Shawn Levy’s Deadpool & Wolverine released in July to an amazing opening that seemed to have put Marvel back on track. After some of its worst openings, the franchise seems to have finally hit it out of the park with the Ryan Reynolds starrer. With Hugh Jackman’s return and many surprise cameos, the film turned out to be a visceral experience.
Since the release, Reynolds has posted multiple tidbits about the film and many behind-the-scenes moments. A few deleted scenes have also surfaced, with one in particular showing Jackman’s Wolverine, flipping the bird at the Deadpool Corps, which many felt should have been in the movie.
Shawn Levy Should Have Kept Hugh Jackman’s Finger To The Deadpool Corps

After a series of duds from the MCU, Hugh Jackman’s return to the Wolverine mantle brought back many fans to the screens in Deadpool & Wolverine. The first R-rated MCU film had plenty of gore, F-bombs, jokes, and fourth-wall breaks as Ryan Reynolds’ merc-with-the-mouth entered the Disney world.
Jackman, too, gets to shine as a depressed and angry Wolverine variant who grapples with the guilt of massacring his home reality and being stuck with Deadpool. While many of his profanities remain in the film, one shot seemed to be cut out by director Shawn Levy. The scene sees Wolverine giving the finger to the Deadpool Corps.

While it is not known why the scene was cut in the film (as Deadpool said, audiences like longer runtimes), many fans opined that the scene would have been a fun addition to the already hilarious sequence.
The sequence also sees Deadpool using Nicepool as a human shield even after knowing that he does not regenerate. Keeping Hugh Jackman’s absolute disdain for anything Deadpool would have made the scene all the more hilarious.

When Hugh Jackman chose to return to his role as Logan, which he played for seventeen years and held the record for longest-running superhero actor, Kevin Feige, and Ryan Reynolds reportedly decided to give him the iconic suit that he never got to wear in X-Men. However, that was not the only iconic moment they brought back.
Reynolds tweeted a deleted scene that sees Jackman saying a legendary line while Deadpool wears the dialogue on him. Reynolds called it ‘The Brando Method’ due to Marlon Brando’s infamous reputation for not learning his lines.
Hugh Jackman also teased that a scene of Wolverine dancing n*ked was also axed at the writing stage.
Deadpool & Wolverine is currently in cinemas as of August 17.
