Controversial Joke Cut from Deadpool Script

News summary

In the wake of Disney's acquisition of Fox, concerns arose about the tone of the Deadpool franchise, but Ryan Reynolds confirmed that only one joke was deemed too inappropriate by Disney. The controversial line, which was ultimately kept in the script, involved Deadpool commenting on Disney's budgetary constraints while referencing Mickey Mouse in a vulgar manner. Despite Disney's request for a change, Reynolds replaced the line with another audacious joke about Pinocchio, which also pushed boundaries. Directed by Shawn Levy, 'Deadpool & Wolverine' has become one of Marvel's biggest hits, grossing over $1.3 billion globally, and is now available for streaming on Disney+. The film maintains its signature raunchy humor, with Reynolds' performance remaining a highlight alongside a plethora of cameos and memorable quotes. Overall, Disney's handling of the franchise appears to satisfy both the company and its fans, despite the minor censorship.
