New concept drawings for Deadpool and Wolverine show that Daredevil and dinosaurs almost played a role in the film
New concept art for Deadpool and Wolverine reveals that additional variants and Marvel cameos were originally planned for the film – including Dinopool and Daredevil.
Rodney Fuentebella shared the picture on his Instagramand wrote: “Here’s an early concept illustration I did for the Marvel Studios Deadpool and Wolverine movie. This was in the early stages of filming the movie, so a lot has changed, but I wanted to show how epic and awesome this movie could be back then. I had a blast creating all the interactions between our heroes and the Deadpool variants.”
These variants include Deadpool Dinosaur, also known as Dinopool, a scaly variant we didn’t get to see in the final cut. While the version of the fight scene we see in the film only features the titular duo taking on the variants after escaping the Void in an extended fight scene, the concept art features a few more familiar faces jumping into the fray.
Namely, Chris Evans’ Human Torch, Jennifer Garner’s Elektra and Wesley Snipes’ Blade, who appear elsewhere in the film but not in this particular scene. There’s also Daredevil and Ghost Rider, who didn’t make it into the final cut in any form – we’re guessing they’re the Ben Affleck and Nicolas Cage versions of the characters.
