Deadpool & Wolverine Producer Shares Some of the Wildest Ideas from the Production

Deadpool & Wolverine, featuring Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, is one of the year’s most highly anticipated films, as it brings these two iconic characters together for the first time—a long-awaited collaboration.

With the movie now released and performing well, fans are eager for every piece of information they can find. Consequently, both the actors and producers have been giving numerous interviews in recent weeks, offering fans a wealth of fascinating insights.

In a recent interview with SlashFilm, producer Wendy Jacobson shared intriguing details about the movie, including some hilarious moments from the production and a few outlandish ideas that were ultimately rejected. These insights, as you’ll discover in the following paragraphs, offer a glimpse into the film’s creative process.

In this exclusive interview, Wendy Jacobson discussed the film’s production and some of the unconventional ideas that were proposed but ultimately discarded. Jacobson shared details about these particularly quirky concepts:

Was that series ever used as a case study that, since Marvel fans already know a character that can break the fourth wall, maybe they can handle whatever Deadpool can throw at them?

[Laughs] Maybe. I think the truth is, with breaking the fourth wall, that comes from the source material for both characters, right? And “She-Hulk” was unique because it was the first time we were doing a series about this character in the MCU, but Deadpool was also unique because it’s really the first time that we were inheriting a character with its own history and legacy. So, I definitely got to take great experience from “She-Hulk” and bring it into “Deadpool.” But truthfully, with Ryan and Hugh and Shawn, you’re just letting those guys do their thing and I’m just here to help in any way that I can.

Before Hugh joined the project, Ryan and Shawn have hinted about all the different versions that this movie could have been. Can you think of any specific ideas off the top of your head?

[Laughs] There was definitely a “Sundance-size road trip with Dopinder” movie on the table. At one point, Ryan had this idea for a “Thor 2” frame-for-frame remake until the end of the first act. There was an idea for a deleted-scenes extravaganza where we were going to take famous MCU scenes, but show them from a different angle where you didn’t see that Deadpool got left on the cutting room floor. I mean, it was all over the place.
