Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool & Wolverine has made a major change ahead of its release later this month. In the 30-second TV Spot released on July 1, fans found out that the color grading had been significantly altered. Fans, who saw the recently released Chinese version of the theatrical trailer, also noticed similar changes.
It is speculated that this will be the finalized color grading of the film. However, many fans are not happy with the new change, commenting that it looks worse now. Ever since the film’s first trailer dropped in April, the color grading had been a point of contention among fans.
Fans Are Not Happy With The New Color Grading Changes to Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool 3
The new TV spot released for Ryan Reynolds‘ Deadpool & Wolverine caught fan attention with its new color grading. Fans noticed the drastic difference in the saturation between the trailer released in April and the current TV spot. Fans speculate that the new look has been finalized for theatrical release.
Interestingly, the Chinese version of the Deadpool 3 trailer was released earlier, featuring what fans believe to be the finalized VFX and color grading (via @CineGeekNews | X). Fans were not exactly thrilled to see the new changes in color grading.
One fan on X shared that the movie now looked slightly worse. However, the fan also doubted whether the film was trolling all the color grading hate it received during the release of the first trailer. Many fans in the comment section agreed that the original teaser had a better look visually.
One fan shared that the earlier look was apt for the film as it helped the colors to pop out. Another fan criticized the new coloring, sharing that it looked like they just turned on the warm filter. One fan bashed all the so-called ‘experts’ online, who had no clue what they were talking about. Some of the fan reactions read:
It looks slightly worse. But im positive they did it to troll all the people saying it looked "too grey" the first time around

I kinda liked the one before just because it made the colors pop out more

I just feel like people who discuss the quality of the color grading are just trying to act smart but don't know enough about film to discuss anything substantial. Like you're sitting here saying "Oooh big improvement" when they just went from blue to orange…

Deadpool 3 is all set to change MCU history as Reynolds’ Wade Wilson and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine embark on a reluctant mission.
What Was The Issue About the Deadpool & Wolverine Color Grading?
After the trailer for the Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman starrer was released in April, many fans complained that the color grading of the film looked washed out. Some fans began to fix the problem, while others did the same to mock the haters (via Know Your Meme).
One X fan, @un_dead_exe, shared images of Jackman from the X-Men franchise and the current film, commenting, “Whatever happened to color grading”. The fan immediately got several responses, some of them mocking the comparison. @grnformicatable shared, “Whatever happened to oiling up hugh jackman and lightly toasting him”.
The mocking of the hate continued, with some accounts like @jere7my and @TheRealTCU sharing images from the teaser after increasing the saturation to the maximum. It appears that the debate between fans on the topic will continue after the new change from Marvel’s side.
Deadpool & Wolverine is scheduled to be released on July 26, 2024.
