Deadpool 2: 7 Deleted Scenes Ranked From Worst To Best

Oh. They actually went THERE?!

Deadpool 2 releases on Blu-Ray and DVD August 21st, but the film has already released digitally this week! It includes both the theatrical cut, and the Super Duper Cut, which includes a few extra scenes, jokes and gags not included in the original release. Bolted onto that are a whole bunch of extra deleted scenes, with one in particular having proven too controversial for the film's final cut.

It's still the same, zany, silly and ludicrously over-the-top merc' with a mouth we've come to know and love these last few years, and though you'd think that all that extra footage would improve the film, it's only some instances where that is actually the case; other times, you can understand why reigning the jokes in was a better move for the film.

This grants an overwhelmingly mixed impression of the new cut which, while probably a must-view for Deadpool’s hardcore fans, isn’t essential by any stretch of the imagination.

Still, there’s plenty of good mixed in with the… not so memorable. Let’s take a look at what stuck most.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
