As Elektra (Jennifer Garner), Blade (Wesley Snipes) and Gambit (Channing Tatum) talk about returning to their own universes, Gambit says he is unsure whether he even has a universe to return to and that he may have been born in the Void. This references the unmade Gambit film starring Tatum, which spent years in development hell before Disney officially cancelled the project in 2019.

According to the screenwriters, what really excited Chris Evans about his role in the film was getting to deliver a profanity-filled rant in the film's final scene. Writer Rhett Reese said, "That was Ryan Reynolds's idea and it was so great because I think that's really the reason Chris was willing to do the cameo. Ryan wrote the stream of angry insults and Chris contributed a little too," to which co-writer Paul Wernick added, "I think it was a way for him to do something he could never do at Marvel Studios."

Securing the rights to use Madonna's "Like a Prayer" (1989) was a major feat, as Madonna rarely licenses her songs, especially that one. Ryan Reynolds and director Shawn Levy had to make a personal visit to show her the sequence and explain why it was used; according to them, it helped that her son is a big Deadpool fan. During the meeting, Madonna suggested a change to make the sequence better, and it was so good that they decided to reshoot within 72 hours. Reynolds called the experience "one of the great thrills of my life."

Hugh Jackman said he had truly retired from playing Wolverine after Logan (2017). He later said he regretted that statement after seeing the first Deadpool (2016) and expressed his interest to Ryan in having the two characters meet on screen. Asked why he chose to return for this film, he said only, "I just wanted to do it, and I felt it in my gut," adding that he wanted to have the best possible time on set with Ryan Reynolds. Likewise, Reynolds had wanted to work with Jackman since the first Deadpool film and was saddened by Jackman's retirement from the role.

James Mangold, the director and co-writer of Logan (2017), was consulted about the script to make sure the film did not interfere with his movie. He was happy that this film would bring the character back without affecting the ending of his film.

Wesley Snipes was proud of his role as Blade, but he did not believe he would get the chance to play the role again, especially after it emerged that he and Ryan Reynolds had not gotten along on the set of Blade: Trinity (2004). However, both Reynolds and Snipes have since claimed that this supposed "feud" was exaggerated by the media (though they played together cheerfully) and had more to do with Snipes's method acting and his dissatisfaction with the film than with any personal dislike of Reynolds. In fact, Reynolds said he saw Snipes as the "Marvel Daddy" whose Blade (1998) created the market for superheroes, so when Deadpool 3 was greenlit he called Snipes and offered him the chance to reprise his role. Although Snipes was doubtful about Disney and Marvel's approval, he said, "When you get a phone call out of the blue from Ryan Reynolds after 20 years, you say, 'Okay, I should answer this call. Let's see what this is about.'" The film pokes fun at their rumored animosity by having Blade say to Deadpool, "I don't like you," to which the latter replies, "I never liked you." The line may also have a double meaning, referencing the relationship between Blade and Reynolds's character Hannibal in Blade 3; there is a scene in which Hannibal tells another character that Blade does not like him, and he agrees.

While searching the multiverse for Wolverine, Deadpool encounters a comically short version of Wolverine; it is played for laughs but is comically accurate, since in canon Wolverine is 5'3" (1.60 meters) tall. However, the actor playing him, Luke Bennett (who used CGI to replace his face with Hugh Jackman's), is 5' (1.52 meters) tall.

Ryan Reynolds admitted that while filming he did not know the name of the MCU portals and instead came up with a funny nickname for them. He said, "At one point Deadpool called the portal the 'Marvel Sparkle Circle.' Mostly because when I was writing I didn't actually know what it was called. One of my favorite parts of this whole experience was hearing people at Marvel call it the 'Marvel Sparkle Circle' as well. Sad as it may be, I think it's my proudest achievement."

Kevin Feige was initially against bringing Hugh Jackman back as Wolverine because he worried it would undermine the events of Logan, a film Feige greatly respects. He eventually relented after it was confirmed that this film would focus on a different version of Wolverine and that Jackman genuinely wanted to return to the role. Jackman's only condition for returning was that Logan be depicted in the classic yellow-and-blue costume.

Hugh Jackman said: "I was on the road, just driving, and literally, like a bolt of lightning, I felt inside that I wanted to do this film with Ryan. For Deadpool and Wolverine to come together again. I swear, when I said I was done, I really thought I was done. But ever since I watched 'Deadpool' 1, I thought, 'These two characters together.' I knew it, I knew since I put the claws on that the fans wanted this, people were talking about the two of them. So it was always there, but now I knew. And I was really itching to come. As soon as I got there I called Ryan. I just said, 'Let's do it.' Like, I didn't call my manager, nobody. I called my manager and said, 'Oh, by the way, I just committed to a film a short while ago.'".

Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman first met on the set of X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009), and their friendship began there. While promoting that film, Reynolds said in an interview that at the end of his first day on the old film's set, Jackman came up to him and asked how he felt. Reynolds told him he felt his performance in the elevator scene wasn't very good. In response, Jackman had the cast and crew return to their stations so they could reshoot the scene and let Reynolds redo his performance better. Reynolds said he was impressed by this great gesture and never forgot it.

During the film's early development, several actors (including Hugh Jackman himself) wanted their characters to break the fourth wall alongside Deadpool to add to the film's comedic tone. However, Ryan Reynolds rejected the idea, feeling that a non-lead character making self-aware jokes would make him less distinctive and remove his unreliable-narrator status (though Jackman does get a chance to break the fourth wall in the film's "turn off your cell phones" message).

