Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds has finally addressed the highly anticipated cameo of Rob McElhenney as Wolverine in the upcoming film. In an interview, Reynolds revealed that the scene was cut due to the film’s pacing issues.

The Scene’s Purpose

The scrapped scene was intended to introduce McElhenney as a version of Wolverine from another universe. Reynolds explained that the scene was meant to be a humorous nod to the comic book series’ vast multiverse, but it ultimately didn’t fit into the film’s narrative.

Why It Was Cut

Reynolds stated that the decision to remove the scene was not an easy one, but it was necessary to maintain the film’s pacing. He explained, ‘We were trying to keep the movie at a certain length, and we were trying to keep the pacing of the movie really tight. It was just one of those things where we were like, ‘Let’s not do this.”

A Possible Future for McElhenney’s Wolverine

Although the scene was cut from the film, Reynolds hasn’t ruled out the possibility of McElhenney reprising his role as Wolverine in future projects. He mentioned, ‘I think it’s something that we could revisit. I think it’s something that could be really interesting, and I think it could be really funny.’ This leaves fans hopeful for a potential return of McElhenney’s Wolverine in the future.

Conclusion

While the news of the cut scene may come as a disappointment to some fans, Reynolds’ explanation provides insight into the challenges of filmmaking. With the possibility of revisiting McElhenney’s Wolverine in the future, fans can look forward to more exciting developments in the Deadpool franchise.
