Jeffrey Harris is a writer at Collider who specializes in animation, superhero movies, and sci-fi and believes in animation's imaginative power.
The road to creating Deadpool & Wolverine is almost more fascinating than the actual movie. Writer, producer, and star Ryan Reynolds privately pitched Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige as many as 18 ideas for the film, and some were downright bizarre. In his quest to make the ultimate Deadpool threequel and the Merc With a Mouth's debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Reynolds threw some wacky ideas at the wall, and quite a few did not stick.
✕ Remove Ads People would go into a movie titled Alpha Cop. However, when audiences wandered in, after about five minutes, the Marvel Studios logo would flash onscreen to reveal the true movie, Deadpool & Wolverine. It's a very clever, highbrow, and meta idea that conforms to the fourth-wall-breaking, meta-humor style of the Deadpool character. However, Reynolds ultimately realized that it would be too difficult to keep the joke secret.
Although the concept sounds hilariously clever, it likely would not have worked out for such a massively budgeted Marvel Studios release. Attempting stealth or a secret bait-and-switch type film release could work for one night at a film festival or special event, but it would negatively affect ticket sales for the film's wide release.
