Leitch said it only took “about four or five minutes” to shoot the cameo, which was filmed in front of a green screen at Fox’s studios. “When we landed on the Vanisher cameo, it seemed perfect for everybody.” “When we reached out to him to be involved in the movie in some way, I think he was pretty excited to find someplace where he could help,” he continued. “I think it was a love of Deadpool and sort of what that sort of global phenomenon that it was,” Leitch said.
