Dead Pool.
A revelation that would change everything

However, the plot took a dark turn when Colossus was killed, sending Deadpool into a state of uncontrolled rage, while Madonna’s “Like a Prayer” played in the background, in an epic revenge sequence.
“I had Like a prayer in the lead for the third film Dead Pool since 2017,” commented Reynolds. “Before Wolverine came into the equation, it was going to be pretty much the same sequence I imagined, except my dance partner would be Colossus. He would have died in the previous scene, throwing Deadpool into a state of pure rage and vengeance… all to the tune of the inspired and unique song by [Madonna], Like a prayer”.
The addition of Jackman changed the course of the film
Against Hugh Jackman confirms his return as Wolverinethe script of the 3rd chapter has undergone significant changes. The entrance of the iconic mutant not only saved Colossus’ life, but also took the film in an entirely different direction, uniting Wade and Logan in an epic sacrifice to save not only the universe, but the Multiverse.

Reynolds’ idea was to use Madonna’s iconic song to encapsulate Deadpool’s moment of fury and grief following the death of his partner. However, although the plot changed, the song was not discarded. Instead of accompanying a tragedy, it now resonates in the epic scene in which Apparently Deadpool and Wolverine sacrifice themselves to protect Earth-10005 and the Multiverse.
The decision to keep the song reflects the irreverent and, at the same time, emotional tone that characterizes the films of Dead Pool. Since the first two episodes, the series has stood out for mixing humor, action and emotions in unexpected ways, and this third part will be no exception.
