As the writers’ strike continues, several productions have opted (or been shamed) into shutting down filming. Writers form an integral part of a filmmaking team — would a film even exist without them? — and their presence on set ensures that they can consult with the other crew members, clarify the script, or rewrite scenes on the fly. Since union guidelines mandate that a member cannot write during a strike, writers cannot currently do any of their duties.
So, it was quite shocking when it was announced Deadpool 3 was entering production and continuing on with filming. The Deadpool franchise features significant creative contributions from series star Ryan Reynolds — his adlibbing was part of the film’s appeal, and he’s even credited as a writer on Deadpool 2. As he’s a WGA member, however, Reynolds must adhere to the rules of the strike, and cannot improvise any lines on the set of Deadpool 3 — doing so would constitute scabbing.
