Blake Lively helped change Deadpool and Wolverine ending

Blake Lively's feedback helped change Deadpool and Wolverine's ending

Blake Lively helped change the ending of 'Deadpool and Wolverine'.

The actress - who is married to the film's star Ryan Reynolds - makes a brief cameo appearance as Lady Deadpool in the superhero movie and she gave her thoughts on the plot to director Shawn Levy telling him there wasn't enough "suspense" and he decided she was right so he ordered a major reshoot.

According to Games Radar, Levy said: "Credit where credit is due. It used to be that there was no suspense, that the power room blew up, and our heroes had survived.

"It was Blake Lively who said to us,: 'You know, I’ve been with you this whole movie. I want to sit in the fear that they’re lost. Let me be in that place of suspense so the triumph of their survival is more emotional and visceral'."

Levy added: "It really opened up a new way of thinking about this part of the movie and it’s why we did this reshoot … and, here, the payoff is so much more satisfying."

Reynolds added of the changes: "We did just a day-and-a-half of reshoots on the movie, which we're very proud of. These kinds of movies typically involve weeks of reshoots."

Lively previously admitted she is keen to get involved with her husband's work and values his feedback on her own projects.

She told E! News: "We help each other. He works on everything I do. I work on everything he does. So his wins, his celebrations are mine, and mine are his."
