My guess is that all of the kids who weren’t allowed to see the film earlier in the year might be able to convince Mom and Dad to take them to the multiplex for a sanitized (albeit still relatively edgy) version of the film. You see, Once Upon a Deadpool is just a PG-13 rerelease of Deadpool 2. The problem is, what can Fox cram into their now empty December slot? Easy: tap an old cash cow, and create a new audience for it.
With Alita moving to February, this also bumps the latest X-Men flick, Dark Phoenix to a summer release. In a post-credits sequence, “Once Upon a Deadpool” adds a touching tribute to Lee who also appeared in the 2017 Deadpool short “No Good Deed.A little background: Fox recently bumped its big end of year release, Alita: Battle Angel, to February as a dual effort to coincide with the Lunar New Year (yay, China box office!) and to avoid butting heads with other big winter releases, namely Aquaman, Bumblebee, Mary Poppins Returns, and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Marvel Comics legend Stan Lee, who died last month, was known for making cameos in many of the modern superhero movies, including in 2016’s “Deadpool.” “Deadpool 2,” however, was the rare film in which Lee did not physically make an appearance (instead his face is seen in a mural on one of the walls). These scenes, though, are not completely new - they’re also included in the film’s unrated “Super Duper” extended-cut home release. Other “new” scenesįans who have only seen the theatrical release of “Deadpool 2” will notice a few scenes that were not a part of the original cut.
Scenes involving dismemberment have also been toned down, and gone are any explicit references to drugs (though some of the edits are definitely a bit tongue in cheek). This means there are entire sequences that (as expected) have been completely removed from this new version.Īny expletives that haven’t been cut are bleeped out, but “Deadpool 2’s” language is just one piece of its R-rated puzzle. The original “Deadpool 2” took full advantage of its rating by including plenty of violence, profanity and crude humor that just has no place in a family-friendly movie.
