Infinity War Almost Had More Characters? Major Deadpool Star Gone and More! – ComicCorp News

‘Infinity War’ Almost Included Other Characters – Well, chalk this up as the #1 Reason why shared universes between movie and t.v. is basically impossible to maintain.  Apparently there was a consideration to bring the Netflix four-some to the film, albeit briefly.  According to Anthony Russo, they discussed this idea, saying;

We made the briefest consideration of [including TV characters in Infinity War].  When we’re alone in a room with [screenwriters Christopher] Markus and [Stephen] McFeely, we consider every idea. We like thinking of everything. But it seemed like the story that had been told within the movies was so specific and elaborate already that once we started working through the story, we knew we had our hands full just with this set of characters and narratives.

They declined the idea ultimately due to the massive amount of characters they already had to use and cut.

Quick Hits – Last night’s ‘Arrow’ episode “Docket No. 11-19-41-73” was a reference to the Green Arrow’s first appearance in “More Fun Comics #73” which was published on November 19th, 1941.   Ryan Reynolds confirms that troubled actor TJ Miller will not be back for a third Deadpool film.    New rumors have emerged that seemingly suggest an Arkahm-style Superman game is in the works.
