Deadpool & Wolverine’s VFX guy has plans for a Spider-Man team-up

“A moment between Deadpool and Spider-Man – it would be a dream. I think we could have a lot of fun with it,” he said in an interview at the time Deadpool and WolverinePublication.

Macarin detests ILM’s work on Spider-Man’s masked facial expressions Captain America: Civil War were partly inspired by Wētās Dead Pool work. “They did [the digital] Working on Spider-Man,” he said. “I think that had a lot to do with the influence when we made it Dead Pool

– it gave them some kind of opening We can animate this. This is a personal feeling – [I think they realized] that they could animate Spider-Man’s mask and people would still believe it was Spider-Man. It adds something to the character.”

But Macarin would like to push these expressions further. “I think there’s room to do more with it,” he said. “Some of the humor that Tom Holland has and that he brings out in his character – I really love him and I think we could definitely pull off that mask.”

ILM’s version of Spider-Man in Civil War

Was a completely digital creationbut in the Deadpool films, Wētā makes only minor changes to the real footage of the costumed actors, manipulating the faces in ways that make their emotions in the masks more obvious. (For example in Deadpool and WolverineRyan Reynolds insisted that audiences could see his character’s love for Dogpool on his masked face.)

Chances are good that if Disney ever puts Spider-Man and Deadpool in the same film, Macarin will be involved: he has worked as a digital effects supervisor on a number of previous Marvel Studios films, including The Avengers

, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2And Iron Man 3. And he has no intention of leaving Deadpool to anyone else for future films.

“I was involved on the technical side [of 2016’s Deadpool]not on the art side,” he said. “The guy in the office right next to me [right now] ran Dead Pool 1. [But] Since I understood the technology and am a big fan of the character, I took on the role Deadpool 2and since then I’ve kind of kept it locked up because I refuse to give it up.”
