The mutant mercenary Domino, played by Zazie Beetz, undoubtedly stole almost every scene in Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool 2. Yet shockingly, the character wasn’t on anybody’s list of the most famous X-Men. This is where a recent fan theory intervened and justified the reason behind this indifference towards Beetz’s character.

According to a few Marvel enthusiasts who rewatched Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool films, following the release of the third sequel, Domino’s superpower became a topic of debate. Considering how she could manipulate the luck factor to play in her favor, netizens wondered if Zazie Beetz’s character was actually a villain because of the way her powers worked. And perhaps that’s why she couldn’t become a fan-favorite X-Men.
Fan Theory Explored the Framework Behind Domino’s Superpower
When it comes to memorable characters in the Deadpool universe, it’s hard to overlook Zazie Beetz’s Domino. With her cool demeanor and unshakeable confidence, she stole the spotlight in Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool 2. But behind those fierce eyes and seemingly endless luck lies a fan theory that might make you rethink her role in the X-Men universe.
Considering how Domino’s superpower is the art of luck, her ability to manipulate chances in her favor has made her one of the most intriguing mutants around. But here’s where things get interesting, because what if her luck isn’t as benign as it appears? According to some enthusiastic Marvel fans, Domino’s power could be a ticking time bomb of chaos.

Well, according to a crisp theory stated by @DynamoSuperX, it is wondered if Domino’s “good fortune” is what inadvertently led to calamities and even X-Force’s demise. Offering a plot twist worthy of Deadpool’s sarcastic quips, the netizens argued that Zazie Beetz’s character could only manipulate luck in her favor by borrowing it from others?
Was Zazie Beetz’s Domino a Villain for Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool?
Domino’s luck, while sounding like a superpower straight out of a wish list, could be more of a double-edged sword. The theory suggests that her seemingly beneficial abilities could be an outcome of the character borrowing other people’s luck to play in her favor while pushing them to the brink of destruction.
So in simple terms, the fan theory wonders – what if in order for Domino to have good luck, bad things must happen somewhere else so there’s a balance? Following this twist of events, the theory implied that perhaps the X-Force, a team built on camaraderie and gritty resilience, apparently fell apart in Ryan Reynolds‘ Deadpool 2 due to Domino sucking their luck and pushing them towards a series of unlucky events.
Therefore, while the theory sounded far-fetched, it added a fascinating layer to Zazie Beetz’s character. Causing a ripple effect on social media, the fan theory made people wonder if Domino had something sinister beneath the surface of her character. What if the X-Men was actually a villain worse than Juggernaut, who simply brought chaos and bad luck everywhere she went, only for her to have good luck?

In the end, whether or not Domino is a manipulative villain, one thing is for certain: the character kept us on our toes and added a unique twist to the Marvel universe. But for future projects, fans must double-check to see if she’s truly rolling with the good or if she has a darker side we’ve yet to uncover.
Deadpool 2 is available on Disney+ as of July 2022.
