10 Deleted Sci-Fi Movie Scenes You Need To See

10. Deadpool - Wade Goes Too Far

Ryan Reynolds finally got the starring role to fulfil the cheeky, charming promise he showed as early as 2002’s Van Wilder when his long-awaited passion project, the R-rated comic book adaptation of Deadpool, made it to the big screen in 2016.

The flick allowed Reynolds to flex his funny bone whilst snapping those of countless henchmen, mixing gory action with foul-mouthed comedy and some fun meta touches which freshened up the potentially tired superhero origin story formula.

However Deadpool almost included a scene dark enough for the director to worry it would derail the entire project in the form of Wade killing a man scamming cancer patients whilst he searched for a cure to his disease—in front of his love interest.

The act shocked her, with the whole resulting scene seeing her trying to come to terms with the fact that the man she loved was a cold-blooded killer, and all of it fit about as well as it sounds like it would in a movie that sees its hero murder scores of nameless henchmen to the tune of Juice Newton’s Angel of the Morning.

Luckily the scene was scrapped and Deadpool’s light-but-gory escapist tone escaped to multiplexes untouched by misguided attempts at sombre asides.
