I’m Shawn Levy, the director, co-writer and co-producer of “Deadpool & Wolverine.” “So what made you finally wear an honest-to-God costume?” This scene happens at the midpoint of the film where Deadpool and Wolverine, this unlikely duo, are on this quest, and they come across an incongruous diner in the middle of this void landscape. And it’s really the first meaty dialogue scene between the two. So the mismatch of these visuals two superheroes sitting in a booth in a ‘50s diner. He is somewhat reverential and in fact envious of the mythic status of the Wolverine. And I think the emotionality of the film may very well prove to be its most subversive element.
