15. Deadpool Originally Had An Amy Winehouse Joke
Various iterations of the Deadpool script have been doing the rounds for years, and one original gag that eventually got cut saw Deadpool and Weasel talking in their bar about Wade's bet on the life of singer Amy Winehouse.
The film then reportedly ended with Winehouse getting splattered by a bus, and Deadpool quipping to the camera, "And you would have thought it would be an overdose."
