Deadpool and Wolverine (Deadpool and Wolverine) continues to give us something to talk about. The film, starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, arrived on Disney+ this month after a highly successful run in cinemas around the world. Shawn Levy’s film was no masterpiece, it was the irreverent spectacle that fans had come to expect, with numerous throwbacks to Disney, Fox, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
It is obvious that those responsible for Deadpool and Wolverine They had almost absolute creative freedom to make fun of anything and everything. And we say “almost absolute” because Disney asks for Mickey Mouse joke to be removedhis favorite icon and talisman.
A few months ago, Ryan Reynolds confirmed that Disney asked him to remove one joke from the film’s script. Deadpool and Wolverinebut refused to publicly say what its contents were. But now the corporation itself has revealed what the discord joke was all about.
Walt Disney Studios has released the original script for the film. Deadpool and Wolverine on its microsite dedicated to the film. The document is available to anyone who cares to read it, and it lays out some pretty interesting details.
Before we get into the content of the Mickey Mouse joke, we must mention an interesting fact. To avoid revealing some of its most notable sequences, the film’s writers decided to use fantastic names for characters such as Elektra, Laura/X-23, Blade and Gambit. In the booklet they appear as “Eleven”, “Lemon”, “Billy” and “Gatsby”, respectively. Something similar is happening with Henry Cavill and Chris Evans.
Mickey Mouse joke that Disney asked to remove Deadpool and Wolverine
Returning to the question of Mickey Mouse, the original script Deadpool and Wolverine includes mention pretty obvious character. This occurs after Laura takes Wade and Logan to a hideout shared by exiled heroes from the pre-MCU films in the Void.
When Deadpool meets Elektra, Gambit and Blade, the latter tells him that there are actually four of them in the group. The Merc with the Mouth asks if the last member is Magneto, to which the Daywalker replies that he is dead. It is at this moment that the main character expresses a rather rude complaint, which in the script originally sounded like this: “Fuck! Can’t we afford another X-Men? Disney is so stingy. I can barely breathe with all this Mickey Mouse dick in my throat“.
It doesn’t take much thinking to understand why Disney wouldn’t want its most important character involved in this particular situation. Of course, when Reynolds revealed that the company asked him to remove the joke from Deadpool and Wolverine He emphasized that this was a request, not an order. He even admitted that his original idea was hold itbut after a few weeks he changed his mind.
The actor told Collider that a senior Disney executive told him that if he didn’t remove the joke, there wouldn’t be a problem. “If you take it away, I’ll like it. If you don’t, I will still love and support you, this movie and all the hard work that went into it,” he said, the man told him.
How do we know that it was the Mickey Mouse joke that Disney asked to remove? Because Ryan Reynolds I counted which one they replaced it withand when comparing the script with the final scene, there is no doubt. “The wisdom and value of the joke are, of course, debatable, but this is a joke about Pinocchio. Do you know? “It was like Pinocchio was stuck up my ass and he was lying like crazy.”. “It has replaced what was there before and is keeping me up at night,” the Canadian said.
In fact, the Pinocchio joke is the same joke that Wade Wilson makes when he complains about Disney’s stinginess in Deadpool and Wolverine. This confirms that just as cocaine jokes were the only thing Kevin Feige, the head of Marvel Studios, didn’t want in the film (which he didn’t get), Disney wants to keep its star mouse as pristine as possible.
