Deadpool arrives in theaters February 12 but director Tim Miller and actor T.J. Miller are already talking blu-ray /DVD extras. It sounds like there was a big action scene that had to be cut down and a boatload of vulgar jokes that were simply too extreme for theatrical release. Perhaps they'll show up as deleted scenes?
"There was a bunch of stuff, honestly, an extended version [of a fight with] a couple more beats of violence there that I liked," stated Tim Miller. He continued, "In particular, there was a bar scene that was too vulgar for even the R-rated Deadpool. That bar scene was particularly mean and offensive to a lot of people because T.J. and Ryan got together and wrote a version of the scene that we just said, 'Oh my God, this is too far.' I mean there were so many people offended it would have really been - we couldn't do it. It was just mean and so I said, 'No. We don't have to do that.'" T.J. Miller added, "We did kind of go back and forth and it just got more and more hateful. Ryan's a very, very good improvisor, and he's very funny and, like, one of the sweetest guys. It was very... heavy duty."
