'Deadpool 2' Test Screenings Earn High Grades; Secret Cameo planned
We are pleased to report Fox’s still "Untitled Deadpool 2 Sequel" has earned high grades among test audiences!
Check out the official trailer below!
With just under two months until Deadpool 2’s release, the David Leitch-helmed sequel held their third and final test screening in Dallas, Texas. Fox's previous screen tests received scores of 91 and 97 (on a scale of 100) - not bad considering Deadpool's (2016) highest test score was 91. The most recent screen test evaluated two different cuts simultaneously, with each cut yielding audience scores of 94 and 98!
A source with direct knowledge told The Hollywood Reporter that Fox is using the cut which scored a 98 – not a total shocker. Of course, it remains to be seen which of the cuts (94 or 98 or both?) incorporated the recent reshoots which also included two hours-worth of work in L.A. for a SECRET CAMEO. Really?
We do know Deadpool’s latest reshoots were, in part, a result of audience feedback from the previous two screen tests. So kudos to Producers Lauren Schuler Donner and Simon Kinberg for listening to fandom.
So about that secret cameo..any guesses?
Deadpool 2 will be released in the UK on May 16 and US theaters on May 18.
