Additional photography has become the norm for Marvel Studios movies. Sometimes, they make major improvements (that's the hope for Captain America: Brave New World this summer, for example), and other times...not so much.

Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania's new ending may prove that. Regardless, Deadpool & Wolverine is also currently undergoing reshoots.

According to scooper Daniel Richtman, these are expected to last until May, leaving plenty of time before the threequel's planned July release. Based on the cameos added to Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness during its reshoots, brace yourselves for surprises which haven't been leaked or alluded to by the usual social media scoopers.

Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy recently caught up with Associated Press and opened up on his approach to a team-up fans have spent literally decades dreaming about seeing on screen. 

"There was no way I was going to reinvent a wheel, a tonal wheel, that works so beautifully," the filmmaker started. "Both Disney and Marvel, up and down the food chain, empowered Ryan and I to make this movie exactly as we dreamed."

"It’s a really interesting duo. They’re built for huge conflict with each other because they’re so different individually," Levy said of the movie's leads. "But that makes for a very interesting story, because the best two-hander stories, whether it’s 'Midnight Run' or '48 Hours' or 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles,' yes, it’s littered with conflict. But it’s ultimately about something more as well and that’s what audiences will see."

With so much talk of superhero fatigue and Marvel Studios' recent struggles, the expectation is that Deadpool & Wolverine will be a turning point. It may even break the record held by Joker to become the highest-grossing R-Rated movie ever. 

"Audiences are hungry for a great time at the movies," Levy acknowledged. "They want to be delighted, transported and entertained. And when they are given that, whether it’s 'Barbie,' 'Oppenheimer' or any number of other recent movies, they show up."

"The movie is built for audience delight. I think that [they’re] in for a very fun ride..."

Shawn Levy directs Deadpool & Wolverine, which stars Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Emma Corrin, Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney, Leslie Uggams, Karan Soni, and Matthew Macfadyen. The movie is written by Ryan Reynolds & Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick & Zeb Wells & Shawn Levy.

The trades have confirmed that Jennifer Garner will reprise her role as Elektra, with Wesley Snipes, James Marsden, Famke Janssen, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Dafne Keen, Channing Tatum, Blake Lively and, as we mentioned above, even singer Taylor Swift among those rumoured to make an appearance. 

Kevin Feige, Reynolds, Levy and Lauren Shuler Donner produce with Louis D’Esposito, Wendy Jacobson, Mary McLaglen, Josh McLaglen, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, George Dewey, Simon Kinberg and Jonathon Komack Martin serving as executive producers.

Deadpool & Wolverine arrives in theaters on July 26.

Routine stuff.

Though can't rule out conflict with Disney.

My only current concern with this movie is that it already looks pretty cheap and with any new reshoots this close to release, it’s going to contribute to that issue because there’s no way they’ll have time to get the effects right.

@BeyondtheFuture - same. Marvel is desperate for a hit and this looks cheap indeed.

@BeyondtheFuture - first, it's very common reshots close to the date and believe me, 2 months is not close. Very often reshots like this are dialogs, internal scenes, or fight. They shot the very big and expensive first exactly for that reason, so no worries.

@BeyondtheFuture - I agree, it looks very low budget

@BeyondtheFuture - The first one was not a big budget film and it made great profit (which is what these films need).

@BeyondtheFuture - reshoots happen all the time, even with great movies. Without knowing the context of the reshoot you can’t predict the quality of the rest of the film.

@BeyondtheFuture - I have to say movies nowadays look cheap and not so much urgency. Watch X-Men 2 trailer and it builds up the suspense and it feels real. Deadpool and Wolverine is just.. F bombs, jokes, violence and cameos. Still excited to watch it though but X2 trailer was really well done.

I would usually roll my eyes, even if it has become the norm but not for these Multiversal movies like Dr.Strange 2, NWH etc...

On the contrary...more reason to get kinda excited, wonder who they managed to get now that their schedule freed up.

Feige is a fan of pick ups since LOTR.
My only concern with this film, will it be more nostalgia than story?

@TheVandalore - Correct.

@S8R8M - This ain't War and Peace, so I'm less concerned about the movie being some Oscar-worthy masterpiece. It's the fan service that will make or break this movie.

If the fan service is there, it will be NWH. If it's not it will be DS-MoM. Neither of which really had a good screenplay or story. They had bare-bones plots that supported the multiversal fan service. But only one of them delivered.

@ObserverIO - I think k that's why I won't see it. The 3rd trailer will show us what it will be.

@S8R8M - "...more nostalgia than story?"

I don't care about that. I'll be there for a good time. I just want to be entertained.

S8R8M - 4/28/2024, 9:54 AM
@LSHF - That's fair. I hope it is good for you.

LSHF - 4/28/2024, 2:51 PM
@S8R8M - Same. I mean, I understand your point, it's just that since I can't do anything about what we end up with, I can at least focus on what I do like about it and hopefully enjoy it.

I hope you enjoy it also.
S8R8M
S8R8M - 4/28/2024, 3:06 PM
@LSHF - I completely understand. Thank you. I will see how I feel closer to the time. I am curious about Wolverine.
LSHF
LSHF - 4/28/2024, 4:16 PM
@S8R8M - Yes! It will probably be my favorite Wolverine (wearing the two colors and R-rated). That alone will be worth the price of admission.

The rest of it is (to me) either a bonus and/or "icing on the cake". If the cake is enjoyable enough, then I'm less concerned about the icing.

Only problem is, due to health issues, I can't eat cake anymore. So I don't know "what" to do!

@LSHF - True. I did enjoy the smile as he put his head against the gun.
Haha. I am sorry to hear you can't have cake. I hope you have other options. For me, I need to get away from all the junk food haha

reshoots happen in all superheroe movies since many years ago (even in the Fox/Sony era)

Normally its to add some needed extra shots that maybe the original filming didnt get right, for technical reasons, lighting, etc.
In other cases, they can add 1-3 extra scenes that producers feel would benefit the movie, tone, rythym...

in Marvel case, maybe a new cameo that couldnt be filmed on main production.

So no needd to worry, this is the usual.

TheVisionary25 - 4/28/2024, 6:25 AM
@gambgel - exactly

Plus Marvel themselves have been doing this since the start.

Levy’s comments sound good , looking forward to the film!!.

Interested to see what DP’s arc in this is as for this version of Wolvie , it seems to be redemption…

We know that he seems to have left his costume days behind at the start and that him & Vanessa while still friends are no longer together so I wonder if the 2 things are related (rumor has it that they lost their baby which caused them to split)…

Perhaps it was related to Wade’s crime fighting and their unborn child was a casualty of it which i think could cause the split and Wade retiring so his arc could be of redemption aswell.

I have been saying about the ad hoc - ness of Marvel productions ruining their films/series and here we go again.

If they're doing reshoots this means less Deadpool and more X-men cameos

I LOVE the first Deadpool. 2 felt rushed. This new one, I dunno, I was underwhelmed by the trailer. I want to love it but something feels off.
