With the Deadpool and Wolverine film now at $1.1b and still going strong and already the most successful R-rated film at the box office, Ryan Reynolds has recently spoken about the Deadpool and Wolverine cameo that was cut.
And that cameo was a Time Variance Authority soldier played by Rob McElhenney, a close friend of Reynolds and also the co-owner of their Wrexham football club, making it an even more difficult decision.
On is instagram Reynolds said, ‘“A word on my “darling” friend, @robmcelhenney. Rob very kindly did a cameo in #DeadpoolAndWolverine which will hopefully live on in the digital extras……..While editing a movie, they say you “sometimes have to kill your darlings.” And with a heavy heart (and through great outside intervention) I had to kill a darling with this cameo.”
He went on to explain that he cut the scene because the “sequence wasn’t working the way we’d originally constructed it.” and added, “Rob was the only reason it stayed in the cut for as long as it did, because even under a TVA mask and helmet, you can feel him smoldering with a raw and almost infinite reservoir of talent, writerly wit and ‘I create hit tv shows’ swagger,” he said. “Don’t even get me started on Wrexham. I wouldn’t know a love like @wrexham_afc if it weren’t for Rob McElhenney.”
In typical style Reynolds went on to say,’ I’m mortified he flew all the way to London for a cameo that wasn’t meant to be, I’m grateful my friend was there with me on that set. When I see Rob, my heart-rate slows and my nervous system stops yelling at me. He shows up for people. And he showed up for me. …….Even as he begged for his life before Alioth snatched his unsuspecting body into the air, swallowing him whole, eventually digesting and converting him into Alioth-poo,” Reynolds concluded. “RIP TVA Soldier.”
