Sure, Deadpool [1] is all about star Ryan Reynolds [2], but can we take a minute to appreciate the villain? No, I'm not talking about Game of Thrones star Ed Skrein [3] 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!

First, she kicks a bunch of butt as a government operative in Haywire.

Then, she's an absolute badass in 2013's Fast & Furious 6.

She then redefines strength in 2014's In the Blood.

Before totally owning Dave Bautista in Heist in 2015.

She also proved you can still win a fight in heels in 2015's Extraction.

Now, she's on screen knocking the wind out of Colossus in Deadpool.

Long story short: you want to be on her good side.
