Ryan Reynolds claims Marvel changed the original title for Deadpool & Wolverine right before the Super Bowl trailer because it was not good.
As far as titles go,Deadpool & Wolverineseems a fitting name considering the third Deadpool film stars both characters.
However, Ryan Reynolds has revealed that another title almost graced the big screen instead. The movie initially bore the name of Deadpool and Friends, according to comments made by Reynolds during a Jimmy Kimmel Live interview.
He told the audience (viaScreenTime), “The movie was originally called Deadpool and Friends. I am actually not joking.”
As a result, Deadpool’s third movie did away with the “Friends” moniker and added “Wolverine” to the title.

Thematically speaking, Deadpool and Friends did make sense to a certain degree. Wolverine does not count as the Merc’s only ally in the film, given the inclusion of characters such as Colossus, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Blind Al, and more.
Plus, to the delight of fans, the MCU movie is also confirmed to feature a whole host ofinteresting Deadpool variants, including the likes of Dogpool, Kidpool, and Lady Deadpool.
Deadpool & Wolverine, its past title drama aside, is on track to make history for the long-running MCU saga. The mega franchise currently sits at a box office earnings total of $29.7 billion after 33 film releases.
