That , of course , has yet to happen — and Marvel ’s latest movie , Deadpool & Wolverine , addresses the thwarting principal - on . But what consultation do n’t know is that a different version of the scene would ’ve whole changed the purpose .
io9 recently spoke with Shane Reid , one of the editors ofDeadpool & Wolverine , who enjoin there was an alternate slice of the scene that was much more direct . “ There was really a take that we had in there for a while where [ Deadpool ] sneeze ‘ Mahershala , ’ which was really funny , ” Reid told io9 over video chat . “ And so it would be like , ‘ There ’s only ever be one Blade . ’ And he goes , ‘ Mahershala ! ’ But I think this is where we all trust Ryan [ Reynolds ] to know precisely what that character is and what the fans desire from Deadpool . ”
Reid explained that it was Reynolds ’ restraint with the character that changed the moment to what it is in the final film . “ As much fourth wall break as there is , there ’s also a lot of constraint from Ryan , ” he said . “ He really knows when to not give something that feels like it ’s overindulgent . And I guess he just did a take , whether or not it was Shawn ’s focusing on set or just Ryan , I do n’t know , but he just did one where he just take care right into the lens . And I suppose he just feel like that said everything it want to say , because it allow you to have your own opinion about it . And I think that ’s just a year option . ”
