9 Post-Credits Scenes That Were Axed From Movies

At the end of Deadpool 2, the foul-mouthed title character gains the ability to travel in time, a gift he utilises in order to save his girlfriend from death, as well as stopping Ryan Reynolds from making some bad career decisions.

With a franchise centred around fourth-wall breaking and meta commentary, the filmmakers really could have made these scenes about anything in history, no matter how random, weird, disturbing or hilarious. And... well... those four words could certainly be used together if you were looking to describe this cut scene.

Put simply: Deadpool goes back in time and tries to kill baby Hitler. Yup. Fortunately, we don't see this murder onscreen because Wade gets cold feet and can't go through with it, and instead, he promises to return with Cable, who "loves killing kids".

The scene was ultimately cut because the filmmakers felt that it was too bizarre a note to end the film on, but it was later released for the public to see.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
