Deadpool 2 writers reveal deleted suicide montage scene

Writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick revealed during a Reddit AMA that a specific sequence was cut from the film Deadpool 2. The deleted scene reportedly featured a suicide montage where the character Wade Wilson attempts various methods of self-harm, such as drinking drain cleaner and jumping into a polar bear enclosure, with the intensity of the actions increasing throughout the sequence.

While the writers did not explicitly state the reason for the cut, it is suggested that the studio, 20th Century Fox, likely vetoed the scene due to concerns regarding the depiction of suicide in media and the potential for public backlash.
