History Trivia / Deadpool2

*** Creator/DavidHarbour, Creator/ViggoMortensen, Creator/MichaelShannon, Creator/JohnCena, and Wrestling/{{Edge|Wrestler}} read for the part of Cable as well. Mortensen was previously approached for the role of Comicbook/{{Wolverine}} in ''Film/XMen1''. Harbour would later go on to play Red Guardian in ''Film/{{Black Widow|2021}}'', set within the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse.
*** Creator/PierceBrosnan, Creator/AlecBaldwin, Creator/KurtRussell, Creator/StephenLang, Creator/MelGibson, Creator/RonPerlman, Creator/RussellCrowe, Creator/BruceWillis, Creator/KyleChandler, Creator/DolphLundgren, Creator/SylvesterStallone, and Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger were also considered for Cable before the casting of Brolin.

*** Creator/MaryElizabethWinstead, Creator/KerryWashington, Creator/LizzyCaplan, Creator/RubyRose, Creator/SofiaBoutella, Creator/StephanieSigman, Creator/MackenzieDavis, [[Film/Baywatch2017 Kelly Rohrbach]], [[Film/RobinHood2018 Eve Hewson]], Creator/SylviaHoeks, and Music/JanelleMonae read for the role of Domino as well before the casting of Beetz.
** [[Film/TheCabinInTheWoods Drew Goddard]], [[Film/GhostInTheShell2017 Rupert Sanders]], and [[Series/GoodBehavior Magnus Martens]] were in the running to direct the film before [[Film/AtomicBlonde David Leitch]] was hired.

* AuthorsSavingThrow:
** Much like the previous movie brought in a more prominently featured and TruerToTheText version of Deadpool, this film does the same for the Juggernaut after he was infamously underused and [[MemeticMutation made into a joke]] in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand''. Also counts as FridgeBrilliance when you realize that both Juggernaut and Deadpool had been poorly executed in the X-Men films, only to be redeemed in Deadpool's solo films (and being played by [[Creator/RyanReynolds the same actor, even]]).
** The infamous pegging scene from the previous movie showed Wade being uncomfortable on the receiving end of a strap-on, something fans expressed disbelief over considering that it's...well, ''Wade.'' This time around, he eagerly asks Vanessa to go get the strap-on, and though she points out that this isn't going to help them in their babymaking endeavors, does so gladly.
** WordOfGod stating the time-travel stingers are indeed canon, so while the swarm of thinkpieces over Vanessa being StuffedInTheFridge after being an interesting character in the first film still made their way out, in the end, she's still around.

*** [[Creator/YasuyukiKase Deadpool]], [[Creator/YuShimamura Negasonic]], [[Creator/AkioOhtsuka Cable]], [[Creator/KentaMiyake Bedlam]], [[Creator/YuuichiNakamura Shatterstar]], and [[spoiler:[[Creator/KenjiNomura Juggernaut]]]]'s voice actors worked previously in the animated TV adaptation of ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' as Mikitaka Hasekura, Shinobu Kawajiri, Wammu, Mohammed Abdul, Bruno Bucciarati,[[note]]plus Narciso Anasui from ''Videogame/JoJosBizarreAdventureAllStarBattle''[[/note]] and [[spoiler:Santana]] respectively.
*** And from ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}'', we have [[Creator/YasuyukiKase Deadpool]] as Mikiya Awakusu, [[Creator/SatoshiMikami Peter]] as Sloan, and [[Creator/AkioOhtsuka Cable]] as Shigen Kishitani.
*** From ''Manga/GoldenKamuy'': [[Creator/AkioOhtsuka Cable]] is Nihei Tetsuzou, [[spoiler:[[Creator/KenjiNomura Juggernaut]] is Ushiyama Tatsuma]], and Makoto Tamura (Zeitgeist) is Tanigaki.

* TalkingToHimself: Deadpool and [[spoiler:Juggernaut]] are both played by Ryan Reynolds, which is confirmed by WordOfGod.

*** Creator/DavidHarbour, Creator/ViggoMortensen, Creator/MichaelShannon, Creator/JohnCena, and Wrestling/{{Edge}} read for the part of Cable as well. Mortensen was previously approached for the role of Comicbook/{{Wolverine}} in ''Film/XMen1''. Harbour would later go on to play Red Guardian in ''Film/{{Black Widow|2021}}'', set within the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse.

