The ending of the Marvel film “Deadpool & Wolverine” underwent significant changes following a note from Blake Lively, who played Lady Deadpool in the movie. Initially, the film’s climax was intended to reveal that Deadpool and Wolverine had survived immediately after destroying the Time Ripper. However, Lively’s suggestion led to a more suspenseful approach, where their fate remained uncertain for a while before being revealed on the back of the song “Iris” by the Goo Goo Dolls. This change was aimed at enhancing the emotional impact of their survival, making the triumph more visceral and memorable for the audience.
Director Shawn Levy and Ryan Reynolds, the star of the film, were impressed by Lively’s note, which they described as a “perfect pitch.” This feedback prompted a day-and-a-half of reshoots, which is notably shorter than the typical weeks of reshoots required for such films. The reshoots primarily involved a speech by Matthew Macfadyen, who played Paradox, and his performance was praised for its efficiency and effectiveness in conveying the new narrative direction. The reshoots were completed in just 36 hours, a testament to the team’s ability to adapt quickly to creative changes.
The altered ending not only satisfied Lively’s desire for suspense but also opened up a new way of thinking about the film’s climax. Levy expressed his pride in the team’s ability to execute the reshoots efficiently and credited Lively for her insightful suggestion. The new ending maintained the audience’s engagement by prolonging the uncertainty of Deadpool and Wolverine’s fate, thereby enhancing the emotional payoff when their survival was finally confirmed. This change underscores the collaborative nature of filmmaking and the significant impact that even a single note can have on the final product.
