Ryan Reynolds, star and producer of Deadpool 2, reveals the movie originally contained a particular joke about film studio Walt Disney Pictures, but 20th Century Fox made him cut it.
This is completely conjecture on my part, but I wouldn’t imagine that Disney bought Fox to dismantle it or something like that.
The first Deadpool film hit theaters in early 2016 after languishing in development hell for about a decade.
As a result, it was no surprise when Fox ordered Deadpool 2, with Reynolds returning as the Merc with the Mouth along with most of the first film’s cast.