** Creator/ZazieBeetz is of mixed ancestry and as such ComicBook/{{Domino|Marvel Comics}} doesn't have albinism in this version, but she portrays the role with the right kind of charisma and attitude that it didn't matter in the end.

** As usual, some of the more saucy scenes were completely cut or altered in countries with stricter censorship codes. For example, shots with Deadpool's baby-sized penis were obstucted with an added piece of loincloth to pass censorship standards (since it's CGI, they just made an alternative take with the cloth in place).
** Some Asian countries like China, Malaysia and Singapore, got ''Once Upon A Deadpool'' on Streaming Services, and on the Video On Demand and Pay Per View services of several Pay TV providers, [[LateExportForYou in Spring 2019]], but not in cinemas.
* BannedInChina: Well, not exactly banned, but like its predecessor, ''Deadpool 2'' was denied a release in China due to the excessive violence. Ultimately the PG-13 cut of the movie was given a release there.

* CreatorBacklash: A minor example with Josh Brolin. While he's gone on record to state he's enjoyed playing Cable, he admitted in a 2020 interview that he felt like being in Deadpool 2 was more of a "[[https://www.indiewire.com/2020/10/josh-brolin-deadpool-2-business-transaction-1234590160/ business transaction]]". as Brolin had less creative freedom to experiment with the character like he did with Thanos in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse.
* CreativeDifferences: During pre-production, Tim Miller left due to CreativeDifferences with star and co-producer Creator/RyanReynolds. Junkie XL who wrote the music for the first film followed suit, and so did Angel Dust's actress Creator/GinaCarano.
* CrossDressingVoices: In the Japanese dub, Creator/JunkoMinagawa voices Russel.

* FatalMethodActing: Professional driver Joi "S.J." Harris (who was acting as a stuntwoman, despite the fact that stunt coordinators were against the idea) [[http://breaking911.com/breaking-female-stunt-performer-movie-deadpool-2-killed-set/ died on set]] on August 14th 2017, forcing the production to shut down during the investigation.

* IKnewIt: A minor one, but after the first film, many fans began headcanoning that Negasonic was either lesbian, bi, or queer, in large part because of her actress' own identity and because of her appearance (shaved head and gender-neutral goth-punk clothes) seemed queer-coded. Sure enough, when this film comes out she's subsequently depicted as in a romantic relationship with a woman.

** Bedlam punching someone has been left out. Similarly, a scene of Shatterstar fighting two prison guards is absent.
** Deadpool saying "You're absolutely right" to Domino after she answered "Isn't that a little derivative?" to his announcement of their team's name (the X-Force) has been cut.

** Wade's excuse of rounding up all the gluten in the world, as his excuse for being late, is replaced with rescuing "handi-capable kids from a tree", and "fighting a [[Characters/SupermanTheCharacter caped]] [[Characters/BatmanTheCharacter badass]], and discovered that [[Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice his mamma was named Martha too.]]" Though these were returned in the Super Duper cut.
* MultipleLanguagesSameVoiceActor: As traditionally done involving Japanese actors, Shiori Kutsuna dubs herself as Yukio in the Japanese dub.
* NoExportForYou: ''Once Upon a Deadpool'' (the ChristmasSpecial PG-13 cut of the film with a FramingDevice starring Creator/FredSavage) has been released in cinemas in the USA, Japan and Mexico only. Other countries only get it on Direct-To-Video or Pay-Per-View, if at all.

* TheOtherMarty: Averted for T.J. Miller, following his aforementioned offscreen behavior, with many fans suggesting recasting his role, in a similar fashion to ''Film/AllTheMoneyInTheWorld''. However, the studio decided against the idea, according to producer Shuler Donner, as the movie was already "in the final editing" at the time.
* QueerCharacterQueerActor: Negasonic is revealed to be a lesbian in this movie, similar to her actress Creator/BriannaHildebrand (who is bisexual, though she prefers simply "queer"). In fact, she got into a relationship with a woman in the art department on the movie.

