Deadpool 3 star Ryan Reynolds has commented on the recent leaked photos that have come from the set of the Marvel Cinematic Universe sequel.
On his Instagram account, Reynolds issued a statement about the leaks. In it, the actor notes the importance of filming the sequel in natural environments with practical effects, though this can lead to people taking photos of the set and of spoilers. He then says that though he understands spoilers partially come about as the result of people who are excited for the movie, he hopes news outlets and social media users won’t show off spoiler images.
“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.
“Here’s hoping some of the websites and social channels hold back showing images before they’re ready. 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.”
