Ryan Reynolds Says He Wanted to Sneak DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE Into an “Intentionally Bad” Fake Movie — GeekTyrant

During the initial brainstorming process of Deadpool 3, Ryan Reynolds had an interesting idea that he thought about playing with.

He wanted to sneak Deadpool & Wolverine into an “intentionally bad fake movie titled Alpha Cop.” Reynolds shared the details of this idea in an interview with Hot Ones with Hugh Jackman.

Alpha Cop would’ve acted as a smokescreen for Deadpool & Wolverine and it would’ve followed two cops who share the same brain.

Its slogan would’ve been: “Alpha Cop. Two cops. One brain. All balls.” Early in the film, it would’ve been revealed as a gag before playing Deadpool & Wolverine in full.

Reynolds said: “Ten people in America would go to see this Alpha on opening weekend. If you manage to get right down to the last minute, and [the reveal] gets blown, it would be heartbreaking,”

It’s obvious why they didn’t go that route. It’s a fun idea, but one that ultimately wouldn’t have wouldn’t have really worked for a variety of reasons.

With all the things that leak out online these days, I don’t think they would’ve been able to pull it off. Do you think they could’ve actually pulled this off?
