DEADPOOL 2 Actually Outscored The Original In Test Screenings; Secret Cameo Added During Reshoots
Despite recent reports that a test screening of the Deadpool sequel did not go down well, we now have a far more positive update for fans of The Merc With a Mouth, along with news of a "secret cameo"...
The first round of Deadpool 2 test screenings may not have gone down quite as well as Fox would have liked, but according to THR, the latest cut of the sequel actually scored higher than the original.
Following 6 days of reshoots last month, the studio tested two separate cuts simultaneously in Dallas. One scored a 98 and the other a 94 - not too surprisingly, the 98-scoring cut is the version they're going with.
The reshoots that took place in Vancouver were to add more of what audiences responded positively to (Cable and Domino, apparently), but the trade also mentions that two hours worth of footage was shot in Los Angeles for a secret cameo of some sort.
Who could that be? Well, it's speculation time!
