Today, we tragically lost a member of our crew while filming Deadpool. We’re heartbroken, shocked, and devastated… but recognize nothing can come close to the grief and inexplicable pain her family and family must feel in this moment. My heart pours out to them — along with each and every person she touched in this world.
