Looks like we will get to see a lot of Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie. Buzz around the net implies that the reshoots we were told about last week were just to add more Deadpool.
According to a user on the site, “most of the footage shot included Reynolds and Wolverine himself, Hugh Jackman,” and Reynolds’ appearance will be significantly more than a cameo. This implies that at least some of the reshoots went to doing significant character work; whether you interpret that as good or bad, I leave up to you.
Now many people are thinking they upped Deadpool’s involvement in the film. I have a different opinion.
I think the reshoots offered the opportunity not to cut him OUT of the film. As Jackman explained to the fans, many of the retakes were just because of location problems and weather as well as scheduling conflicts. They call them “reshoots” because they happen after the film wraps principle photography. So these were likely just to ensure the scenes they wanted in the film originally were not lost as a result of inconvenience.
So I presume that this was to avoid cutting Deadpool out instead of adding more in.
