So you don't watch those things and 0:00:14.520 --> 0:00:16.320 you intend to watch them, and you care about being 0:00:16.320 --> 0:00:20.160 spoiled from those things, maybe watch them first then come back. 0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:40.000 Hell my name is Jasononcepcion And on Mesday Night and 0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:43.080 welcome back to X Ray Visions week long coverage of 0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:45.040 all things Deadpool. 0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:46.800 So Wolverine. 0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:49.600 We're dropping episodes every single day leading up to the 0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:55.200 release of Deadpool Wolverine, covering everything from both characters comics origins, 0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:58.200 to the long history of their film adaptations. 0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:03.040 In today's episode, it's another chunky omnibus. We're revisiting the 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:06.120 previous two Deadpool movies, from the decade long fight to 0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:09.679 the Get Deadpool GREENLT to the abandoned plans for a sequel, 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:15.240 and the almost abandoned third movie, Deadpool and Wolverine. 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:17.560 Let's get into it. 0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:22.120 In two thousand and five, Ryan Reynolds met with Perennial. 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:24.480 What a time mark. 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:27.840 He met and he met with Avia rad a perennial 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:31.320 real life character in these types of stories, who we 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:34.440 talk about a lot, the former chairman, CEO and founder 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:37.920 of Marvel Studios, and signed on to take the role 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:40.959 of Deadpool all the way back in two thousand and five. 0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:44.640 Imagine that at the time Marvel was hoping to develop 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:47.559 the movie with Davides Goya. 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:51.880 We've had him on the show, Comic and Commision movie himself. 0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:55.280 He'd worked on the Blade trilogy, Batman Begins, he's now 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:59.040 doing Foundation. You know, he's a very sensible cinematic fellow. 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:01.040 It's a good choice to go with. The rights to 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:03.080 put on the big screen at that time were owned 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.280 by New Line Cinema, who we know for all the 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:09.160 fantastic horror movies and cool stuff like that, but they 0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:11.520 never moved forwards with it, and eventually they sold the 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:14.800 rights to twentieth Century Fox in two thousand and five, 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:18.280 who had purchased the film rights to The X Men 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:20.960 in nineteen ninety three and Fantastic Four in nineteen ninety eight. 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:22.240 If you remember, that. 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:25.280 Was when Marvel was essentially insolvent going through bankruptcy, so 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:26.800 they sold off a lot of their rights for a 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:29.040 very little amount of money, and we are still living 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:30.640 with the ramifications of that now. 0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:33.239 Once twentieth Century Fox became involved. 0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:36.960 The movie ended up hitting even more delays and eventually 0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:39.240 ended up languishing in development. 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:42.240 Hell enter X. 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:47.600 Men Origins Wolverine. Four years later, Reynolds joins the cast 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:52.919 of X Men Origins Wolverine as a version the introduction 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:57.959 of Wade Wilson the murc with a Mouth question mark. 0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:01.880 We'll get into that. There are rumors that Reynolds felt 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:06.519 pressure to take the role here or else risk losing 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:09.520 a character he really passionately wanted to play to some 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:13.280 other actor. The opening of the movie does feature a 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:17.400 wise cracking Wade Wilson talking about how much he loves 0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:21.800 his katanas. He's trash talking all his fellow mercenaries in 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:26.520 the film, which I believe is the screenwriting debut of 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:35.040 David Bennioff of Game of Thrones fame. Since this took 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:38.160 place during the rite strike, much of Wade's dialogue was 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:40.120 just Reynolds improving. 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:45.440 The movie obviously shapes his kind of career with Deadpool 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:49.000 because he has been that voice since then totally. 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:51.920 Now I mentioned the Mark with a Mouth, which is 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:58.560 Deadpool's nickname. Once Wade acquires his healing factor powers in 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:02.760 this film, he has his mouth. I don't know if 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:06.560 you would call it sown shut or really the skinny. 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:10.160 Stapled or something like that sealed up. 