Following the initial report that a test screening for Deadpool 2 stated it was a big mess, now quite the opposite is said.
Collider’s Steve Weintraub recently tweeted out the contrary offering fans said Deadpool 2 was excellent, and now in a YouTube show expands upon what he was told.
Both crowds in these screenings said they love Josh Brolin as Cable, they love Domino, but that they would like to see more of both characters in the movie. This is obviously not talking about other things that we’re not allowed to talk about… The two main things were Cable, Domino, everyone loved both characters, they wanted to see more. So when everyone in an audience gives notes and says ‘we want more Domino, we want more Cable,’ the smart play for the studio is, especially in the competitive summer is, ‘okay, how can we do that? how can we add these characters?’ So what happened was in February or whenever it was, they did additional photography, where, guess what, they added Cable, or more Cable and they added more Domino. And so that’s the main thing about the additional photography. There was no trainwreck.
Obviously we will all have to wait and see for ourselves if Deadpool 2 is any good, but I’m hoping for the best.
