The Marvel Cinematic Universe is always growing, thanks to projects that are released in theaters and streaming with a Disney+ subscription . The latest movie to arrive is Deadpool & Wolverine , which broke records at the box office. The blockbuster included a number of references to Marvel head Kevin Feige , although there's one Deadpool 3 rumor he insists never happened.
Let's break it all down. During the blockbuster's runtime, Wade Wilson breaks the fourth wall and jokes that Kevin Feige put the kibosh on doing cocaine with Blind Al. This running gag became one of the best Deadpool jokes in the movie, although the Marvel studio head is disputing the recollection of Shan Levy and Ryan Reynolds .
During a conversation with Variety , Feige clarified his feelings about Wade Wilson's drug use. In his words: We were open to anything. Maybe I’m slightly prudish when it comes to drug use, but I was like, ‘Eh, it’s not that funny.
’ There you have it. This is in stark juxtaposition to the way that Kevin Feige was portrayed throughout the runtime of Deadpool & Wolverine . It sounds like he wasn't totally opposed to the Merc with a Mouth doing drugs, but it simply needed to be funny enough to warrant it.
After all, there movie included a ton of F-bombs, wild violence, and references to pegging. So it's not like Ryan Reynolds and company had to hold back much. During Deadpool & Wolverine, Ryan Reynolds' signature character alleges that Feige insisted that he could not do cocai.