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:14.520 So he never gets to wisecrack at all, and he 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:18.920 doesn't wear his costume, even though he does become ostensibly 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:22.159 the final boss villain of this of this film. The 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:24.320 post credits scene of the movie led some to believe 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:26.680 that his inclusion was meant to lead to a spinoff. 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:30.640 Does seem like that? Yeah, that never materialized. Meanwhile, Fox 0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:33.920 continued to hold a deadpool in development limbo, and that 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:38.560 limbo became even more goopy and hard to escape after 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:44.720 Reynolds's turn as Hal Jordan in twenty eleven's Green Lantern 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:50.200 hit the sidewalk with a terrible and juicy. 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:54.880 Thud, super juicy thud. And also, let's be real, we're already. 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:56.920 In twenty and eleven here, so we're talking six years 0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:59.680 off the Reynolds first had his beginning with old Avier Rod, 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:03.400 so uh yeah, time to make some fucking chimmy changas. 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:04.919 Let's talk about actual development. 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:09.280 After X Men Wolverine's successful opening, nobody talks about that. 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:15.599 Is that people love people. People love over read the 0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:16.880 movie was bad, but people love. 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:19.640 Over read plans for a Deadpol solo Let me. 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:20.000 Just say one. 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:22.520 I want to say one thing about X Men Origins Wolverine. 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:24.440 I was super broke at the time that movie came out. 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:26.880 I really wanted to see the movie, but I had 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:30.599 no money, and so I did download a pirated cam 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:33.400 of the movie, which is how I saw X Men 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:38.640 Origins Wolverine. That's how I saw that movie for a 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:42.599 illegally Turkish cam or something like that. 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:47.040 Probably how David Benioff exactly how he wants to watch it. Definitely, 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:52.120 So after the success of that movie, financial not critical, 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:54.440 I will say plans for though I will say I 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:55.920 watched that movie at least once a year. 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:57.599 It's very entertaining. Plans for a. 0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:02.320 Deadpool solo movie were revisited in January twenty ten. Rhtt 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:05.360 Reese and Paul Wernick, who had worked on Zombie Land, 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:09.920 Very Good and gij Retaliation, were hired to work on 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:13.040 a spin off that would feature more comics accurate version 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:16.320 of the character. A version of the Ari script was leaked. 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:17.280 That is true. 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:19.040 It was a big deal, which the fan loves, and 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:22.120 the studios then brought on director Tim Miller in twenty eleven, 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:28.640 who had created some test footage with Reynolds. The studio 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:31.200 was unimpressed with it, and after the success of Avengers, 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:34.919 began exploring other options for dead Pool, including appearing in 0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:39.200 ensemble movies. But then, lo and behold, three years later, 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:42.240 in one of the most auspicious leaks of all time, 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:43.760 we still want speaked it. 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:44.960 Who could have done this? 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:47.640 Who could have done this? Says a man in a 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:50.840 hot dog costume. The CGI clip was less than two 0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:54.080 minutes long, but featured what eventually became the opening of 0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:56.719 the twenty sixteen movie, including many of the same jokes 0:06:56.720 --> 0:07:00.400 and musical cues, and it was essentially like a very 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:04.880 cool fight scene inside a car. He's chopping people's heads off, 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:07.000 he's being quippy. 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:08.080 You know. It's very Deadpool. 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:10.800 While the studio had initially been hesitant on the project, 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:14.680 the leaked footage received incredibly positive reaction, which Reynolds feels 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:17.679 is exclusively the reason that the movie got made. Fox 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:19.760 finally gives the go ahead for Deadpool movie to be 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:25.280 released in twenty sixteen, and years ago the studio had 0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:30.000 very silly of them pushed for a PG thirteen version 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:30.560 of the character. 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:36.640 Since I get why our movies, particularly our movies that 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:41.160 are genre movies, they don't usually make money. It's very 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:42.840 uncommon for them for that to happen. 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:45.840 The Joker was the first rated movie to make a 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:48.640 billion dollars, you know, which in a superhero age you 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:50.760 would think was not the case. 