‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Tweaked Its Ending During 36 Hours of Reshoots and After a Note From Blake Lively: ‘Let Me Be in That Place of Suspense’ More

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Ryan Reynolds and Shawn Levy revealed on the “Deadpool & Wolverine” director’s commentary (via Games Radar) that the film’s ending changed thanks to a note from Blake Lively and less than two days of reshoots.

Lively appeared in the movie as the voice of Lady Deadpool. Reynolds and Lively have been married since 2012 and have four children together. “We did just a day-and-a-half of reshoots on the movie, which we’re very proud of,” Reynolds said. “These kinds of movies typically involve weeks of reshoots.

But this speech that Matthew [Macfadyen] has is one of the pieces that we reshot. And he is miraculous.” In the original “Deadpool & Wolverine” ending, the two superheroes save the world by destroying the Time Ripper but their fate is never in question.

The heroes immediately survive the events and live to see another day. The sequel’s reshoots tweaked the scene so that Deadpool and Wolverine appear to sacrifice themselves and die in order to destroy the Time Ripper.
