Deadpool isn’t getting a director’s cut, as the official word made clear, but there were indeed a lot of deleted scenes and a lot of cut content from the movie that would be very interesting to see.
The Youtube channel Mr. Movie Sunday detailed a lot of the stuff from Deadpool that we didn’t get to see. The list includes deleted scenes such as:
- Wade travelling the world trying to get a cure for his cancer and being swindled out of his money
- Wade, after the mutation, trying to kill himself in a montage, but continuously failing due to his regeneration.
- Extended highway fight scene, cut due to budgetary reasons.
- The original final battle was going to be a building rather than a large boat, and it was going to be Dredd-style “climbing the tower” action.
There were also several characters that were to appear, either as cameos or with full-fledged appearances, that were ultimately cut, including:
- Taskmaster
- Sluggo
- Garrison Kane
- Dr. Killbrew
- Wolverine (Obviously)
Wolverine was actually only cut because of scheduling reasons, not because of budget or story constraints. It is very sad that we didn’t get another X-Men First Class-esque cameo, but at least the rest of Deadpool was still great.
