Deadpool & Wolverine grosses $1.21B, boosts hype with cut scenes

"Deadpool & Wolverine" has been taking over theatres worldwide for a few weeks. Rarely does a production generate so much buzz. The stars further fuel the interest by releasing deleted scenes from the mega-hit.

"Deadpool & Wolverine" is this summer's box office hit. "No one probably doubted why another movie was being made, and the cast list is consistently growing. Setting aside the cynicism – yes, you will probably have a lot of fun and react vividly to the more and less hidden jokes," you could read in our review. The film, starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, grossed $577.2 million in North America and $1.21 billion worldwide, becoming one of Marvel's biggest hits.

Rob Delaney had previously appeared in the Deadpool universe, so he had to feature in the latest installment of the pathological superhero's adventures. Viewers loved his character, Peter, and interesting tidbits about the entire production still pop up online.

This time, scenes that didn't make it into the final cut have been brought to the forefront. Rob Delaney posted a short video on his Instagram profile. It shows a moment when Deadpool and Wolverine appear on Earth-100005 and meet Peter, who proudly shows them his three nipples. You can see the deleted scene below.

The film is packed with surprises for Marvel fans. Several other well-known characters make appearances. Wesley Snipes and Jennifer Garner make brief returns. Even Henry Cavill had his moment, playing one of the alternate versions of Wolverine. There wasn’t enough screen time – as it turns out – for Delaney's scene and Rob McElhenney's.

According to TMZ, although McElhenney shot a scene for the film, the creators couldn't fit it into the final version. The issues with fitting the scene weren't due to errors from the actor's side.

Reynolds explained that cutting McElhenney's scene was difficult, especially since the actor showed considerable dedication by arriving specifically on set in London. Despite the impressive intensity Rob brought to his performance, the writers couldn’t find a suitable spot for his scene in the film. Revealing the fate of Rob's character, Reynolds admitted that the character did not have a heroic end – a giant creature ate him and eventually excreted.

McElhenney humorously approached the situation, sharing a photo with Hugh Jackman on set, joking that his scene must have been cut by mistake. The actor traveled 3,700 miles to film his cameo.