*** [[Creator/YasuyukiKase Deadpool]], [[Creator/KentaMiyake Bedlam]], [[Creator/YuuichiNakamura Shatterstar]], Zeitgeist (Makoto Tamura), [[Creator/JunkoMinagawa Russell]] and [[Creator/SatoshiMikami Peter]]'s voice actors are [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse JARVIS/The Vision, Thor, Captain America, Black Panther, Nakia and Dr. Strange]] respectively.
*** Creator/YuShimamura and Masafumi Kimura (Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Colossus respectively) previously worked together in the Japanese dub of ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' as Blake Belladonna and her father Ghira respectively as well. Hilariously enough, Colossus is the mentor figure for Negasonic in the film.
*** Another gag involving the same voice actress, and while technically they don't appear together in the same place, [[Creator/YuShimamura Negasonic]] and Yukio's both in-film in the original version and [[MultipleLanguagesSameVoiceActor dub voice actress]] (Shiori Kutsuna) worked together in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV'' (with Kutsuna in ''Anime/KingsglaiveFinalFantasyXV'') as Cindy Aurum and Lunafreya "Luna" Nox Fleuret respectively, while [[Creator/KentaMiyake Bedlam]]'s VA is Gladiolus "Gladio" Amicitia, [[Creator/YuuichiNakamura Shatterstar]] is Ravus Nox Fleuret and [[spoiler:[[Creator/KenjiNomura Juggernaut]] is Wedge Kincaid]].
*** [[Creator/YasuyukiKase Deadpool]], [[Creator/YuShimamura Negasonic]], [[Creator/AkioOhtsuka Cable]], [[Creator/KentaMiyake Bedlam]], [[Creator/YuuichiNakamura Shatterstar]] and [[spoiler:[[Creator/KenjiNomura Juggernaut]]]]'s voice actors worked previously in the animated TV adaptation of ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' as Mikitaka Hasekura, Shinobu Kawajiri, Wammu, Mohammed Abdul, Bruno Bucciarati[[note]]Plus Narciso Anasui from ''Videogame/JoJosBizarreAdventureAllStarBattle''.[[/note]] and [[spoiler:Santana]] respectively.
*** And from ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}'', we have [[Creator/YasuyukiKase Deadpool]] as Mikiya Awakusu, [[Creator/SatoshiMikami Peter]] as Sloan and [[Creator/AkioOhtsuka Cable]] as Shigen Kishitani.

*** From ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'': Domino (Mayumi Sako) is Vice, [[Creator/YuShimamura Negasonic]] is Mature in ''The King of Fighters: Allstar'' and Colossus (Masafumi Kimura) is Igniz in also ''The King of Fighters: Allstar''.

*** [[Creator/JoseAntonioMacias Deadpool]], [[Creator/VictorUgarte Shatterstar]] and Bedlam (Gerardo Vasquez) are [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} James, Tracy Sketch and Meowth]].

* RoleEndingMisdemeanor: Because of T.J. Miller's offscreen behavior in the months leading up to this film's release, including being part of the sexual abuse allegations arisen during the Weinstein Effect, accusations of transphobia by a former friend, and eventually concluding in calling in a fake bomb threat at Penn Station in revenge on a woman he'd argued with, until he got kicked off the train, Creator/RyanReynolds made a statement that Miller will not be invited back to any hypothetical follow-up films. Whether this means Weasel will be PutOnABus or [[TheOtherDarrin recast]] remains to be seen.
* RoleReprise: In the Japanese dub, [[spoiler:Creator/KenjiNomura reprised his role as Juggernaut from the TV Asahi dub of ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'']].

* TalkingToHimself: Yes, Deadpool and [[spoiler:Juggernaut]] are both played by Ryan Reynolds, which is confirmed by WordOfGod.

*** Creator/DavidHarbour, Creator/ViggoMortensen, Creator/MichaelShannon, Creator/JohnCena, and Wrestling/{{Edge}} read for the part of Cable as well. Mortensen was previously approached for the role of Comicbook/{{Wolverine}} in ''Film/XMen1''. Harbour would later go on to play Red Guardian in ''Film/{{Black Widow|2021}}'' set within the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse.

