Deadpool & Wolverine’s hilarious final battle featured countless Deadpool variants spilling out from The Void to stop the original Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) and Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) from disrupting Cassandra Nova’s (Emma Corrin) villainous plans. Alongside the now iconic Ladypool (played by Blake Lively),the scene featured some bizarre alternate versions of Deadpool, with some hailing from Rob Liefeld’sDeadpoolcomics and others from the minds of Reynolds, Jackman, and director Shawn Levy. However, newly released concept art has revealed the bizarre variant that was sadly cut from the final film.
Concept artist David Masson shared the insane hybrid Deadpool variant onInstagram. The unique hero blends costume elements from both of the movie’s titular heroes, culminating in the “Wolverinepool.” Aside from the floating head variant, most of the alternative Deadpools inDeadpool & Wolverineonly feature slight variations on the character’s classic costume.The Wolverinepool might be the most unique variant, but sadly, it didn’t make the final cut.

Most recently, Wesley Burt shared alternate costumes for Emma Corrin’s Cassandra Nova onX. The drawings played with different costume styles, ranging from baggy, flowing trenchcoats to a cargo pants and vest look (reminiscent of Lara Croft).
