Deadpool 2: 7 Deleted Scenes Ranked From Worst To Best
2. Deadpool Kills Baby Hitler
Fox
One of the more... bizarre stories to emerge in the wake of Deadpool 2's premiere revolved around the post-credits sequence's time-travel set-up. It transpired that there was actually a scene where Wade used the time-travel device to travel all the way back to the late nineteenth century and into an Austrian hospital, where he'd kill the baby version of Adolf Hitler.
The scene, in all its glory, is available to watch on the home release. And though it is certainly dark, the resolution subverts everyone's expectations by having Deadpool go to kill the child, only to change his nappy and vow that Cable will return to do what he somehow couldn't.
Again, it's understandable as to why the filmmakers opted to leave this sequence after the theatrical release, but it only adds to an already hysterical post-credits premise.
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.
