Just when everybody thought the MCU was done,Deadpool & Wolverineshut the haters in the best possible way. With its R-rated gore and terrific cameos, the 2024 multiversal adventure raised a storm at the box office. However, the records are not the only thing that are shattered by the film, it also shattered the MCU with a harsh roast in the latest-released deleted scene.
One of the primary reasons behindDeadpool & Wolverine‘s success was its meta jokes. The film continued the quirky trend ofDeadpoolfilms to go full meta and induce several self-referential jokes and several real-life events in the screenplay. But the recently released deleted footage hinted that the Ryan Reynolds film was supposed to go more merciless on the MCU.
Deadpool & Wolverinealmost roasted the MCU in the worst way
FollowingAvengers: Endgameand beforeDeadpool & Wolverine, the MCU faced several hurdles while executing their Multiverse Saga. Despite occasional surprises likeSpider-Man: No Way HomeandLoki, they failed to make the latest saga as popular as the Infinity Saga.

As the Shawn Levy movie has put out its firstdeleted scene, it is revealed that more brutal self-referential jokes were planned for the threequel. The deleted scene calledElevator Ridewas supposed to take place just afterRyan Reynolds‘ mutant woke up at the TVA. In the scene, as Paradox explains the multiverse to Wade, he sarcastically refers toDoctor Strange: In the Multiverse of MadnessandAnt-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
Paradox: Mr Wilson, this may come as a shock to a narcissistic, blathering bag of meat like yourself, but your universe is not the only one in existence
Deadpool: Oh please. You think I haven’t seen Doctor Ant and the Quantumverse of Madness?

The removal of the brutal dig from the final cut suggests that Marvel Studios must have been strict in a few places. BothDoctor Strange 2andAnt-Man 3referred to by Wade tried to establish the multiversal aspect strongly before the fans but generated a divided response. The reactions were extremely mixed andAnt-Man and the Wasp: Quantumaniaalso became one of the lowest-grossing and lowest-rated MCU films.

Seemingly, the MCU might have not wanted the Ryan Reynolds starrer to go so harsh on the studio’s past decisions. Although theDeadpoolthreequel is also far from a perfect multiverse adventure, it successfully delivers the promised mass experience with its action, cameos, and definitelyBye Bye Bye.
The fans have varied reactions to the deleted footage
As soon as the deleted scene went viral among the netizens, the internet had some varied reactions to it. Given that humor is subjective, many fans suggested that the scene was not as funny. Some fans also felt that roasting theDoctor Strangesequel and theAnt-Manthreequel would have affected the impact of the Multiverse Saga adversely.

Additionally, it is also concluded that the scene is not kept as it also mocks the toxic MCU fandom in a way. Nevertheless, a section also supported the joke and asserted that they should not have removed the joke. Here are some of the reactions:
I see why this was deleted, because it’s like poking fun at the movies that flopped in the MCU, but at the same time quote the Toxic Fans by how they act
After watching who all realized the reason for deleting this scene??😀
Lmao that’s really good, but I get why they cut it they don’t want to dog on their own projects😭😭
DP straight up roasting Multiverse Of Madness and Quantumania, which were an all-time low for Disney Marvel last year that gave Marvel fans an unpleasant taste in their mouths!
Cutting this was unquestionably for the best.For one, the movie as it is does enough shitting on the Multiverse as a concept and Marvel’s handling of it. Any more and it starts to undermine its own premise.For two, the less we refer to “The Sacred Timeline” the better.https://t.co/M1AvUVKtCl
At the end of the day, it is debatable if the scene would have looked better in the final cut or if so much self-hate would have sabotaged the saga. But very soon, we will also get to see many more additional content from the film asDeadpool & Wolverineis all set to arrive on Digital and DVD on October 1 and October 22 of this year.
