Disney requested the removal of a joke about Mickey Mouse’s “c–k” from the “Deadpool & Wolverine” movie, starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. Reynolds revealed that Disney CEO Bob Iger asked him to cut the line, which was included in the script but not in the final film. Despite this, other jokes taking digs at Disney, Marvel, and the personal lives of the stars made it into the movie. The official script was released on Disney’s FYC portal, revealing the unspoken joke and its replacement, which involved Pinocchio. The film, Marvel’s first R-rated release, has been a success, grossing $1.3 billion at the box office. “Deadpool & Wolverine” can now be streamed on Disney+. The movie’s creators praised Disney for allowing most of their humor to stay in the film, showcasing Reynolds’ bold and audacious style. The humorous jabs made at various taboo subjects and celebrity divorces in the movie sparked conversation, contributing to its box office success. Despite the controversial jokes, “Deadpool & Wolverine” has boosted Disney’s standing on Wall Street and continues to be a popular choice for viewers on Disney+.
