In the information age, when so many accounts rely on giving away movie details before they're out, it can feel like you're not really in for any surprises when you go to a cinema nowadays. However, Marvel has tried to prevent this in Deadpool & Wolverine.
Executive producer Wendy Jacobson explained to GamesRadar that several fake leaks were strategically planted online to keep the real cameos as much of a surprise as possible. Essentially, she stated that not everything read online is accurate.
Jacobson also clarified that cameos in the film are made for story purposes, not just for the sake of including them. Without confirming or denying any specific cameos, she emphasized that no element in the movie was meant to feel like a mere gimmick. Any character appearance had to serve a crucial story purpose and possess a beginning, middle, and end in their character arc. This process involved a collaborative effort to determine who fit into the story and who did not.
Deadpool & Wolverine is set to release this Friday. For those interested, our detailed thoughts on the film can be found in our review here.
