Filming for Deadpool 2 Wraps Up

by April Carvelli
written by April Carvelli

Ryan Reynolds announced on Sunday, via Instagram and Facebook, that Deadpool 2 has finished filming. According to Mr. Reynolds, “DEADPOOL 2: A SONG OF FIRE AND ICE” is riddled with Easter Eggs in almost every scene.

Ryan Reynolds also plans to continue “shooting the film in [his] underwear from Josh Brolin’s well appointed living room.”

He also gave us some interesting photos, such as the names of his katanas

Can it get any better than that?

Deadpool 2 hits theaters June 1, 2018 with a stellar cast to back up Ryan and Deadpool (after all, they could carry the film on their own). Cable (Josh Brolin) and Domino (Zazie Beetz) will have prominent roles which will carry them into the planned X-Force movie. We will also get to see the reappearance of some of our original cast favorites such as Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand), Colossus (Stefan Kapicic) and Vanessa (Morena Baccarin).

Stuntwoman Joi ‘SJ’ Harris Dies on Set of ‘Deadpool 2’

by April Carvelli
written by April Carvelli

When you think of dangerous careers, a few that come to mind: police officers, firemen and prison guards. You don’t think of actors as having a dangerous profession, but when you think of everything that happens on set on a daily basis, it is a lot more dangerous than you realize. Especially for that elite group of actors that do stunts.

Filming for ‘Deadpool 2’ was abruptly shut down on August 14th after stuntwoman Joi ‘SJ’ Harris died on the set. The Deadpool sequel was Harris’ first role as a stunt performer. She was the stunt double for Domino, played by Zazie Beetz.

Witnesses told Deadline that Harris lost control of her motorcycle and crashed through a plate-glass window at Shaw Tower during the filming of a scene.  Unfortunately she was not wearing a helmet as the character she was portraying, Domino, does not wear one.

The cast and crew are saddened by the tragedy.

Here’s Your First Look At Josh Brolin’s Cable From ‘Deadpool 2’

by Tori Ann
written by Tori Ann

Last week we shared the first look on Zazie Beetz as Domino, and now it’s Josh Brolin‘s turn to debut his new look as Cable. Back in May, we shared some photos of the actor working out to get in shape to play the mutant, and it seems like his hard work has paid off.

Ryan Reynolds once again shared the photos of his Deadpool 2 co-star on Facebook and Twitter. He shared two photos this time, the first a full-length body shot of the character and the caption, “Oh… Hello #Cable.” The second is a close-up of the character with one finger to his lips, reading, “We all have that one, grumpy, heavily armed Uncle from the future. #PremiumCable #MaximumAsshole.”

Brolin looks every inch the time-traveling warrior, from the large gun to the cybernetic arm and eye, as well as the scars around one eye. While no details about his role in Deadpool 2 has been made known yet, it is has been speculated that his character will start as an antagonist towards Deadpool, then they will ultimately team up.

Deadpool 2 is due to be released June 1, 2018.

What Deadpool 2 character would you like to get a look at next? What role do you think Brolin’s Cable will play in the film? Let us know in the comments!

‘Deadpool 2’: Get Your First Look of Zazie Beetz as Domino

by Tori Ann
written by Tori Ann

Last year’s Deadpool movie was a smash hit, and there’s no doubt that Deadpool 2 is going to try and top that. In adding classic characters like Cable, Black Tom Cassidy, and Domino, the filmmakers are certainly giving Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool plenty to work with.

We previously shared how actress Zazie Beetz had been cast in the role of Domino, but today Reynolds tweeted out a photo of Beetz as Domino. She is lying in front a fireplace (in direct reference to a Deadpool poster of the Merc with a Mouth doing the same), but this time she’s lying in top of Deadpool as if it were the carpet. Reynolds added the caption “Some people just know how to work a red carpet.”

As of yet we only have one teaser trailer for the film, which was attached to screenings of Logan.

 

 

Deadpool 2 has a planned release date of June 1, 2018.

What do you think of this first look of Beetz as Domino? How do you think her character will fit into the film? Let us know in the comments!

Jack Kesy Cast As ‘Deadpool 2’ Villain

by Tori Ann
written by Tori Ann

The cast for Deadpool 2 seems to be shaping up very nicely. Not only do we have Josh Brolin and Zazie Beetz joining as Cable and Domino respectively, but it looks like the film now has it villain.

Earlier today, it was announced that Jack Kesy has been added to the sequel in ‘a major villain role’. His exact role has not been announced, but it has been speculated that he will be portraying the Dublin-born mutant Black Tom Cassidy.

Black Tom has the power to manipulate, bond with, and project energy through plant life. He can also issue concussive blasts through the use of a wooden object, usually a shillelagh. He is the long-time crime partner of the super-strong Juggernaut, and the cousin of the X-men’s Banshee. The character first appeared in Uncanny X-Men #101 in October 1976.

Here is the teaser trailer for Deadpool 2, and you can read the full text from it here.

 


Deadpool 2 is scheduled to be released June 1, 2018.

Zazie Beetz Cast as Domino in DEADPOOL 2

by April Carvelli
written by April Carvelli

Zazie Beetz has apparently been chosen for the role of Domino in Deadpool 2, as announced via Twitter by Ryan Reynolds.

It might take a little bit, but the name Zazie Beetz is spelled out in the Domino Dots.

If you are like me, you have never heard of her and probably have to IMDB her. Zazie is a young, German-born actress who has no credits until 2013 when she appeared as the lead in a short, no-budget film called The Crocotta. Since then she has had a handful of credits to her name, most notably as Vanessa (aka Van) in the Donald Glover TV series Atlanta.

I don’t know if she’s a good or bad choice, I haven’t seen enough of her acting to make a call on that. Ryan Reynolds is a huge Deadpool fan, and one who kept the first movie true to the fandom, so let’s hope he continues in the same vein.
