Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman appeared on the Hot Ones show, where Reynolds revealed that Deadpool & Wolverine was initially supposed to be shot under the guise of a fake movie. The idea was that fans would then see the Marvel logo, leading to a big surprise. However, the makers of the film declined the idea due to Marvel Studios' tentpole status.
While the buzz around the movie, amidst its release on Friday, had been revolving around potential cameos and the suspicious role of Lady Deadpool, Reynolds brought in a bigger reveal. He mentioned that he had even gotten one of the posters ready for the fake film, which depicted two men sharing one brain. If the original plan for the movie had been implemented, it would have been a great prank to pull on the audience.

On the show, Reynolds shared, “It was meant to be kind of horrible.” He further added, “Like 10 people in America would go to see this movie on opening weekend and five minutes into the movie, the Marvel logo would flip up and it would actually be ‘Deadpool & Wolverine.’ The problem is that if you managed to get down to the last minute and it got blown, it would just be heartbreaking.”
