Deadpool is one of the greatest comedies of all time, and we need to explore every single thing about it. Just so we can squeeze as many laughs as possible.
They wanted Wolverine in the movie
Deadpool Writer Paul Wernick had this to say about having Wolverine:
“Hugh’s seen the movie and loved the movie we’ve heard. Obviously, he and Ryan are very close friends, and who knows what happens in the future? We would love to bring Hugh and Wolverine into ‘Deadpool’s’ universe, at least for a brief moment. That would be a dream come true.”
Ryan Reynolds Paid For The Writers To Be On Set
Apparently, Fox wouldn’t pony up any money for writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick to be on set, so Ryan Reynolds paid for them out of his own pocket.
How nice of him.

Miller wanted a big budget, Reynolds wanted to remain small. Guess who won out?
The Reason Deadpool Forgot His Guns
Apparently, there was supposed to be this huge gunfight in Act 3 that the producers just… just didn’t have money for.
So that’s the reason that Deadpool forgot his guns.
James Cameron and David Fincher had a hand in making this movie.
According to writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, both the big-time filmmakers did this:
“They read the script each of them at two independent key moments during the script’s development. And each one of them was kind enough to go to 20th Century Fox and essentially throw in their good word just saying ‘Hey, what are you guys doing with Deadpool? You should be making this!'”
