I'm Shawn Levy, the director, co-writer and co-producer of Deadpool & Wolverine. “So what made you finally want to wear a real costume?” That scene happens halfway through the movie when Deadpool and Wolverine, this unlikely duo, are on this quest they usually come across an incongruous diner in the course of this empty landscape. And it's really the primary meaningful dialogue scene between the 2 of them. That's at all times been certainly one of Ryan's and my favorite scenes since we wrote it since it puts two iconic antiheroes into this incredibly generic cliche of the Americana road movie. So the discrepancy of those images – two superheroes sitting in a booth in a '50s diner. That was exciting. “Do you want to talk about what's haunting you or should we wait for a third act flashback?” “Uh, come on [muted] himself.” As the scene develops, we reveal here in a sort of monologue… “In my world, you are, uh, [clears throat] You are appreciated.” …he's a fan. He's a bit of awestruck and really jealous of the mythic status of Wolverine. It's a quieter scene than we're used to. It's an extended dramatic monologue than I believe Wade Wilson has ever done. “My girlfriend left me and — “You had a girlfriend?” “Yes, Vanessa. When we met, she was a dancer. We had an entire life.” And it was a joy for Ryan and I to put in writing the script because this movie is, I hope, as funny as people expect it to be and as action-packed, but we actually strove to make it warm and more meaty on an emotional basis rooted within the characters than people might expect from a Deadpool movie. And I believe the emotionality of the movie may thoroughly prove to be its most subversive element.