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:54.080 PG thirteen. Also, you can get away with a fair amount. 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:56.840 Yeah, in PG thirteen. We've seen some pretty scary PG 0:07:56.920 --> 0:08:00.080 thirteen movies. But after the test footage, which was very 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:03.520 distinctly not PG thirteen twentieth Century Fox, that allowed the 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:06.760 creative team more leniency, partly thanks to having a much 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:11.800 smaller budget. Reynolds described the movie's fifty eight million dollar 0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:16.360 budget as the cocaine budget for most superhero movies. 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:19.160 That's a lot of cocaine, right. 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:23.720 I mean sixty sub sixty million dollars, even in what 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:29.840 was this twenty twenty, twenty ten, twenty tens. That's really 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:30.800 not a lot of money. 0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:33.080 No, it's not a lot of money at all. 0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:36.559 And he said the creative team felt less pressure from 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:39.640 the studio make the movie at the price the way 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:42.640 you want to make it. And as you know, the 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:44.760 cocaine budget for X ray vision. 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:46.079 Is extremely high. 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:49.160 It's so big, Me and Jason are always doing those 0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:52.720 drugs and stuff, so you better listen to these ads 0:08:52.760 --> 0:09:00.240 so we can afford the illegal substances. 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:14.920 And we're back from doing cocaine now. The smaller budget 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:20.760 naturally forced changes. Early drafts of the script featured Garrison 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:24.200 Kane aka Kane however you know his cybernetic arms and 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:27.400 don't we love a cybernetic arm? As a dead Pool 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:30.320 mentions in Deadpool too, don't we love a bionic arm? 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:34.680 That was too much for the CGI budget. Ajax was 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:38.160 originally meant to be working for doctor Emerus Kilbrew and 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:40.880 however they just basically had to simplify the story and 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:45.240 start reaching kind of deeper into the character bin for 0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:51.120 cheaper to produce characters. There was pressure to include Cable 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:54.440 in the movie, seeing as Deadpool has you know, has 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:57.160 a long and storied association with Cable, but ultimately the 0:09:57.160 --> 0:10:00.079 writers felt it was better to let Deadpool stand on 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:04.719 his own two scarred, gnarled feet and push Cable to 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:08.720 a later sequel. The movie opened Friday February twelve, Bound 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:12.080 Times Day Weekend twenty sixteen and was a massive, like 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:16.240 you can't overstate it massive massive success. More on this 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:19.800 in our quick hitting segment at the end of the episode. 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:22.640 But it was a huge success, going on to earn 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:26.680 some seven hundred and eighty two million dollars and change 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:30.439 at the box office, massive return for an rated film. 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:33.680 Post credit scene featured Deadpool doing his best first Bueller 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:36.920 impression and teasing the audience that he'd be back and 0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:40.360 that the next movie would feature that's right, son of 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:44.559 Cyclops himself and Gene Cable Cable, our good friend Cable. 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:49.520 Two months after the release of Deadpool, it was confirmed 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:51.960 that the writer's recent Paul Wernick, director Tim Miller, and 0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:55.600 star Ryan Reynolds would return for the sequel Listen you Get, 0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:58.360 You get a crew that creates a hit movie, just 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:01.160 run it back. Reynolds signed a new contract giving him 0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:04.920 more creative control, including a say in casting. In October 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:08.080 of twenty sixteen, director Tim Miller left the film amid 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:11.760 creative differences with Ryan Reynolds. Miller wanted to push for 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:14.640 the sequel to be more stylized, while Reynolds was more 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:17.480 focused on the R rated humor. I think we could 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:21.280 say that Reynolds, at this point, after over ten years 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:25.240 of development, road in his relationship with Deadpool. I think 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:27.480 he understands the tone of that character and how to 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:29.200 translate that to the feature. 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:31.680 Film, and he succeeded. 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:34.560 Additionally, Miller was supposed toly wanted Kyle Chandler from Friday 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:38.720 Lights to play Cable, but Reynolds did not good casting. 