Brianna Hildebrand, who plays Negasonic Teenage Warhead in Deadpool 2, has commented on the purported poor test screening and reshoots.
There was a lot of talk online regarding some apparently poorly received test screenings for Deadpool 2 and the subsequent reshoots that were scheduled. While this initially worried a lot of fans, it was later revealed that the test screenings actually went well and the reshoots were pretty standard practice.
Hildebrand has now clarified events herself while speaking to ScreenGeek about why the reshoots occurred: “No, it was nothing that had gone wrong. I think it’s a common misconception too – that people think that reshoots are to fix things that people didn’t like. A lot of the time, reshoots are to add more of the things that people loved. [Filmmakers] watch their films again and are like ‘better fix that.’ I don’t know how much I can say about that.
“Usually films hate it when you talk about their reshoots – solely because people think that it’s because the film was bad for the test audience – but it was all good,” Hildebrand said.
This is certainly in line with what Collider reported on the issue, and that the reshoots were scheduled to add more of Domino and Cable into the film after both proved popular with audiences.
