Writers Reveal That Deadpool Almost Took on All the Avengers in ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’

For many fans, the most anticipated film of the year is Deadpool & Wolverine, currently in theaters and starring Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool. The movie has been a massive hit worldwide, filled with numerous Easter Eggs that fans are eagerly discovering and discussing.

However, while the film features plenty of hidden gems, there were also several exciting moments that didn’t make the final cut due to various reasons. One of these scenes, which has recently come to light, was particularly intriguing.

It turns out the writers had some fascinating ideas for the film that ultimately didn’t make it to the screen. Among these was a scene where Deadpool takes on the Avengers, which the writers have described in detail. We’re here to share all the details of that scrapped moment.

In an interview with IndieWire, Deadpool & Wolverine writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick shared some fascinating insights into the film’s production. One of the most intriguing details they revealed was a scene that almost featured Deadpool taking on the Avengers in his own unique style. Wernick and Reese began by sharing the following:

Wernick: We haven’t told anybody this, but there was a version of that scene very, very early on that wasn’t written, but was conceived, that had all the Avengers in the room. And Wade was rejected and then he dressed all the Avengers down in a way only Deadpool could do.

Reese: That’s a little bit of a scoop, but he was going to get mad and basically attack each one of them in a vicious kind of way.

The writers then went on to describe what would have unfolded in that scene:

Give me your favorite vicious attack against an Avenger.

Reese: He was definitely going to try to pick up Thor’s Hammer. We did have that in there.

Wernick: I think Peter [Rob Delaney] was in the room, and Peter just casually picked up Thor’s hammer.

Reese: Oh, that’s right. Peter casually picked up Thor’s Hammer in the background. That was the joke. You’re right. You’re absolutely right. Originally, Peter accompanied him there. There were never screenplay pages, but it was the idea of the scene. I remember pitching that he was going to try to get Captain America to swear. I don’t really remember too much else in terms of the details, but yeah, he was going to dress them down to be sure.

You know what that scene sounds like? It sounds expensive.

Reese: And an impossible schedule! Can you imagine trying to coordinate that? I mean, we lucked out on “Deadpool 2.” We had a cameo with all the X-Men, but they happened to be shooting a movie at the time together. It’s really easy to grab them. Simon Kinberg grabbed them on his set and shot that side of it, but we didn’t have that here and, goodness knows, it would’ve been impossible. That’s sort of like the “We Are the World” documentary where they tried to get Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel and Cyndi Lauper, Michael Jackson all together at once. Impossible.
