This Comic Book Character Had to Be Cut From 'Deadpool' Because He Was Too Expensive

"Deadpool" director Tim Miller is talking about the new characters that will be found in the movie, and he has revealed that there is one character they were forced to take out because he would be too expensive to make.

In an interview with Empire, Miller revealed that this character is none other than Garrison Kane, who also goes by the name Weapon X. Just like Wade Wilson, he underwent a government program in order to save his life, but he walked out of the program as a cyborg.

"We had Garrison Kane in there for a while, but in the final round of budget cuts we had to take him out, because he was a pretty expensive dude. He's got these bionic arms that change shape; he would have been a visual effect for a large part of the movie. And as it turned out, a visual effect too far," he shared.

In the end, they decided to go with the character Negasonic, who has a "freaky, funny name." When he suggested that they include her in the movie, writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick were all for it and even said, "Oh my, we have to use her!"

Miller has high praises for lead star Ryan Reynolds and Ed Skrein, who plays Ajax. The two will get into an epic sword fight in the movie and the director said that it was a result of hard work and dedication.

"I can honestly say that nobody worked harder than Ed Skrein did. I loved that guy. He just has the best attitude ever. He trained really hard. He has some good moves and he's really athletic, but he worked really, really hard with our stunt coordinators to do the best he could," he said. "Probably 80 per cent of what you see on screen is him."

Even though Reynolds did not work as hard as Skrein did, Miller still thinks he's "uncanny" since he is able to pick up things in no time at all.

"He has, like, photographic reflexes or something. We'd have the stunt guys do stuff and then I'd have Ryan come in and do a take or two, and I've almost always ended up using Ryan's takes. He can learn choreography in seconds," he said.

Miller is also appreciative of the fact that his stars aren't difficult to work with, and that they are actually eager to do a lot of the stunts.

"We shot a fight in a warehouse where for Ryan it was six hours in make-up and then a 16-hour day, and he never complained. Ed was the same way," he added.