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:42.920 I'm sorry, I'm interested, but a big enough star. 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:46.280 Name agreed in staid, we get a grimacing Josh Brolin 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:48.920 who's already fanos in the FCA. 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:51.880 He's just gone wild. But who cas But who cares? 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:55.040 And also at this time we're talking about two different companies, 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:59.080 Fox and Marvel Studios. In the aftermath, Tim Miller shared 0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:02.200 his ideas for The Sea, featuring a progression of Vanessa 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:06.800 storyline where she becomes the iconic, well the iconic in 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:10.800 terms of Dead Cole comic character Copycat, also Wade's girlfriend 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:13.480 in the comics. It also featured a fight between Juggernaut 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:17.600 and the Thing whoa the Thing in the film's third act. 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:20.640 A month after Miller left, director David Leach signed on 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:24.199 to direct the sequel. Reynolds, Rhyes Wernick split the scenes 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:27.040 into three parts, and each one wrote one part before 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:29.600 passing the round to the others. There was a strong 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:32.800 desire to include X Force in this and that influenced 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:33.560 the film's theme. 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:34.800 Yeah. 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:37.560 By twenty seventeen, the film was still looking to cast 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:41.800 Deadpool's two major allies, Michael Shannon, David Harbor, Pierce brasn 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:46.439 and all were believed to be in consideration. Eventually was 0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:49.439 announced that Zazi Beats was cast as Domino. This is 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:52.160 in twenty seventeen, and following a month, it was announced 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:56.720 that Josh Brolin had beat out the previously aforementioned middle 0:12:56.760 --> 0:13:00.160 aged actors for the role as Cable, and it was 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:02.520 rumored that Fox hoped to use the introduction of Cable 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:05.680 and Domino to spin off an X Force movie. However, 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:08.000 this has never materialized. 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:13.840 Interesting Okay, so the filming was not without controversy. The 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:17.640 second movie began shooting in June twenty seventeen in Canada 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:23.160 under the working title Love Machine. On August fourteenth, so 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:27.400 soon after they began shooting, stunt woman Joy Harris died 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:30.360 in a motorcycle accident performing a stunt for the movie. 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:33.000 Joy had never done stunt work before and was not 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:35.760 wearing a helmet because she had joined production only a 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:38.000 week before and they had not had time to fit 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:40.920 a helmet under the Domino wig for the scene. Many 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:43.840 criticized the production for using Harris instead of a veteran 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:47.600 stunt performer, arguing her racing experience did not qualify her 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:50.800 as an able performer for the stunt. Productions shut down 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:53.839 for two days immediately after the incident, and reports came 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:57.079 out that the film's crew were exhausted and working incredibly 0:13:57.120 --> 0:14:00.000 long days, with reports that some days had increased filming 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:02.000 to over fifteen hours a day. 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:04.360 So this is obviously terrible, and I think it's made 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:07.520 even more complicated by the fact that there was a 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:13.280 veteran stunt performer who had done these kinds of stunts, 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:16.160 ready and willing to do it. But part of the 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:19.640 reasoning for going with Joy was sazy beats is black. 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:26.040 The stunt performer, it's black, and unfortunately it has resulted 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:30.240 in this person passing. The stunt community was really critical 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:35.360 of this. The fifteen hour days thing is like, that's 0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:36.000 every movie. 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:36.680 They do feel it. 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:38.560 Is, Well, that's what I was going to say. 0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:41.240 That I think is really interesting is around the same 0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:45.640 time as this, there was like a crash when people 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:49.160 were being taken home from the set of Riverdale or something, 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:52.800 and I think one of the drivers ended up being injured. 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:55.600 And I think that these long hours and this kind 0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:58.640 of exhaustion and people not sleeping properly, and they're not 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:00.640 being safe ways for people to get to and from 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:04.040 set or be on set. This is an ongoing problem 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:07.800 in big budget movies, in indie movies, as we saw 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:10.360 with the Russ shooting with you know that Alec Baldwin 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:13.320 was recently the trial was dismissed about, but like that 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:16.800 was another example of it. Sadly, this is not an 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:20.720 industry that always values the people who are part of 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:22.040 making the movies possible. 