Ryan Reynolds' absence led to Deadpool being butchered.
How NOT to introduce Deadpool
With Inside Out 2 boosting 2024's summer box office by becoming the first film to make a billion dollars this year, it's now up to Deadpool 3 to keep the momentum going, which is set for release this month. While fans expect to see many beloved heroes appear on screen, given the scope of this multi-faceted story, one variant that no one wants to see again is Deadpool from X-Men Origins.
Arguably on par with Ryan Reynolds' Green Lantern when it comes to butchering a beloved comic figure, John Wick star Scott Adkins took the blame for the infamous version of the character.
While his character starts off on a similar note to its comic book counterpart, things go haywire by the time the film reaches the third act. It sees the infamously bald, mouthless Deadpool, thus robbing him of his most notable perk. This was a result of the absence of Ryan Reynolds, who was only available for the early scenes of the character, leading to Scott Adkins jumping in for the remainder of the film.
