The Search for Francis | MCU Location Scout

Wade's murder board with pictures and notes trying to track down Francis.

Don’t make me ask twice. Where is Francis?

Wade decides that he needs to find the man responsible for his transfiguration and make him pay. This leads to a montage of scenes with him killing various people to get the answer to his simple question: “where is Francis?”

Bar

Wade’s first stop is a small bar, where he disguises himself in a white hoodie. This was filmed at the bar in the Astoria Hotel in Vancouver. Some of the distinctive brick arches are visible in the images below. Thanks to MovieMaps for finding this.

Boxing Ring

Deadpool’s next stop, after making some modification to his suit, is an underground boxing ring. According to MovieMaps, this was also shot at the Astoria Hotel–but there’s very little in the final film to compare this to.

Dilapidated Office Building

After further refining his suit, Deadpool leaps down a stairway and roughs up a guy in an office. MovieMaps lists this location (at least the stair portion) as part of the Livestock Barns at the Pacific National Exhibition. The production also shot a lot of the green screen footage in another building at the PNE, according to Cinefex 146.

Deadpool is also seen beating up a several men in a narrow hallway, and driving a Zamboni towards another man crawling along the ice. These scenes were also filmed at the Pacific National Exhibition, at the Agrodome–a facility that doubles as both an ice rink and a rodeo space.
