In an unexpected turn of events, Ryan Reynolds has decided to remove Rob McElhenney’s brief appearance from the highly anticipated Deadpool 3. According to insiders involved with the project, the removal was due to differences in creative visions held by the two actors.
Reynolds, who plays a significant role in shaping the film, believed that McElhenney’s cameo was not in line with the overall tone and trajectory of the storyline. Although Reynolds and McElhenney have previously worked together on the series “Mythic Quest,” and even collaborated on drafting a version of the Deadpool 3 script, it appears their ideas for the film eventually diverged.
McElhenney, widely recognized for his performances in “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” and “Mythic Quest,” was supposed to feature in a minor role related to the Deadpool universe. This decision by Reynolds to exclude the cameo has reportedly sent McElhenney’s agents on a hunt for new opportunities for him.
This news is quite a surprise for fans who were looking forward to seeing McElhenney in the Deadpool saga, particularly because the cameo was intended to celebrate his previous collaborations with Reynolds. Their on-screen reunion was highly anticipated by many supporters of the franchise.
Despite these challenges, those close to the film’s development maintain that the production schedule remains unaffected. The screenplay is currently being fine-tuned, with filming expected to commence soon.
Whether McElhenney will secure a different role in the movie or if his intended cameo will be filled by another character remains unclear. However, the unfolding drama seems to have heightened the anticipation and buzz surrounding the upcoming release of Deadpool 3.
