Five years ago , Marvel Studios announcedit was makingBladewith multiple Oscar - success Mahershala Ali . 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 . ”

As intended , the look does say many things depending on how you perceive it . It could be saying “ ThatBlademovie will never happen . ” It could be saying “ Marvel , what ’s taking you so long ? ” It could even be a spirit at the camera and slam against Snipes for being wrong .
