New concept art for Deadpool and Wolverine reveals that other Marvel variants and cameos were originally planned for the film – including Dinopool and Daredevil.
Rodney Fuentebella shared the image on his Instagramwriting, “Here’s an early concept I did for the Marvel Studios Deadpool and Wolverine movie. It was in the early stages of making the movie, so a lot has changed, but I wanted to show how epic and awesome this movie could be at the time I had a blast creating all the interactions between our heroes and the variations of Deadpool.”
Among those variants is the Deadpool Dinosaur, AKA Dinopool, a scaly variant that we didn’t get to see in the final cut. While the version of the fight scene we see in the film simply sees the eponymous duo face off against the variants after escaping the Void in an extended fight scene, the concept art features a few more familiar faces joining 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 version in any capacity – Ben Affleck and Nicolas Cage’s versions of the characters, we’d imagine.
