Deadpool & Wolverine took the world by storm when it was released over the summer, quickly breaking records and becoming a global hit.
We’ve even seen Deadpool and Wolverine pop up in a pretty unlikely place — Disneyland Resort! The two heroes have been telling stories at Disney California Adventure, and if you know anything about Deadpool, it’s probably that he’s not exactly kid-friendly and even pokes fun at Disney and Mickey Mouse himself. But, as it turns out, there was one joke in the original Deadpool & Wolverine script that was SO vulgar, Disney forced writers to cut it altogether.
Deadpool & Wolverine was a box office hit this summer, and the film was full of jokes about the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the personal lives of the actors, and yes — even Disney. But, according to Variety, there was one joke that Disney asked Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds to keep out of the final script.
Ahead of the film’s release, Reynolds shared in interviews that one Deadpool joke was left out of the movie — but he hadn’t confirmed what that joke was. Now that the original script has been released by Disney, we officially know what the House of Mouse was trying to avoid in the final movie, and we can’t really say we blame them (although it is a pretty funny gibe if you ask us!).
Fair warning if you haven’t seen the movie — SPOILERS AHEAD! Don’t say we didn’t warn you. Okay, the line is from the moment after Deadpool learns that Magneto is already dead, so he breaks the fourth wall out of anger and shouts, “F—! What we can’t even afford one more X-Man? Disney is so cheap. I can barely breathe with all this Mickey Mouse c— in my throat.”
But, ultimately, the line that replaced this one was only slightly less vulgar. In a prior interview with Entertainment Weekly, the film’s director, Shawn Levy, said:
“There was only one line in the entire movie that we were asked to change,” he said. “We have made a pact, Ryan and I, to go to our grave with that line, but I will say that it was replaced with an equally dirty line of dialogue about Pinocchio shoving his face up Deadpool’s a– and starting to lie like crazy. I was like, ‘Ryan, that’s your replacement line in response to, ‘Can we clean it up?’ That’s Ryan Reynolds for you, audacious to the very edge.”
It looks like Levy and Reynolds won’t get to take this one to the grave after all since the official script has been released with the original joke still in it.
We’re honestly shocked Disney let the Deadpool & Wolverine writers get away with as much as they did — but hey, it’s a rated-R movie for a reason! Just keep this in mind if you’re planning on streaming this movie on Disney+ and don’t want little ears in the house to hear some of the more vulgar jokes and language in the film.
