Stop Spoiling Deadpool 3, Says Ryan Reynolds

In the wake of the latest Deadpool 3 leak, Ryan Reynolds has urged people from posting any more spoilers.

Taking to Instagram, the Deadpool actor posted on his stories: “Surprises are part of the magic of theatrical movies. It’s important for us to shoot the new ‘Deadpool’ film in real, natural environments, using practical effects as opposed to making the movie indoors and digitally. Telephoto lenses continue to spoil surprises and create a difficult situation for everyone.”

Reynolds was specifically referencing the most recent leak, which showed his character battling a figure Marvel has yet to officially reveal. “Here’s hoping some of the websites and social channels hold back showing images before they’re ready,” Reynolds continued.

With Deadpool 3 resuming filming following the actors strike agreement, there'll be new things to spoil - and that's what Reynolds is afraid of.

“The film is built for audience joy — and our highest hope is to preserve as much of that magic as possible for the finished film and the big screen. Part of the reason people post spoilers is because they’re excited. I realize these aren’t real world issues and it’s firmly in the ‘good problems’ bucket. I love making this movie.”

One of the key complaints of recent Marvel films is that they look artificial, and a lot of that is down to shooting indoors. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, for instance, relied heavily on green screen and CGI.

Deadpool 3 is attempting to shoot outdoors with practical effects and actual, not-CGI costumes. While it results in a better looking and less artificial film,the downside is they’re at the mercy of the mighty telephoto lens.
