The moment, from the scene where Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool wakes up at the Fox heroes' hideout in The Void, sees The Merc with the Mouth responding to the (at-the-time) unknown fourth member by asking if it’s Magneto.
Previously, Reynolds toldColliderthat there was a back-and-forth with Disney over taking out one joke in Deadpool and Wolverine. The joke was never named, but it wasn’t a hill the Deadpool actor was willing to die on.
“There was a note about this one line, and I’ll say this, which is that I was asked to take the line out. I was not even mandated to take the line out. To quote someone in a very high position of leadership at Disney, ‘I’m in for a penny, I’m in for a pound. And if you take it out, I’d love it. If you don’t, I will still love and support you, this movie and all the hard work that went into it.’” Reynolds said.
Reynolds continued, “So, come on. At that point you go, ‘Do I want to stick with pride? Do I care? Am I going to die on a hill over one joke?’ Look, the answer is of course I’m going to die on a hill over one joke, but then you sober up a few weeks later.”
