So whilst we vehemently opposed to people revealing spoiler cameos and ruining it for others – Just why do some audience members think its OK to film the cameo on their phone and then post it online? – it is not spoiling a cameo that never happened and in that respect amongst all the cameos in here’s what the Tony Stark cameo was going to be in Deadpool and Wolverine had it actually happened.
Co-writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick in a recent interview spoke about the intended Tony Stark cameo saying…..
REESE …. That’s definitely something we were toying with. The MCU clearly had bigger plans for Downey, which we’ve just learned, which is the Doctor Doom thing. Ultimately, I think that’s why it didn’t happen, though I don’t have the real reason it didn’t happen. There was talk. It was going to be Downey and Jon Favreau in the scene together.
WERNICK: There is a script. We have the Downey draft.
REESE Ryan wrote a Downey scene, and it was the two of them. It was the two of them. And then the feeling was, if Downey either decides not to do it, or if Marvel decides not to have him do it, or for whatever reason it doesn’t work out, [it would then] be tailored for Happy Hogan. Jon (Favreau) was amazing about it. He hung in there while it was still undetermined for a little while, and then ultimately, he was very gracious about having it expand out a little bit. We did love the idea of Tony Stark being in there, but we also perfectly understand why it didn’t happen given that Downey jumped up on stage and became Dr. Doom not 10 seconds after our movie came out. So it was clear that that was the path that we didn’t realize was the path.
