One would expect that , this clock time around , theDeadpool 2filmmakers were reach a blank check , but it appear that ambition are still being dominate in . Co - writer Rhett Rheese , who also work on the first motion picture , weighed in on the potential mutant mayhem that might ’ve been , if only the budget allow it .
“ Mr. X was one , a villain . Black Tom was much expanded in an early draught . I think those were the only two that I think play a striking use . Sluggo had a bigger role . Sluggo ’s in the movie , in the prison house . He was in a bigger persona in the prison in early potation where there was more mayhem . There were version ahead of time on where in the prison house , when Cable bust in , all the mutant arrest flunk and so all of a sudden all the mutants had their abilities and it was just this havoc of every mutant fighting every other sport with every ability possible , but budget - budget kind of brought us back down to ground there and we did it a slight more traditionally . The neckband stayed on , but those are likely the only ace that had a bigger role that that leave out out . ”
Mr. X is a bloodthirsty , death - ghost , psychically - powered mutant ; the tragedy is that theDeadpoolfilm franchise might be one of the only position that could wait on as a sensible home for him . As for Banshee ’s cousinBlack Tom Cassidy , early reporting onDeadpool 2implied the more significant role described in Rheese ’s comment . And then there ’s strongman Sluggo , who joins Wire in the mathematical group of excision or diminished characters , and he ’s relegated to a quick cameo in the sequel .
possibly budget concerns on their own should be turn over an honorary co - director credit in this franchise , as the firstDeadpoolfilm was likewise trace and eventually transformed by financial hesitations . Garrison Kane was originally place to boast in the film , but the elaborate issue required for his bionic arms in every fit prompted his remotion . And the brilliant set piece at the closing , whereDeadpool forget his traveling bag of gunsin the cabriolet and only has to make do with his swords ? A clever script genetic mutation added to boil down the hit man brawl and effects budget on curing .
In the end , we trust the film maker , and the critical answer indicates that these were the right conclusion . Still , the intellection of an all - out radius - shop superpowered brawl in a mutant prison house seems like a tragically missed opportunity , no matter how you ( * ahem * ) slice up it .
