it was a whole lot of fun watching Deadpool 2 in theaters but since it's been a few years many aspects of the film come across differently nowadays from celebrity cameos to deleted scenes there's a lot about the movie that you may not have noticed the first time around at the beginning of deadpol 2 Wade Wilson is on top of the world he's reunited with his soulmate Vanessa and the two plan to start a family but they're tragically torn apart when she's killed by a straight bullet meant for her boyfriend Vanessa's death shapes the tone of the movie and wait character Arc as he sees visions of her that he interprets as encouragement to help Russell however Deadpool 2 has been criticized for making Vanessa a victim of quote fridging if you're not familiar with the term it's basically a plot device where a female character is put in Peril because the plot requires it did you ever see Commando it's like that think Alyssa Milano with Anie as her dad saving the day at the end director David Leech doesn't believe that Vanessa was fridged because the character emotionally underlines the whole movie but in truth Vanessa was initially never supposed to die at all leech admitted on the audio commentary we had versions where they broke up and she left him instead of dying according to Ryan Reynolds the whole tone of the movie would have changed if vanessa had lived as they might have actually had a child in the end leech felt to death was best for Deadpool's narrative as he wouldn't have had quite the same motivation if vanessa had survived in the original Deadpool fighting Francis probably would have gone a lot smoother if there were more than three mutants present to take him out before the big battle though Wade make sure the audience know knows exactly why we shouldn't expect to see Mega popular mutants like Wolverine or Cyclops this time around it's a big house it's funny that I only ever see two of you it's almost like the studio couldn't afford another X-Men before the climax of Deadpool 2 however this has proven not to be the case six of the most iconic members of the X-Men are clearly present in the x- Mansion it's just that they just don't want anything to do with Wade as annoying as Deadpool can be to deal with juggernaut's attack on an orphanage probably warranted some assistance from the more popular members of the superhero team so why didn't they show up once again the answer is more about behind the scenes limitations than plot Hol none of the X-Men were actually able to appear on the Deadpool 2 set because they were busy shooting dark Phoenix at the time as with many elements in today's superh hero movies The Cameo was added via green screen which means that Ryan Reynolds never actually got to hang out with James makoy and Evan Peters drawing production peters's recall to Cinema Blend we had a lot of different versions for when they opened that door and turn to us but the one they used was pretty chill whether he's stranded on mars or buying a zoo it's always a pleasure to see Matt Damon on the big screen even though he has yet to play a big shot superhero like his buddy Ben Affleck Damon has taken the opportunity to appear in multiple Marvel movies in 2017 stor Ragnarok Damon portrayed an Asgardian actor in the role of Loki and a year later he put on some Prosthetics to play a hillbilly who doesn't believe in the hygienic value of toilet paper toilet paper is plen fying appetizer but then huggy's Natural Care whip wips details of Damon's Cameo were kept under wraps and while his scene partner Alan tck is named in the credits Damon isn't he's credited as Dicky Greenleaf which is a reference to The Talented Mr Ripley and the identity that his character steals in that film his Cameo wasn't publicized or talked about in interviews until after the movie was released and plenty of viewers missed that it was him the first time around most of the casting crew members were kept in the dark as Reynolds and leech did everything they could to keep it Hush Hush Reynolds who co-wrote deadpol 2 pitched Damon the idea for the toilet paper scene over dinner director leech later admitted to kider we didn't even tell the crew his name wasn't on the cool sheet it was a fake name nobody really knew what that scene was about they were like why are we shooting these two red necks we just didn't tell anybody once cable arrives in the present Deadpool assembles the ex force in order to stop him from harming Russell the invisible hero vanisher joins the team but quickly meets his And Timely demise after strong winds blow him into electrical cables and zap him to a crisp it's only as he's electrocuted that vanisher becomes visible and once he is he's revealed to be played by Brad Pit you guys look amazing vanisher I have no doubt you look amazing too if you get the chance to put Brad Pit in your movie you should probably put him in your movie even if it's for Less Than 3 seconds of screen time fit had originally been in the running to play cable but back doubt due to a scheduling conflict even though Josh Brolin ended up playing the futuristic Warrior David Leech told told collider that pit still really wanted to be involved in the franchise he recalled he kind of left the door open when we left that meeting like if you guys ever need anything give me a call I'd love to be involved and Ryan just said oh I have an idea so he started to think about what it could be and the vanisher thing was perfect the only thing that pit requested as compensation for his appearance was a single cup of coffee well Matt Damon and Brad Pit's cameos were two of the most notable in Deadpool 2 it's probably Stan Le's that was the most anticipated late in his life the Marvel comic co-creator made a number