Deadpool and Wolverine originally had a "deleted scenes extravaganza" that would've showed Deadpool "was in the MCU the whole time"

Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool in Deadpool & Wolverine.

Assembled: The Making of Deadpool and Wolverine has arrived, and executive producer Wendy Jacobson says they had a plethora of "crazy ideas" for the third movie.

"We had a 'Deadpool's Deleted Scenes Extravaganza' where we were going to try and show that he was in the MCU the whole time - you just didn't see his scenes, they were all on the cutting room floor," Jacobson explained, adding that they were "really just trying to find a reason for this movie to be."

The accompanying image for Deadpool's Deleted Scenes Extravaganza sees a crayon drawing of Deadpool standing in a portal waving next to Doctor Strange, before cutting to a brief scene where Deadpool is standing rather goofily in front of Thanos. 

Another scrapped idea from Jacobson's notes included a shot-for-shot remake of Thor 2 but with Deadpool instead. Though it would've been a bit much to stretch over the course of a feature-length film, it would've made a great post-credits scene or bonus feature on the digital and physical release. The "reason" for a third Deadpool movie, Jacobson went on to explain, was, of course, Hugh Jackman's Wolverine. The hour-long making-of documentary includes commentary from Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, director Shawn Levy, and more.

Assembled: The Making of Deadpool and Wolverine is streaming now on Disney Plus. Deadpool and Wolverine is also finally streaming now on Disney Plus (and is still playing somehow in select theaters in the United States).
