DEADPOOL AND WOLVERINE BTS Photo Reveals Cut Cameo - Was This A Nick Fury Variant?

A new behind-the-scenes photo from the set of Deadpool and Wolverine is doing the rounds online, and it reveals a cameo that didn't appear in the final cut of the movie...

Deadpool and Wolverine featured quite a few surprise character appearances, with the Merc With a Mouth and Logan encountering Johnny Storm, Blade, Elektra, X-23 and Gambit shortly after they were sent to the Void.

While it wouldn't really be accurate to describe these fairly substantial roles as cameos, Cassandra Nova did enlist a number of Mutant variants as her henchmen, including Pyro, Juggernaut, Callisto, Toad and Psylocke.

Now, a new behind-the-scenes photo reveals that stuntman David Macdonald suited-up as another character that didn't make the cut, and fans believe it was a variant of Nick Fury.

Though he is listed as Erg - a Morlock with an eye-patch with similar powers to Cyclops - in the photo, he looks nothing like that character, and is sporting a leather jacket that is very similar to the one Baywatch star David Hasselhoff wore in the 1998 TV movie, Nick Fury: Agent of Shield.

There's a chance this wasn't supposed to be Fury, of course, but he looks so much like the previous live-action take on the grizzled S.H.I.E.L.D. spy that it's hard to believe this was just a coincidence.

Macdonald also doubled for Channing Tatum for certain scenes, and shared a photo of himself in the Gambit costume.

The MPAA gave the movie an official R-rating for: "Strong bloody violence and language throughout, gore, and sexual references."

“Marvel Studios presents their most significant mistake to date - Deadpool & Wolverine," reads the new synopsis. "A listless Wade Wilson toils away in civilian life. His days as the morally flexible mercenary, Deadpool, behind him. When his homeworld faces an existential threat, Wade must reluctantly suit-up again with an even more reluctantlier... reluctanter? Reluctantest? He must convince a reluctant Wolverine to - F*ck. Synopses are so f*cking stupid.”

In addition to Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in the title roles, Deadpool and Wolverine will see Morena Baccarin (Vanessa), Leslie Uggams (Blind Al), Rob Delaney (Peter), Brianna Hildebrand (Negasonic Teenage Warhead) And Shioli Kutsuna (Yukio) return as their respective characters, and they'll be joined by franchise newcomers Emma Corrin (The Crown) and Matthew Macfadyen (Succession), who will play a TV agent and Charles Xavier's evil counterpart, Cassandra Nova.

Shawn Levy directs Deadpool and Wolverine from a script by Ryan Reynolds, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and Zeb Wells.
