As a film enthusiast with over three decades of cinematic escapades under my belt, I must say that the deleted scene from Deadpool & Wolverine featuring the infamous Mickey Mouse joke is a testament to the creative freedom that the R-rated Marvel universe offers. The audacity of Ryan Reynolds’ character, Deadpool, to make such a jab at Disney’s beloved mascot, even if it was just a draft, showcases the boundary-pushing nature of this franchise.
It seems that aside from cocaine, making jokes about Disney’s cherished mascot Mickey Mouse was also off-limits during the production of Deadpool & Wolverine. This is implied in a newly released deleted scene where a rather risqué joke about Mickey Mouse can be found!
Disney and Marvel Studios have commenced their Oscar-season promotion for Deadpool & Wolverine, with the script being distributed to critics for potential nominations in the screenwriting category. The script contains dialogue that was initially removed, not so much a full “scene” as snippets of conversation.
In Act 2 of the movie “Deadpool & Wolverine“, characters Wade Wilson/Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) and Logan/The Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) manage to flee from the lair of antagonist Cassandra Nova (Emma Corrin). They’re later found by Laura/X-23 (Dafne Keen) and taken to the secret base of a resistance group. This group is composed of Blade (Wesley Snipes), Elektra (Jennifer Garner), Gambit (Channing Tatum), among others. The scene where these iconic characters are introduced is a well-known, memorable moment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, frequently shared as memes and reels. Nevertheless, there was one line of dialogue between the characters that didn’t make it into the movie’s final version…
Deadpool & Wolverine’s Dirty Micky Mouse Joke Explained
In the extended version of the movie, Deadpool interacts with Blade, Elektra, and Gambit, and learns that there’s a fourth character. Deadpool sincerely wishes this mystery person is Magneto. However, Blade clarifies that Magneto is no longer alive, which angers Deadpool. He then laments the fact that Disney didn’t provide a larger budget to secure renowned actors like Ian McKellen or Michael Fassbender (who played Magneto in different X-Men films). In frustration, Deadpool likens this predicament to “Pinocchio shoving his nose up my backside and telling fibs nonstop.
Instead, the original script for Deadpool and Wolverine had a different, more explicit version of the line, which read: “Gosh darn it! Can’t we even afford another X-Man? Disney is so frugal. I can hardly swallow with all this Mickey Mouse bullcrap down my throat.” This new phrase maintains the original sentiment while using less offensive language.
It’s quite understandable why Disney, among the filmmakers, editors, or producers, might decide to eliminate that specific line. After all, any humorous remarks attributed to Deadpool, such as his raunchy quips, often become viral sensations on platforms like memes, reels, or TikTok. Many of the Deadpool and Wolverine exchanges have already achieved this status. If we were to apply that comedic potential to a vulgar visual concept involving Mickey Mouse, it’s easy to envision why Disney wouldn’t want such content spreading across social media pages any more than it currently does.
It’s worth noting that altering this line of dialogue doesn’t diminish the gritty reputation of Deadpool & Wolverine. The movie remains unique within the MCU as the only R-rated film, and it certainly made good use of its “badge of dishonor”. However, it’s unfortunate that Wade didn’t disclose his initial intention to make a more explicit comment about Disney. After all, he stepped on Pinocchio unintentionally, leaving a rather large hole in the ‘fourth wall’, which is supposed to be a sacred passage symbolizing truth.
It’s enjoyable to see how Disney and Marvel used fictitious names like “Billy” for Blade, “Eleven” for Elektra, “Lemon” for Laura, and the standout “Gatsby” for Gambit in their scripts, keeping a lid on the major character appearances in the film.