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:26.200 Yeah, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, even fifteen hour days, it's not 0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:27.880 uncommon in TV and movies. 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:30.040 That's pretty much part of the course. 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:32.360 It's not a judgment, that's just what it is. 0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:37.720 Yeah, that wasn't the only controversy that beset the movie either. 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:43.160 In late twenty seventeen, sexual misconduct allegations against TJ. Miller surface, 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:44.800 and you might be like, well, what's he got to 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:46.920 do with it? He was actually in the first movie 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:50.800 as his like Deadpool's like annoying friend. He's in Ish 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:52.920 the second one, he's in ish the second one, the 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:58.400 allegations were particularly horrendous, and some began calling for his 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:01.800 removal from the film. In April of twenty eighteen, Miller 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:04.880 was arrested for calling in a fake bomb threat on. 0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:05.960 An Amtrak train. 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:11.640 You know, we do it starts getting easier, like okay, 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:14.440 my guy. Witnesses on the train claimed he was heavily 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:16.880 intoxicated and had heated exchanges with a woman in the 0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:19.280 first class car with him. He was then removed from 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:22.080 the train for being inebriated, but he was not removed 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:24.400 from the film, at least not fully. I can imagine 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:27.160 that there was a cut with more. Yeah, so it 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:31.400 was not an easy shoot, and reshoots are very expensive. 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:34.640 So listen to these ad breaks so that we can 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:36.560 cut around the stuff that's not supposed to be in 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:37.400 the poplar. 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:52.760 And we're back. 0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:57.360 Deadpool two was released May eighteen, twenty eighteen, and would 0:16:57.360 --> 0:16:59.840 go on to grow some worldwide total of seven hundred 0:16:59.840 --> 0:17:03.640 eight five point eight so just under seven and eighty 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:07.200 six Newllion dollars on a budget of one hundred and 0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:10.440 ten million, not quite the ratio of the first movie, 0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:15.560 but still, like inclu imreredibly impressive. Fandago and Regal Cinemas 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:17.679 revealed that the movie had the most pre sale tickets 0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:20.920 they had ever had ever for an R rated film 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:24.720 ever in history. Ever, it also set the record for 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:27.560 the widest rated release ever. Fox hinted at a new 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:31.200 Deadpool movie, which wound up being titled Once Upon a Deadpool. 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:33.600 The movie was announced as a PG thirteen version of 0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:36.560 Deadpool two and would be released in theaters from Decever 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:37.680 twelfth and twenty fourth. 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:39.159 Reynolds only agreed to support. 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:40.840 A PG thirteen version of the movie if portion of 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:44.879 the profits were donated to charity, specifically a cancer charity. 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:48.440 Here's the thing about R rated movies and why studios 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:51.399 don't necessarily like them, is because it's not because the 0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:53.800 kids can't go. The kids end up going. What they 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:55.560 do is they buy a ticket to a PG thirteen 0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:58.160 movie and then they sneak today go and some other 0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:01.520 movie ends up getting that money, and so the release 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:04.120 of a PG thirteen version is really just a way 0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:08.720 for them to seize back the profits which were going 0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:12.600 into whatever other PG or PG thirteen movie was in 0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:14.040 the theaters at that time. 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:16.720 I will say I do think they came up with 0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:19.920 a fun idea, which is they did like a Princess 0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:22.760 Bride esque reimagining of the movie. 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:25.360 But yes, so the dollar of every. 0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:28.520 Ticket sale went to the cancer charity campaign rebranded as 0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:30.240 Fudge Cancer in the movie. 0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:31.000 Very funny of you. 0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:36.800 So development began on a third Deadpool movie, an actual 0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:40.960 separate Deadpool movie, not just a recut PG thirteen version, as. 