Deadpool, the Merc with a Mouth, has provided the world with so much joy through the years. And thanks to the brilliance of Ryan Reynolds and an incredible and creative team of filmmakers, the beloved comic book character has been brought to life in spectacular fashion not once but twice. Both ‘Deadpool’ films have been hilarious, exciting and subversive in all the best ways possible, and each of them has plenty of behind the scenes secrets that even the most enthusiastic fan might not know about.

For instance, did you know that famed filmmakers James Cameron and David Fincher were early proponents of the first ‘Deadpool’ film’s script? They kept pushing 20th Century Fox to make it happen until it finally did. Because you’d be crazy to say ‘no’ to David Fincher and James Cameron.

Deadpool is able to get away with saying all kinds of crazy stuff, but there were a few jokes deemed too extreme to make it into the final cut. One such example is Deadpool carrying out his plan to assassinate baby Hitler. Another was a jab at Disney that Fox forced Reynolds and company to take out of the final cut of the film.

Reynolds was so insistent on having the writers on set to help adjust the film’s script on the fly that when he learned the studio wasn’t paying for them to be on set he offered to pay them out of his own salary. Tim Miller, the first ‘Deadpool’s’ director, ended up clashing with Reynolds over creative differences for ‘Deadpool 2.’ This led to Miller being replaced as director by ‘John Wick’s’ co-director David Leitch.

There are plenty more great tidbits where those came from. Tune in to learn even more!
