Writers Reveal Deadpool Almost Fought All the Avengers in 'Deadpool & Wolverine'

For many fans, the most anticipated film of the year is Deadpool & Wolverine, which is currently airing and stars Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool. The film, which is presently enjoying tremendous success in theaters all over the world, has numerous Easter Eggs that fans are constantly finding and counting.

But, while the Easter Eggs that did make the final cut are numerous, there are also many exciting moments that almost made it in the movie, but were scrapped and/or rejected because of various reasons, and one such scene seems to have been particularly interesting in that aspect.

Namely, it was recently revealed that the writers had several interesting ideas for the movie, but not all made it into the final cut. One of the more interesting ones was a scene involving Deadpool and the Avengers, which the writers described in full detail, and we are going to report on that.

In an interview given to IndieWireDeadpool & Wolverine writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick revealed some interesting details about the movie’s production, and one of the more interesting details is a scene that seemed to involve Deadpool fighting all the Avengers in his own, special way. It started with Wernick and Reese revealing 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.

After that, the writers proceeded to explain what would have happened 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.
