The recent release of “Deadpool & Wolverine” saw Disney request the removal of a joke about Mickey Mouse’s “c-ck” from the film, which had been included in the original script by Ryan Reynolds. Despite the cut, the script was released on Disney’s FYC portal, revealing the joke that didn’t make it to the big screen.
Director Shawn Levy revealed that the controversial line was replaced with a new dirty joke involving Pinocchio, showing Reynolds’ audacity in pushing boundaries. The film included other jabs at Disney, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and personal matters, such as the divorces of Hugh Jackman and Jennifer Garner.
“Deadpool & Wolverine” was Marvel’s first R-rated release, which paid off with a box office success of $1.3 billion, boosting Disney’s standing on Wall Street. The film is currently available to stream on Disney+.
Despite the behind-the-scenes drama, the film’s creative team praised Disney for allowing other controversial content to remain in the movie. This incident highlights the power Disney holds over its creative projects and the lengths they will go to maintain their brand image.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the next installment in the Deadpool franchise, with expectations high for more boundary-pushing humor and action-packed sequences.
