While the creative team is behind Deadpool and Wolverine Marvel and Disney allowed a lot of creative freedom with their jokes, there were some things that were off-limits, and one of the gross Deadpool jokes written into the film’s script involved Mickey Mouse, and they were asked to cut it.
When you read the line, which was included in the script of the film that was recently released to critics for consideration in the screenwriting categories, it’s not hard to see why Disney wanted it cut.
In the theatrical version of the film, when Deadpool meets Blade, Elektra, and Gambit, he is told that there is a fourth member, who Wade sincerely hopes is Magneto.
Blade tells Deadpool that Magneto is dead, and this makes Deadpool angry that Disney didn’t make a bigger budget available to afford A-list actors like Ian McKellen OR Michael Fassbender.
Wade goes on to compare the situation to “Pinocchio stuck his nose up my ass and started lying like crazy.”
But in the original script of the film. Deadpool instead says: “F*CK! What can’t we even afford another X-Man? Disney is so cheap. I can barely breathe with all this Mickey Mouse shit down my throat.”
You can see a screenshot of the script page below. But now that you know what the joke was, you understand why it was ultimately cut from the film.
It’s funny that this line was released because director Shawn Levy he once said he would take it with him to the grave. He said:
“The general rule is to never punch and only make fun of people who can stand it. Definitely, when it came to Hugh in a meta way, Hugh was always the first to laugh out loud.
“There was only one line in the entire film that we were asked to change. We made a pact, Ryan and I, to go to the grave with that line, but I will say that it was replaced with an equally dirty line of dialogue about Pinocchio sticking his face in Deadpool’s ass and starting lying like crazy.
“I told him, ‘Ryan, this is your replacement line in response to, ‘Can we clean this up?’ That’s Ryan Reynolds for you, bold to the limit.”
Well, now they don’t have to go to their grave with that sentence.
