Deadpool 2: 12 Rumours That Were Utter Bull
11. Weasel's Death Was Added In Reshoots
The Rumour: Following T.J. Miller's recent legal issues and Ryan Reynolds subsequently claiming he wouldn't be returning for the next movie, rumours abounded that not only would Weasel's role be significantly scaled-back in editing, but his death would be added during the reshoots that took place back in March.
The Truth: Weasel survives the movie, though he has such a minimal presence in the third act it's easy to forget about him completely. It momentarily seemed like Cable (Josh Brolin) was going to kill him before the convoy sequence, but he lives.
If Miller really doesn't return for the third film, fingers crossed we'll get some sort of meta joke about him dying off-screen rather than his absence simply being ignored.
