Marvel Studios wants to hit the table this year with Deadpool and Wolverine. The third installment of the Merc with a Mouth alongside the legendary mutant will be the only House of Ideas film to premiere on the big screen this year, but the plans that Fox had before Disney arrived were quite different.
In an exclusive interview with ScreenRant, the actor Karan Soniwho plays taxi driver Dopinder in the saga, revealed that Fox had a very clear plan with Deadpool 3. Although it also included the beloved Hugh Jackman, the plot had a different focus: Deadpool and Wolverine had to save Christmas.
“Yeah, I think it's a little online, so I can. Originally it was going to be a road trip movie where Deadpool tries to save Christmas, so we all go to the North Pole.”
As Soni tells it, the plot of Deadpool 3 on Fox was a Christmas Road Movie, with several of the franchise's most famous mutants traveling to the North Pole with the aim of saving one of the most special days for much of the world.
Fortunately or unfortunately, this story was finally scrapped after Disney's acquisition of Fox, completely changing the script and focusing, above all, on multiversal trips so that Wade Wilson and his companions reach the MCU in style. Deadpool and Wolverine will hit theaters around the world on July 26, 2024.
