Ryan Reynolds has revealed a Deadpool 3 pitch that Disney wasn't happy with, and it involved Bambi.
During a conversation with Andrew Garfield for Variety's Actors on Actors Seriessaid the Deadpool star, “I pitched one where it was a two-handed game between me and the hunter who shot Bambi's mom. His response was, 'We're not touching Bambi, Ryan.'”
“It's the crossover we've all been waiting for,” Garfield chimed in, laughing.
Of course, the third Deadpool movie ended up being a two-hander, but with a completely different character. “It was a year and a half of tap dancing until Hugh [Jackman] “I called and said, 'I want to come back and do this,'” Reynolds continued.
Deadpool and Wolverine, which hit theaters in July, sees the titular duo team up in an attempt to save Deadpool's timeline, and everyone in it, after the TVA threatens to destroy it. The cast also includes Emma Corrin as Cassandra Nova and Succession's Matthew Macfadyen as TVA agent Paradox, as well as many cameos from characters from the 20th Century Fox archives.
The film was just nominated for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement at the Golden Globes, along with this year's other big box office hits like Alien: Romulus, Gladiator 2, and Wicked.
Meanwhile, Garfield was talking about his latest movie, the romantic drama We Live in Time. He stars alongside Florence Pugh and the film follows a couple's relationship over the course of a decade.
