DEADPOOL 2 Director David Leitch Discusses Depicting Domino's Potentially Problematic Power-Set On Screen
How do you convey/visualize a character's special ability on screen when her power is, basically, being extremely lucky? David Leitch promises that they've got some "great stuff" lined up for Domino.,..
Ever since it was announced that 20th century Fox's Deadpool sequel would introduce Domino (Zazie Beetz), fans wondered if the badass mutant's comic book power would remain intact, or some alterations would be made to better suit a big-screen incarnation of the character.
Well, it sounds like Domino's ability to alter probability fields will indeed be present - even if actually depicting it onscreen turns out to be a little tricky.
During an interview with ScreenRant, director David Leitch was asked about Domino, and although he wouldn't go into specifics, he did promise that they've come up with a cool way to visually demonstrate her "super-luck":
“We’re excited to play with that idea in choreography. I’m not going to give you how it’s all going to play out. As a choreographer, having a character with her abilities is really a trick. I think at first it seems like a problem. Like oh my god, how dod you demonstrate luck?And then you just see it like, oh, this is the coolest opportunity ever, so we’re really excited and we’re creating really great stuff for her character.”
Leitch also addressed the notoriously convoluted origins of Cable (Josh Brolin), reaffirming that they are going to be making some pretty big changes when it comes to the fan-favorite character. "We’ve been really particular what we’re going to put in and what we’re going to leave for potential future if it goes that way," he said, before promising that everything is still "all in the spirit of canon."
