Deadpool 2: 7 Deleted Scenes Ranked From Worst To Best
3. Dopinder Gets A Pep Talk
Fox
Karan Soni's Dopinder was a highlight of both Deadpool 1 and its follow-up, so it's unsurprising that any extra scenes featuring the taxi driver were always going to be a highlight.
This sequence comes just after the opening, where Deadpool has just laid waste to the warehouse full of thugs and is being chased out of the building. They escape as usual, but as Dopinder begins to proclaim his desire to be a contract killer, the conversation takes a further turn. 'Pool encourages his interest, giving a pep talk before disembarking the taxi and reeling off a list of excuses as to why he's late to Vanessa.
There's some more time devoted to the Merc' with a Mouth's protests in the scene, but it's the extra screen-time dedicated to Soni's character that's the highlight.
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.
