9 Movie Truths Actors Won't Reveal

9. Which Joke Did Fox Make Ryan Reynolds Cut From Deadpool 2?

While promoting Deadpool 2, Ryan Reynolds told Entertainment Weekly that there was one joke so wild in the original cut of the movie that Fox - which was in the middle of being acquired by Disney at the time - forced Reynolds to remove it.

Sadly Reynolds stopped short of revealing the content of the joke, which of course only made fans all the more curious about it.

From reading between the lines of what Reynolds said about the offensive gag, he seemed to imply that it was either Disney-related or broached subject matter that would ruffle feathers during the aforementioned merger.

Reynolds nevertheless praised Disney for being mostly hands-off with Deadpool 2's production, and ultimately opined that cutting the joke in question was probably a "wise decision."

With sequel Deadpool and Wolverine clearly showing Disney's willingness to let Deadpool be Deadpool, though, it's a shame that Reynolds still hasn't broken his silence on the matter.
