There are significant trade-offs associated with shooting Deadpool 3 sequences on site, but director Shawn Levy claims he would rather to take them than have the movie be a green-screen disaster. When Deadpool 3 debuts, viewers won’t have to strain their eyes to distinguish between realistic and computer-generated settings. In an interview, director Shawn Levy stated that he is devoted to filming sequences in real life rather than on a green screen or artificial set. He acknowledges that he will just have to overcome the difficulties that come with shooting in authentic outdoor settings. “It bums me out that photos have leaked online,” he stated in reference to spoiler images and video of Deadpool and Wolverine that have been making the rounds online. However, this is the cost of committing to actual sites. In a deviation from the standard method employed in many Marvel films and television shows, Levy also revealed that he was adamantly opposed to green screens early in the production. Even though Deadpool is now a part of the MCU, he remarked, “I made a decision very early in prep that I didn’t want another Marvel movie shot on a green screen stage with digital set extensions.”

Real location sets and realistic effects have been replaced by CGI as the studio industry standard. Digital manipulation eliminates so many variables that it causes timetable delays, but it only functions well when done, which isn’t often the case for superhero movie productions. Having Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman on board puts pressure on the Deadpool 3 filmmaker to live up to the heritage characters created by 20th Century Studios. He claimed that “Deadpool and Wolverine are iconic Marvel characters.” “More specifically, iconic Marvel characters from the Fox era.” We’re not going to act like ‘Oh, we snap our fingers, and suddenly that Fox history doesn’t exist, and it affected a lot of what we know as the MCU,’ he said. Ryan’s, Hugh’s, and my careers were all influenced by Fox. There is a lot of history there, and Fox has a rich history with Marvel. And without a doubt, that figures into our tale.

Production on Deadpool 3 has been put on hold while the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes are being resolved. Levy said he is accepting the situation as it is and is taking the public anticipation for the crossover movie in stride. “I’m making Deadpool right now,” he declared. “It’s a large Marvel film that also stars Wolverine, and if I consider it as a whole, it may be daunting. So I just ask myself, “What’s the next shot?” What joke will be told next? What happens next in the scene? The filmmaker made it clear that he has no reservations and even calls the superhero collaboration “director heaven.”
