Despite the fact we’ve not seen a single second of Deadpool 3 footage, you’ll likely have already sunk your claws into a handful of its surprises. Both Hugh Jackman in a comics-accurate Wolverine costume and a curious prop – a gigantic 20th Century Fox logo – have both been spotted on location during filming for the new Marvel threequel.

Shawn Levy, speaking to Total Film magazine in the new issue out on September 14, which features Wonka on the cover, knows it comes with the territory.

"It bums me out that photos have leaked online. But this is the price we pay for committing to real locations," Levy says ahead of the release of his new Netflix series All The Light We Cannot See.

The director, who can count the likes of Free Guy and Stranger Things on his CV, adds, "I made a decision very early in prep that even though Deadpool is now in the MCU, I didn’t want another Marvel movie shot on a green screen stage with digital set extensions."

All The Light We Cannot See is streaming on Netflix from November 2.

The above is just a snippet of our interview in the new issue of Total Film magazine, which features Wonka on the cover. The magazine hits shelves this Thursday, September 14, and features new insight into everything from The Exorcist: Believer to Killers of the Flower Moon, as well as plenty of reviews for all of the latest releases.
