VANCOUVER (Reuters) – “Deadpool” star Ryan Reynolds said on Monday that actors and crew were “heartbroken, shocked and devastated” at the death of a driver in a motorcycle stunt in Vancouver that went wrong.
“Today, we tragically lost a member of our crew while filming ‘Deadpool’,” Reynolds, a native of Vancouver, said in a message on his social media platforms.
Vancouver police confirmed the death on Monday of the stuntwoman on the set of 20th Century Fox’s superhero movie “Deadpool 2” but gave no further details and did not release her name.
Local media said the woman appeared to lose control of the motorbike, which drove off the set and through the window of a building across the street.
The film is a sequel to the 2016 R-rated comedy “Deadpool,” starring Reynolds as the foul-mouthed Marvel superhero Deadpool.