of cameos in the MCU and other Marvel based films but his Deadpool to appearance wasn't what viewers were expecting unlike in the first movie where Lee played a strip club DJ his appearance in the sequel was purely two-dimensional Deadpool 2 celebrates Lee with a giant mural which can be seen when Domino is parachuting into the city David Leech explained to kollider that the colorful graffiti was included in the movie because scheduling issues precluded them from shooting Lee In the Flesh he elaborated we're always aware that you want to get a Stanley appearance in there but it was more like what would work and what was the time in place and our schedule was tight and things got away from us so by the time we were done with the movie he were thinking where could we plug him in during re-shoot leech denied at the time that Lee's absence was due to his rumored ill health sadly Lee's Health did begin to decline and he passed away just a few months after the release of Deadpool 2 his last ever Cameo was an Avengers endgame when it was announced that Domino would be a featured character in Deadpool 2 some fans were left one wondering how exactly the film would portray her power of perfect luck it seems that Ryan Reynolds noticed this because Deadpool's rant during Domino's attempt at saving Russell makes that exact point in a pretty ironic way in fact Deadpool is so insistent that luck isn't a superpower that he mocks the person who came up with the idea in the first place his insult doesn't make much sense unless you're familiar with the source material though what C out glass pipe suck a freak show comic book artist came up with that little Chestnut probably a guy who can't draw feet so who actually is a guy who can't draw feet that would be Rob leld comic book veteran and co-creator of the characters Deadpool Domino and cable leld is Infamous for avoiding having to draw feat as much as possible in his work even though many other artists in the medium have followed his lead over the years Ryan Reynolds reached out to clear the joke with life out who despite the implication that he smokes crack was thrilled to be included in the movie he told inverse there's no greatest shout out in the world Deadpool 2 was full of surprises when it first came out one of them being the presence of the super villain Juggernaut this wasn't the underwhelming Juggernaut from X-Men the Last Stand either this was a fully CGI Behemoth capable of ripping Deadpool in half like a Twinkie but who could play such a beast of a man just like Mike Myers and Austin Powers Ryan Reynolds plays both the anti-hero and the villain but he wasn't actually supposed to do it and he isn't named as the voice of Juggernaut in the credits after Deadpool 2 was released Reynolds revealed to Empire that he' just been standing in until they could find the more suitable voice actor which never ended up happening as he put it I just did it as a kind of temp it was this sort of Brooklyn Brawler voice that we modulated and post and cranked up and gave it all this base and reverberation we didn't settle on that just because it was quality we settled on that because we just didn't have any more budget left for other actors to jump in David Leech ended up doing motion capture for juggernaut's face which was brought to life thanks to the work of talented VI effect artist you know it has always been a dream of mine to see my face reflected in your helmet as you charge at me with murderous intent I don't mean right now in nearly every single time travel movie tampering with the past has disastrous consequences in the present Deadpool 2 is one of the rare exceptions armed with Cable's time travel device Wade makes some pretty major changes to the timeline with seemingly no ill effects at least not until Deadpool and Wolverine that is he saves Vanessa by killing her attacker with a cream cheese spreader takes out the mute version of Deadpool from X-Men Origins Wolverine and puts a bullet in Ryan Reynold's head before he can start production on Green Lantern it's a pretty happy ending overall and it creates a clear path for Marena backin to appear in Deadpool 3 as a mutant superhero copycat however Deadpool 2 almost had a completely different darker ending co-writer R Reese said the team was initially happy with their decision to kill Vanessa off without resurrecting her Reese told CBR we originally did not save her it was interesting we thought we might have to save her with the time machine because the audience would be mad at us but they were accepting of her being dead bringing Vanessa back was ultimately a last minute decision as they felt it was the best fit for the story and the future of the franchise when they called back hering up to let her know she was very receptive to the news one of Wade's time traveling Adventures that didn't make it into the theatrical release of Deadpool 2 involved him going back in time to kill Adolf Hitler as a baby in the deleted post credit scene he's ready to unleash hell on the newborn infant but he starts to struggle with the decision he eventually decides to let cable do the dirty work for him I think we both no I don't have what it takes to do this the scene was eventually released as part of the super duper cut in August 2018 Ryan Reynolds told The Hollywood Reporter that it caused a debate behind the scenes saying I always loved it because it created the same debate in our edit room as it does in the streets of the world it was debated back and forth and over and over again we were all a little nervous about it wondering is it too much in the end none of us could come to a consensus on how to handle it so our final decision was to just not handle it to just not put l in the movie
