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?

Got this back when I was pregnant, but I’ll be keeping it forever, it’s just so handy. I don’t go to the movie theater that often (even back before quarantine when you actually could…) but I make sure the app and the movie list are all current and updated, cause it’s so handy! It’s great for running late cause you can read their summary, obviously awesome for bathroom or snack breaks mid movie, and I also love that it tells you if there’s anything after the credits which is very handy.

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. 🙂
