Key Deadpool 3 scene inspired by Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, Director reveals

Spread MCU News

Deadpool 3 is not the only film that Shawn Levy directed. He also enjoys watching films a lot, and popular films like Star Wars: Return of the Jedi have a big impact on him. The filmmaker explains in a recent interview how much that movie—as well as others like it—meant to him and his most recent superhero movie. Levy says he “went to the theatre again and again to see Return of the Jedi” in an interview. He describes the scene where Luke is in the Emperor’s chamber hiding from Vader, and Vader is making a speech that concludes with the words, “If you will not turn to the dark side, then perhaps your sister will.” Levy notes that the adrenaline and exhilaration of Luke’s lightsaber-slashing anger contrasted well with the tension he experienced in the theatres when it became apparent that Vader had pressed the wrong button. Levy says, “The way that felt,” My heart is as well as my eyes are burned from the audience’s forty seconds of silence, followed by the spectacle and passion. This emotion is referred to by the filmmaker as “the essence of the blockbuster,” and he has attempted to capture this essence in Deadpool 3.

The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) strike has caused the Deadpool 3 ship, which Levy is leading, to come to a rest for a while. Levy refers to one sequence in the movie—which stars Hugh Jackman in a comeback as Wolverine and Ryan Reynolds as the film’s eponymous Merc With a Mouth—as its “Jedi moment.” “I pulled up that scene of Vader and Luke on my phone and studied it again, paying close attention to the framing, the tempo, and how it was photographed.” he remarked. The discerning fan of Star Wars will recognise the scene in my Deadpool film that drew inspiration from something I witnessed in a theatre many years ago. That will always be a remember. And it is a priceless find.” Prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike, a few behind-the-scenes photos with Reynolds and Jackman dressed as their comic book-accurate characters had generated a lot of interest for Deadpool 3. While Reynolds’ Deadpool has always worn a costume that mostly follows the comics, he has a brighter red suit for the threequel, in addition to several other fascinating aspects. Fans were ecstatic to see Jackman’s Wolverine in his yellow and blue suit and with his trademark haircut back, as the character had previously only worn boring all-black costumes.
