8 Shocking Differences Between Leaked Deadpool Screenplay And Movie
6. More Villains
Angel Dust isn't included in the original draft of Deadpool, and surprisingly, there's also no sign of Negasonic Teenage Warhead (when Colossus goes after and later teams up with Wade, he's alone both times). Yet another result of the reduced budget, Angel was actually the replacement for a trio of villains from the comic books; Garrison Kane, Sluggo, and Wyre, all of whom would have worked for Ajax as orderlies of a sort. Kane has "robotic prosthetic legs and a bionic eye", Sluggo is a "superhumanly sized and muscled goon, running 6 '9", 400 pounds easy", and Wyre "magically spools inorganic thread from the tips of his fingers." All three of them play a massive role in the final act, with Deadpool taking out Kane, and Colossus' epic battle with Sluggo being what ends up bringing down the building they're fighting in. Despite all three of them having ties to the comic book version of Deadpool, the movie definitely didn't suffer from their absence. Another surprising addition from the source material is Worm; in the screenplay, he's the mutant who Wade befriends in the hospital, and when he manages to escape and the place is burning down, Wade puts his horribly deformed roommate down after being begged by him to do so. He too was obviously cut along the way.
