Blake Lively Influences Deadpool and Wolverine Ending

Blake Lively's input significantly influenced the ending of 'Deadpool & Wolverine,' as revealed in the film's audio commentary by director Shawn Levy and star Ryan Reynolds. Originally, the plot showed the titular characters quickly surviving after defeating the Time Ripper, but Lively suggested adding suspense to enhance emotional impact. This led to a brief reshoot that only took a day-and-a-half, which is notably short for a film of this scale, allowing for a more dramatic reveal of the characters' fate. Levy praised Lively's contribution, stating that her note opened up new perspectives on the film's climax, resulting in a more satisfying payoff. The film has been a commercial success, grossing $1.33 billion worldwide and is now available on physical media. Lively's role as Lady Deadpool was limited to voice work, but her behind-the-scenes influence was substantial.
