Deadpool 3 appears to be on a positive trajectory, seemingly meeting all the expectations Marvel movie fans have expressed in recent years. It’s rather reassuring!
Recently, Marvel and its productions have been the subject of much criticism. Beyond the script aspect, it is sometimes the visual rendering itself which is singled out, in particular because of the abuse of special effects and green backgrounds. If at one time, as with Avengers, this was an undeniable advantage, it is starting to tire spectators. It is with this in mind that Deadpool 3 intends to surprise its audience.
Deadpool 3 wants to make a difference
Director Shawn Levy has revealed his commitment to shooting Deadpool 3 with a focus on real sets instead of green backgrounds, usually omnipresent in Marvel Studios projects. This approach aims to prevent the film from turning into a “waste” of green backgrounds, in his own words. Although this type of filming has its own challenges. This information was confirmed during an interview with Total Film Magazine.
During the latter, he reaffirmed his commitment and love towards filming on real locations, thus ruling out the use of green backgrounds and digital sets. Because it must be admitted, the overuse of green backgrounds greatly harms immersion in a film. This is also why Disney explored alternatives with its Star Wars series and its giant 360-degree screen system.
Obviously, from the start of production on Deadpool 3, Levy was firmly opposed to the use of this good old method that made Marvel successful, declaring:
I didn’t want another Marvel movie shot on a set with a green screen and digital set extensions.
The director also returned to leaks from the filming circulating on the Internet, showing Deadpool and Wolverine. Levy accepts these leaks as the price to pay for the authenticity of the filming locations. Finally, in the same interview, he acknowledged the influence of Fox’s legacy on the careers of Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman and his own, and admitted that this legacy shapes the plot of Deadpool 3. history in perspective.
