Meanwhile, speaking of Cage and Affleck, Reynolds revealed, "They were in early drafts.” He further added, "We had versions of that [sequence], but then as it shook out, you're sort of looking... We're trying to make the movie responsibly, as well. It's a big budget. It's the biggest budget of any of the Deadpool movies, but you want to give yourself as much constraint, which really I think facilitates asymmetrical thinking and creativity.”
