The Deadpool movies are known for their seamless blend of physical sets and computer-generated imagery, creating the illusion of the Merc with a Mouth’s chaotic world. Interestingly, Deadpool and his antics are often set against the backdrop of Vancouver, a place that Ryan Reynolds, who portrays Deadpool, is intimately familiar with, as it is his hometown.
Both of the “Deadpool” films expertly mix real-life filming locations with CGI enhancements. As showcased in the DNEG reel, many scenes are a combination of practical effects and digital wizardry. For example, in a memorable part of the car chase scene from the middle of the movie, where Domino commandeers a prison truck and Deadpool follows on his motorcycle, the only non-CGI element is the actual road. The vehicles, Deadpool, and even the cab that collides with him are all digitally constructed. Nonetheless, the physical city of Vancouver plays itself, with no digital alterations.
