Ryan Reynolds Talks About His Plan to Prevent Major ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Spoilers from Leaking To the Public

by

As a die-hard fan of superhero movies, I can’t help but marvel at the sheer dedication and anxiety that went into making “Deadpool & Wolverine.” Ryan Reynolds‘ confession about his sleepless nights over potential set leaks is a testament to the level of secrecy required in such big-budget productions. The risk they took by filming in real-world locations, rather than on a soundstage, adds an authentic grittiness that would have been lost otherwise.

One of the most successful superhero films this year was the team-up between Deadpool and Wolverine. This blockbuster was hugely popular among viewers, raking in more than a billion dollars at the box office and garnering rave reviews from fans.

A significant factor contributing to its success lies in the reintroduction of beloved characters such as Snipes’ Blade, Garner’s Elektra, and Evans’ Human Torch, complemented by fresh faces including Tatum’s Gambit.

Should any set leaks occur with these well-known actors resuming their roles, it could potentially spoil the entire film for everyone. This concern was particularly significant for Ryan Reynolds, given the pivotal fight sequence involving most of the heritage characters battling in an open arena within the Void.

I was incredibly anxious about the possibility of others spotting [Wesley Snipes, Channing Tatum, Jennifer Garner, and Dafne Keen]. In all honesty, I found myself tossing and turning in bed due to this concern.

Instead of crafting deceptive scenes or altering the script, the film crew opted for a more straightforward method to thwart potential leaks from aerial photographs.

To ensure safety during filming, they always prepared the location and had an emergency response if any drones were sighted. If anyone noticed a drone, they would signal a warning, prompting everyone to immediately seek cover. Fortunately, this precautionary measure wasn’t needed often, but Reynolds admitted he was always concerned about potential spoilers being exposed.

In case an unauthorized drone appeared, we ensured the area was securely sealed off and had a response strategy ready. If anyone spotted a drone, we would alert everyone immediately and everyone would take shelter swiftly. Thankfully, such an event never occurred, but I remained vigilant against this potential breach.

Shawn Levy, the director, mentioned that shooting scenes at actual locations, despite potential issues like paparazzi and leaks, gave the film a more authentic and intense vibe. This atmosphere, he pointed out, could not have been created in a studio setting.

As a gamer, immersing myself in games feels raw and authentic because if it were staged, trust me, it wouldn’t have the same edge-of-your-seat intensity that unpredictable elements like paparazzi and spoilers bring into play.

Ultimately, all turned out well despite a few small hiccups. Initially, there were leaks of some characters from past X-Men films, but these seemingly unplanned disclosures merely served to highlight lesser known figures from the franchise. As it turned out, these characters had been intended for reveal prior to the movie’s premiere, as they were later showcased in trailers.

It was accurate that whispers suggested the characters played by Snipes as Blade, Garner as Elektra, and Evans as Human Torch would feature in the film; however, these speculations weren’t widely circulated, resulting in many viewers being taken aback by this revelation.

It wasn’t until just a few days before its release that Dafne Keen’s participation in the film became certain, as she had repeatedly refused the role and only attended the premiere to confirm her involvement.