** [[https://theplaylist.net/tim-miller-deadpool-2-fantastic-four-20191029/?utm_source=dlvr.it Tim Miller's]] original vision for the sequel envisioned a more comic-accurate (i.e. tall) Cable as well as an expanded role for Vanessa as she became the character Copycat. Additionally, Miller planned for an appearance by ComicBook/TheThing, with Creator/MichaelChiklis reprising his role, who would fight [[spoiler:The Juggernaut]] in the climax.

** Likewise, another idea was to have Creator/MichaelBJordan, Creator/MilesTeller, Creator/KateMara and Creator/JamieBell from the failed ''Film/{{Fantastic Four|2015}}'' reboot show up, but the scene never made it past the scripting stage.

** In the original cut, [[spoiler:Vanessa and Peter's]] deaths were [[KilledOffForReal meant to be permanent]]. David Leitch came up with the idea for the TheStinger, where Wade [[spoiler:travels back in time and prevents both characters from being killed]], after the first test screenings, and it was added in the reshoots.
** X-Force was originally going to get blown up by landing on a minefield. The filmmakers scrapped the idea when they were unable to come up with a good reason for the plane to be flying over an airfield.

** According to Creator/LewisTan, Deadpool did in fact save Shatterstar and the other members of the X-Force from death using TimeTravel at the end just like Vanessa and Peter, and said that his character will be return as a main cast member in the ''X-Force'' movie. It has yet to confirmed as true outside of his own statement, however, and how much this will hold remains to be seen with Disney's official acquisition of Fox on the horizon.

* CastTheRunnerUp: Creator/BradPitt was offered the role of Cable. He would eventually go on to portray the Vanisher, an invisible character, who ends up being electrocuted by a telephone ''cable''.

*** Creator/PierceBrosnan, Creator/AlecBaldwin, Creator/KurtRussell, Creator/StephenLang, Creator/MelGibson, Creator/RonPerlman, Creator/RussellCrowe, Creator/BruceWillis, Creator/DolphLundgren, Creator/SylvesterStallone, and Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger were also considered for Cable before the casting of Brolin.

*** Creator/MaryElizabethWinstead, Creator/KerryWashington, Creator/LizzyCaplan, Creator/RubyRose, Creator/SofiaBoutella, Creator/StephanieSigman, Creator/MackenzieDavis, [[Film/Baywatch2017 Kelly Rohrbach]], [[Film/RobinHood2018 Eve Hewson]], Creator/SylviaHoeks, and Music/JanelleMonae screen-tested for the role of Domino as well before the casting of Beetz.

*** From ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'': Domino (Mayumi Sako) is Vice and [[Creator/YuShimamura Negasonic]] is Mature.[[note]]Through only in ''Animation/TheKingOfFightersDestiny'', ''The King of Fighters: Allstar'' and any game onwards besides KOF XIV, which sports a very different voice actress.[[/note]]

** Wade's excuse of rounding up all the gluten in the world, as his excuse for being late, is replaced with rescuing "handi-capable kids from a tree", and "fighting a [[Characters/SupermanTheCharacter caped]] [[Characters/BatmanTheCharacter badass]], and discovered that [[Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice his mamma was named Martha too.]]"

* ActingForTwo: Creator/RyanReynolds plays both the eponymous protagonist and [[spoiler:Juggernaut]]. If you add [[spoiler:Weapon XI and [[AsHimself Himself]] in TheStinger]], that makes ''four'' roles.

* BadExportForYou: As usual, some of the more saucy scenes were completely cut or altered in countries with stricter censorship codes. For example, shots with Deadpool's baby-sized penis were obstucted with an added piece of loincloth to pass censorship standards (since it's CGI, they just made an alternative take with the cloth in place).

* DeletedScene: According to Creator/RobLiefeld, the filmmakers had actually shot an entire fight scene between Black Tom and Deadpool on the convoy that ended up being cut for time.

* TheOtherMarty: Averted for T.J. Miller, following his aforementioned offscreen behavior, with many fans suggesting recasting his role, in a similar fashion to ''[[Film/AlltheMoneyintheWorld All The Money In The World]]''. However, the studio decided against the idea, according to producer Shuler Donner, as the movie was already “in the final editing” at the time.
