Santa Claus has a super duper maxi big treat for us this Christmas, with an almost-new Deadpool 2 arriving in theaters on December 21. Ryan Reynolds is back in the red suit, just like Santa, re-shooting 15 minutes of original footage, dubbing creatively subversive, yet clean lines for the “new” film — even adding a brand new character to his pantheon. We’ve got a good idea who this could be, which I’ll get to in a moment.
New Deadpool Footage
According to ComingSoon.net, screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick recently took part in an interview with /Film…and shared what the writers had to say about the upcoming Deadpool 2 PG-13 cut.
“We definitely shot new stuff,” revealed Wernick. “And recently too. After Deadpool 2 came out and we were all sitting around, we came to it less about the idea of let’s make a PG-13 movie and more, ‘Let’s talk a little bit about Deadpool.’ We were kicking around some ideas and then I think it was Ryan [Reynolds] who had the great framing device and we all got excited and went to the studio. They said, ‘Yeah, let’s do it. Fire up the cameras.’

“I think it’s not only going to appeal to kids, but also to people who love Deadpool,” Wernick said. “I think it’s subversive enough and fun and creative and something that only Deadpool could do. So I think it’s going to be a real joy for not only a whole new audience, but also an audience that has seen and loved the Deadpool movies.”
They promise the film’s basic plot remains unchanged, possibly adding a Princess Bride type of storytelling bookend, if this Tweet can be believed:

What? Princess Bride in Deadpool?
Seeing an adult Fred Savage called back in a detailed recreation of his old bedroom from The Princess Bride has fans salivating for more. What could be better than the Man in Black crosspollinating with the Man in Red?
What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
Must have app if you love the movies
If you’re like me and enjoy a 92oz soda as part of the movie experience, you’ll be thankful for this app telling you the best times to go for a quick break. Whether that’s to refill your soda or recycle it.
Possibly an even better feature is the info on if the movie has after credits scenes. There’s nothing worse than sitting there reading about who the key grip was, then finding out that’s all you did. I blame Marvel for the stupid trend.
Seriously, I see a dozen movies a month and use this app every single time. Worth every Penny of the infinity coin thing I bought.
Developers note: the RunPee app is now, and always will be, 100% free. Donations are optional.

This might be seen as a way to make nice with Disney, who recently acquired Marvel Studios, which in turn owns Deadpool. In no universe could we say that Deadpool, with his snarky potty-mouth and sexual…proclivities…would nest easily in the Disney brand. But since Disney isn’t stupid (James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy knee-jerk firing aside), they can’t possibly be thinking of sanitizing the future of their money-making R-rated blockbuster property. However, adding a “clean” and fun sideline of the Merc with the Mouth sounds like a true Christmas treat.
I, for one, will be there with (jingle) bells on, getting brand-new Peetimes for all the good boys and girls of the world. Remember kids, Santa Wade is always watching, and he likes it when you’re naughty. 🙂
