00:00In a recent interview with IndieWire, Deadpool and Wolverine co-writers Rhett Reese and Paul
00:04Wernick revealed an exciting behind-the-scenes detail on their Marvel blockbuster regarding
00:08one famous slavery role.
00:09Now the duo noted that they initially hoped to include Robert Downey Jr. as none other
00:13than Tony Stark aka Iron Man in a cameo.
00:16The scene was meant to show Deadpool pitching himself to join the Avengers.
00:19However, Downey turned down the offer.
00:21The twist?
00:22He's set to return in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a completely different role known
00:26as Doctor Doom.
00:27Reese and Wernick had envisioned a scene with Stark and Favreau's Happy Hogan where
00:31Deadpool's Avengers pitch gets rejected, but Downey's future role as Doctor Doom
00:35actually made it impossible for him to return as Iron Man.
00:38Despite this, the scene with Happy Hogan remained, showcasing Deadpool's humorous rejection.
00:43They also considered a version where all the original Avengers, including Hulk, Black Widow,
00:47Hawkeye, Thor, and Captain America, would confront Deadpool.
00:50It would have been a hilarious showdown, including a comedic moment with Robert Delaney's Peter
00:54lifting Thor's hammer.
00:55Though Downey's cameo was scrapped, his upcoming role as Doctor Doom is highly anticipated,
00:59promising a major shift in the MCU.