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:42.480 Well as a separate X Force project. 0:18:43.080 --> 0:18:46.440 However, after twenty first Century Fox was purchased by Disney 0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:49.679 in twenty nineteen, a large part of which may or 0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:51.760 may not have been to get back those Fantastic Four 0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:55.800 rights that they had sold to Fox many many years ago, 0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:58.680 all development on future X Men movies was put on hold, 0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:02.920 including Deapol three and Force. Reynolds met with Kevin Faiy 0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:07.440 to discuss integrating Depport into the Marvel Cinematic universe, where 0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:10.240 he was apparently told he could not use Wolverine. 0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:11.200 Very interesting. 0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:14.280 After working with director Sean Levy on Free Guy and 0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:16.720 the Adam Project, Levy was hired to direct the next 0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:19.359 Stepple movie. Also I'd just say Free Guy very fun 0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:23.000 movie movie. It has lots of Marvel Easter eggs thanks 0:19:23.000 --> 0:19:25.000 to the fact that it was a twentieth century movie 0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:26.720 that got moved to Disney, So if you like this 0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:30.080 kind of stuff, you'll probably enjoy it. Levy, Reynolds, Reese, Wernick, 0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:33.560 and zeb Wells oh Hi zeb Wells worked on a 0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:36.040 number of script ideas but began to hit a block. 0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:38.040 Marvel and the writers all struggled to find that a 0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:42.119 story idea that worked, and Levy and Reynolds considered telling 0:19:42.160 --> 0:19:45.439 Figy they thought the project should not continue at the 0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:49.280 time dunt dund dund. But in August twenty twenty two, 0:19:49.520 --> 0:19:51.800 Ryan Reynolds was preparing to meet with Figy to discuss 0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:55.160 their pole's future when Hugh Jackman reached out to him 0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:58.080 and expressed a desire to reprise his role as Wolverine 0:19:58.200 --> 0:20:02.840 in the film. Allegedly, he said, I'll probably have more 0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:06.439 fun on that movie than anything I've ever done. Figi 0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:09.159 initially advised Jackman not to return, as he felt the 0:20:09.240 --> 0:20:12.679 characters arc ended so well in Logan True. However, he 0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:15.800 was convinced when it was suggested that Jackman would portray 0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:19.680 a new version of Wolverine, tying into the Marvel multiversal 0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:24.480 storytelling arc. Logan director James Mangold expressed his enthusiasm about 0:20:24.520 --> 0:20:27.359 the story idea, and pre production began less than two 0:20:27.359 --> 0:20:30.800 months after Hugh Jackman joined the project. Fans are especially 0:20:30.840 --> 0:20:34.760 excited about the introduction of a more comically accurate costumes 0:20:34.760 --> 0:20:37.920 for both main characters, with a brighter red and large 0:20:37.960 --> 0:20:40.800 black eye circles for Deadpool and the classic yellow and 0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:43.240 blue suit for Wolverine, which we had all been waiting for. 0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:50.280 Deadpool. Wolverine opens July twenty sixth. Jason, do you have 0:20:50.800 --> 0:20:52.640 some Deadpool facts for us? 0:20:53.280 --> 0:20:56.520 Let's go to the Deadpool Facts. We like to end 0:20:56.560 --> 0:20:59.440 every show with a series of quick hitting segments. In 0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:03.920 today's quick silver the fastest Deadpool fact race known to 0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:06.560 the human race, and here it is Deadpool Facts, Deadpool 0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:10.760 Fact number one. Deadpool was Tim Miller's directorial debut. Miller 0:21:10.760 --> 0:21:14.040 co founded Blur Studios in nineteen ninety three of VFX Company. 0:21:14.440 --> 0:21:15.320 For landing Deadpool. 0:21:15.359 --> 0:21:18.639 Miller worked on the title sequences through Blur to David 0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:21.800 Fincher's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Alan Taylor's 0:21:23.080 --> 0:21:27.639 Magnum Opus for the Dark World. You should say that's 0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:31.560 why Tim Miller and Ryan Reynolds were able to create 0:21:31.640 --> 0:21:36.000 this really wonderful stunt sequence with Reynolds. Because this was 0:21:36.080 --> 0:21:38.960 Miller's background in VFX. I wonder who could have leaked 0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:39.600 the footage. 0:21:39.840 --> 0:21:40.480 Deadpool. 0:21:40.840 --> 0:21:45.679 As noted, the first movie massive financial success, earning over 0:21:45.680 --> 0:21:47.520 seven hundred and three million on a budget of less 0:21:47.520 --> 0:21:51.679 than sixty. Deadpool jokes in the first Deadpool film that 0:21:51.720 --> 0:21:53.960 the X characters who appear in the film Classus and 0:21:54.040 --> 0:21:56.080 the super super weird. 0:21:55.760 --> 0:21:59.359 And rarely rarely appearing. 0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:07.000 Teenage Warhead lie after one page and the but I 0:22:07.080 --> 0:22:10.639 loved this version that they created in the still one 0:22:10.640 --> 0:22:11.760 of my favorite. 0:22:11.520 --> 0:22:13.080 Marvel movie characters of all time. 0:22:13.119 --> 0:22:15.600 So thank you, right, so yeah, Deadpool jokes that this 0:22:15.680 --> 0:22:19.679 was all that they could afford. Deadpool the original movie 0:22:19.840 --> 0:22:22.679 was the highest grossing R rated film ever. 0:22:22.520 --> 0:22:24.560 For a little while. For a little while. 0:22:25.280 --> 0:22:29.160 It is currently the fourth highest grossing rated film behind 0:22:29.440 --> 0:22:34.680 One the Joker number one, number two, op Oppenheimer number. 0:22:34.480 --> 0:22:37.680 Three, Deadpool number two. 0:22:38.200 --> 0:22:41.199
