Speaking to Digital Spy, Corrin revealed that co-star Hugh Jackman had given them some "really moving" advice when taking on the role.
"We just had one of those conversations [about] no matter how much success you have or how many incredible roles you get, playing this thing that means so much to so many people, you still are so riddled with insecurity and anxiety about being able to do a good job," Corrin shared.
"I was so worried, I felt so much pressure going into it. Marvel fans hold everyone to such a high standard because these characters are so beloved, so he really put me at ease about that."
Deadpool & Wolverine is out now in cinemas.
