The Technology Behind The Movie Deadpool

Deadpool; an antihero appeared in Marvel Comics series, when he made his first appearance in the comic books, the character was depicted as a supervillain. But later the character evolved into a more recognizable antiheroic persona. He is one of the last characters from Marvel Universe that has become a movie. Probably, the company wasn’t believed the movie too much; they didn’t spend too much money for making the Deadpool movie. Film’s budget was $58 million if you considering the other Marvel movies that have average $300 million dollar budget, this is a very small amount. But the movie did a great job with the earning $760 million dollars, is similar to the movies like;  Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy and, these two movies cost almost $170 million dollars to make.

When the film was rated as ” R ” ( R (Restricted) – Under 17 Requires Accompanying Parent Or Adult Guardian. ), many critics thought the movie will sink in the box office, but the Ryan Reynolds excellent performance and this antihero’s careless, funny personality get the people. Personally, I didn’t know this character even exist in Marvel Universe as many other who doesn’t familiar with America’s comic book culture, but the Deadpool get popular in a short time between almost everyone. 

The success of this movie is not only about the characters performance, but there was also a team who put their ” maximum effort ” to make the CGI effects and the suit which requires serious amounts engineering. The mask which looks like a fabric sock especially needed some serious work. Please watch the video learn more about the Mask of Deadpool.
