Shawn Levy Used Key STAR WARS Scene To Craft “Jedi Moment” For DEADPOOL 3

Reflecting on the power of movies with Esquire, director Shawn Levy shared how STAR WARS: RETURN OF THE JEDI inspired a scene in Marvel Studios’ upcoming DEADPOOL 3:

“I’m now making Deadpool 3, the production of which was paused because of the actors’ strike,” he said. “For one key scene in the movie, I said to my stunt and action team, ‘Guys, this is the Jedi moment.’ I pulled up that scene of Vader and Luke on my phone and restudied how it was photographed, how it was blocked, the framing, the tempo. The keen Star Wars fan will see the shot in my Deadpool movie that was inspired by a moment that I saw in a theater decades ago. That’s a forever memory. And that’s a treasure.”

Deadpool 3 is currently undated as the strike continues. As the weeks past, it’s looking more obvious that filming won’t resume until early next year.
