlylse could potentially return, despite her death at the beginning of Deadpool 2. “I do think this movie, since Marvel-Disney acquired this Deadpool universe, they’re trying to reinvent it a little bit,” Baccarin added. “This movie is going to be much more about Wolverine and Deadpool. So we’ll see. Hugh is going to be a huge part of it. I’m sure he’ll be great.”
MPIBA Booksellers Talk Book Bans in Texas
On April 5-7 in San Antonio, Texas, the Mountains and Plains Independent Booksellers Association Spring Con was held, attracting more than 150 professionals. One big topic of conversation at the convention: book bans. The Texas legislature is likely to vote on Senate Bill 13 soon. This bill, among other things, would criminalize exposing children to “harmful material,” and create “school library advisory councils” to ensure “local community values are reflected in each school library catalog.” Booksellers are aware of how harmful this bill would be, and so this topic was on many people’s minds. Charley Rejsek, CEO of BookPeople in Austin and Meghan Goel, children’s book buyer, led a session with Texas booksellers about how to fight the passage of this bills and others like them.
