LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Deadpool & Wolverine' is all set to premiere on Friday, July 26, and Ryan Reynolds just revealed a major spoiler for 'Deadpool & Wolverine' on his Instagram story.

Why does Cassandra Nova have a Sling Ring encrusted with 2 Infinity Stones?
Cassandra Nova, the evil twin sister of Professor X, is the main villain in 'Deadpool & Wolverine'. She's gathered an army in The Void, but her plans are still unclear.
New photos offer a closer look at her Sling Ring, revealing a surprising detail: it's powered by two Infinity Stones - the Time Stone and the Reality Stone. This enhancement could make her a formidable foe for the duo.
The Time Stone enables her to traverse dimensions and evade threats, while the Reality Stone allows her to resist erasure from existence at the hands of Alioth. The Infinity Stones also amplify her powers, making her almost as strong as Thanos when he had 2 of the Infinity Stones during 'Avengers: Infinity War'.
The Sling Ring serves as a focal point for the Stones' energy, granting Cassandra Nova the ability to manipulate reality and time in pursuit of her goals.
Internet goes into a frenzy after Ryan Reynolds's cryptic story
Many fans took to X to share their speculations about the use eof the Sling Ring. One fan speculated,"If I had to guess, Cassandra Nova probably stole the sling ring from the body of the Sorcerer Supreme from her universe."
He further added, "Probably from a timeline where Malekith was stopped by the sorcerers of London. That'd give the Sorcerer Supreme those two Infinity Stones."

Hoping that Cassandra Nova is going to help Deadpool and Wolverine, one fan wrote, ""So Cassandra Nova will open that Sling Ring portal for Deadpool and Wolverine to escape from the void, that's why she was standing behind and not trying to stop them."

One excited fan shared, "The stones are back!!" Another fan said, "S**t is about to get nuts again."
One confused fan wrote, "So if the void exists at the end of time, then unlike the TVA outside of time, Infinity Stones can work no matter what universe they come from or how many of them exist simultaneously, using any number of infinity Stones from any number of timelines at the same time?"

Cassandra Nova's acquisition of the Sling Ring, potentially housing the Time and Reality Infinity Stones, poses a significant threat to the Marvel universe.
If genuine, these Stones would grant her the ability to traverse the timeline, access any point in the Marvel chronology, and even manipulate reality itself. This would undoubtedly make her a force to be reckoned with for Deadpool and Wolverine.
While it's possible that the Sling Ring is merely an ornate accessory, it's unlikely that Marvel would introduce such a powerful artifact without tapping into its vast potential.
