‘Deadpool 2’ Director David Leitch on That Surprising Vanisher Cameo: ‘It Was One Take’
(Spoiler alert: Do not read on if you haven’t seen “Deadpool 2.”)
Fans all over the nation were surprised when a familiar face popped up for three seconds in “Deadpool 2.” But did he, or didn’t he, actually film the sequence?
When the X-Force is coasting through the air on their mission to rescue the young mutant Russell (Julian Dennison), an empty backpack is seen soaring through the sky. It’s none other than Vanisher, a mutant whose superpower is invisibility. However, when Vanisher meets his end with a live electrical wire, we see Brad Pitt sizzle on the screen.
“We did have him on set for about eight minutes,” director David Leitch told TheWrap.
