“A moment between Deadpool and Spider-Man would be a dream. “I think we could have a lot of fun with it,” he told Polygon in an interview around the time of Deadpool and WolverineThe liberation.
Macarin believes that ILM's work on Spider-Man's masked facial expressions from Captain America: Civil War were partly inspired by Wētā deadpool work. “They did it.” [the digital] work on Spider-Man,” he said. “I think a lot of that had to do with the influence of when we did it in deadpool – gave them a little 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's Spider-Man. “It gives something to the character.”
But Macarin would like to take those expressions further. “I think there is room to do more about it,” he said. “Some of the humor that Tom Holland has, which he brings out in his character. I really love it and feel like we could definitely put that mask on him.”
ILM's version of Spider-Man in Civil war was a completely digital creation, but in the Deadpool films, Wētā only makes minor adjustments to the actual images of the costumed actors, manipulating faces so that their emotions are more obvious in the masks. (For example, in Deadpool and WolverineRyan Reynolds insisted that he wanted audiences to be able to see his character's love for Dogpool written all over his masked face.)
It's highly likely that if Disney ever puts Spider-Man and Deadpool in the same movie, Macarin will be involved: he's worked on several previous Marvel Studios films as a digital effects supervisor, including the Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2and Iron Man 3. And he has no intention of letting anyone else take over as Deadpool for future films.
“I was involved in the technological side [of 2016’s Deadpool]not in the artistic aspect,” he said. “The guy in the office right next to me [right now] ran deadpool 1. [But] Since I understood the technology and am a big fan of the character, I took over the role. Deadpool 2and since then I have kept it closed because I refuse to let it go.”
