Lively had a brief appearance in the Marvel movie as Lady Deadpool, but the director's commentary revealed that the Gossip Girl star played a more significant part.

The film concludes with Deadpool and Wolverine's destiny unknown after they destroy the time ripper, as Matthew MacFadyen's Paradox gives an awful speech.
"Give credit where it's due." "There used to be no suspense; the power room blew up and our heroes survived," Levy says (via Games Radar). "It was Blake Lively who told us, You know, I've been with you the entire movie. I want to sit in worry that they've been lost. Allow me to remain in that state of anticipation so that the success of their survival is more emotional and visceral."
According to Levy, the reshoot allowed for a fresh perspective on this scene in the film. And here, the payout is far more pleasant.
Reynolds, who also produced the film, said, "We did only a day and a half of reshoots on the movie, which we're quite happy of. These movies frequently require weeks of reshoots. But Matthew's speech is one of the elements we reshot. "And he is miraculous."
Lively and Reynolds appear to influence each other's efforts. Earlier this year, Lively revealed that Reynolds created the "iconic rooftop scene" in It Ends With Us.
"The iconic rooftop scene, my husband actually wrote it," Lively told E! News on August 6. "Nobody knows that but you now."
Lively added, "We help each other. He works on everything that I do. I work on whatever he does. So his victories and celebrations are mine, as well as his."