Asked whether Gambit's hard-to-understand accent in the film was "fair criticism," Channing Tatum responded: "'Fair' is an interesting word in that question. No, I don't think that's fair. That was" Ryan Reynolds. "There was very little improv. But the Cajun dialect is a very particular one," the actor continued. "I grew up in Mississippi and my father is from New Orleans. So it's one of the things I grew up around, but I'd never done it. There are some little isms that are very Cajun-ish, but we actually intended it to be a little unintelligible. It was kind of a joke," Tatum added. "[Ryan] would come up to me and say: 'I don't want to know anything you say about this [take], so I'm just going to turn all the way around,' and then he'd say to the others: 'All right, now I have to understand what he said.'".

Deadpool's insistence to Blind Al that "Kevin" (Marvel Studios CEO Kevin Feige) bans cocaine use was not just a joke, as director Shawn Levy confirmed that drug use was explicitly prohibited in the film.

When Deadpool and Wolverine fight for the first time, Logan begins the fight in a primal stance and charges on all fours like an animal. In an anecdote Hugh Jackman shared from the filming of the first X-Men film, because he was unfamiliar with both the wolverine animal and the Wolverine character, he had tried running on all fours and incorporating wolf-like behavior into his performance until he was told to stop because it looked ridiculous.

Logan's adamantium skull in the film's opening sequence is marked with the serial number "24601," which is the prisoner number of Jean Valjean, whom Hugh Jackman played in Les Misérables (2012). Director Shawn Levy confirmed the Easter egg was intentional and admitted on Twitter that "we've been wondering, who would notice that first!" It is the Deadpool series' second reference to 24601, as it also appeared on the hand-drawn map by Wade in Deadpool 2 (2018).

A few weeks after the film's release, Dafne Keen confirmed that the Laura/X-23 she played is the same version seen in Logan (2017) and not a variant of her. Aaron Stanford would follow by saying that his version of Pyro is the same character last seen in X-Men: The Last Stand (2006). This makes him the same Pyro whom Logan rescued from Stryker's men in X2: X-Men United (2003); that this Pyro now helps capture a Logan variant who has fled his duties in the Void and thus caused the deaths of his X-Men (possibly including a Pyro variant) can be considered a kind of poetic justice. And in an interesting reversal, Laura/X-23, saved by the good Logan, now helps the notorious Logan save himself.

Weasel (T. J. Miller) does not appear in this film and is not referenced.

Although Miller later claimed that Reynolds had reached out to him and that they had cleared up misunderstandings, he has since repeated the same criticisms. However, he was most likely not asked back because he has recently been embroiled in numerous legal problems and abuse allegations, which led to him being fired from multiple films.

It was all done digitally and I agree, it probably would have looked a little creepy and frankly would have distracted from all his great dialogue."

Deadpool states that The Wizard of Oz first introduced the multiverse concept, which is true on several levels, at least as far as the film is concerned. First, the dream-walking concept. Dorothy faints in the tornado and indeed dreams that she is living the life of her colleague who was sucked up and sent to Oz, before returning home. Return to Oz explains why she wakes up at home and can physically travel to Oz. Second, physical travel. The Marvelous and Mighty Oz shows Oscar "Oz" Diggs traveling to Oz by tornado in his balloon, where he accidentally causes the creation of the Wicked Witch of the West, but dethrones her sister as ruler of Oz. He later fakes his death to create the spiritual floating head projection that will become the Wizard.

Building on a suggestion from Weta FX's compositing supervisor about Deadpool 2 (2018), the visual effects studio explored how machine learning could be used to help with the facial animation of Deadpool's mask in the film. According to visual effects supervisor Daniel Macarin, "The idea was, what if we processed the audio in such a way that it would look at similar pitch levels and all the finalized keyframes at volume levels and try to find what it thinks the facial performance should be?" The result provided a prediction of what Deadpool's mask might be given the input dialogue. The animation in Nuke could then use this as a starting point for the final subtle animation. Interestingly, this machine learning audio approach proved extremely valuable in terms of ambient stimulation, as Macarin explained, "whenever someone closes a car door or you hear an explosion in the background, the eye makes a small change or twitch. This wasn't normally something we would animate by hand because it wasn't part of the dialogue. But when we had machine learning paths with thousands of keys, you could scale down what it was doing and it gave the face a really nice ambient motion. It gave it a much more natural feel and didn't require the artist to make thousands of tiny micro keys to get those really subtle movements. It helped bring a little more life to the character than just a flat facial performance."

Cassandra Nova dies in a manner similar to how she killed Johnny Storm/The Human Torch. Midway through the film she peeled off her skin, causing her muscles, bones and internal organs to scatter.

Weta FX was solely responsible for the mask work on Deadpool in the film. The process began with a relatively conventional matchmove of the head, or anything requiring the head and face to interact, done with Nuke software. "Once we got that matchmove, the artist would work directly in Nuke to animate the mask," visual effects supervisor Daniel Macarin said, noting that the facial setup in Nuke was tied to Weta FX's standard facial system of roughly 128 face shapes. "We're also making some technical improvements in the last few shows to make sure the artist doesn't have to do a dramatic amount of cleanup. The only thing they're focused on is performance."

David Decio was first cast as TVA Outpost Tech in June 2023 and delivered the line "Fine indeed." He was placed at Pinewood Studios on 29 June, and filming began the next day at the 24th Street Station set on A Stage, Pinewood. On set he met director Shawn Levy and performed in full costume alongside leads Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds. Positioned at the middle console panel, David rehearsed the scene in which he was asked whether he could return for additional filming in late July due to a sudden change in the production schedule. However, he could not take part because of a pre-booked cruise, and a blonde female TVA employee seen in the final cut was brought in in his place. Interestingly, the reshoots never happened as planned; on 14 July the SAG-AFTRA strike shut down production entirely. In post-production, a voice actor addressed the performer and delivered David's original line "Fine indeed" with a sigh, uniquely preserving his contribution.
