DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE Concept Art Reveals Initial Plans For Daredevil, Ghost Rider, Dinopool & More Variants

An awesome new piece of Deadpool & Wolverine concept art has surfaced, confirming plans to use a few more variants in the final battle, which seems like it was considerably more wild at one point.

Deadpool & Wolverine is now officially part of the billion-dollar club and, with the spoiler embargo lifted, many of the artists that worked on the acclaimed Marvel Studios blockbuster have been sharing amazing concept art from the film, including this latest piece from Rodney Fuentebella, who confirms plans for a slightly different, albeit equally epic, finale.

It looks like the Shawn Levy-directed film always planned on coming to a close with Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) and Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) taking on the Deadpool Corps in a bloody balls to the wall battle, but it seems like an earlier version of the script would have given the duo some major backup.

In the film, Wade and Logan join the Resistance, which consists of X-23 (Dafne Keen), Elektra (Jennifer Garner), Blade (Wesley Snipes), Gambit (Channing Tatum), and, prior to his unpreventable demise, Johnny Storm (Chris Evans).

Thanks to the new art, we now have confirmation that both Daredevil (Ben Affleck) and Ghost Rider (Nicolas Cage) were indeed supposed to join them, along with a very much alive Human Torch, and that the whole Resistance would have fought the Deadpool Corps - including Dinopool(!) - in what appears to be the Void rather than on Earth-10005.

Reynolds recently revealed that Ghost Rider was discussed, telling Collider, "Yes. Came to a conversation for sure. Yeah, but no.,” while writers Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese revealed plans for the original Daredevil, "Did we want to get Ben [Affleck]? We never asked Ben though, I don’t think. At some point, Ben was on the list. Ben was on the list, but I don’t think it ever came into script pages or actually asking him."

Unfortunately, talks fell through for one reason or another, but with the Resistance alive and well, it seems like there'll be ample opportunities in the future for more familiar faces to pop in and out of the MCU.

In our review, we said, "Deadpool & Wolverine is the ultimate Marvel movie, a non-stop blockbuster entertainer with a heart of red and gold. Ryan Reynolds is truly Marvel Jesus, breathing new life into the MCU and resurrecting the X-Man himself Hugh Jackman for one of the most wildly enjoyable comic book movies ever, with both delivering all-time performances that will go down in the CBM history books. Don’t head to the theater expecting answers about the future of the X-Men in the MCU or any of the larger ramifications on the Sacred Timeline, just walk in expecting a good time with Deadpool and Wolverine - maybe grab a popcorn bucket - and, trust me, you’ll walk out extremely happy."

Shawn Levy directs “Deadpool & Wolverine,” which stars Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Emma Corrin, Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney, Leslie Uggams, Karan Soni, and Matthew Macfadyen.

Kevin Feige, Ryan Reynolds, Shawn Levy and Lauren Shuler Donner produce with Louis D’Esposito, Wendy Jacobson, Mary McLaglen, Josh McLaglen, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, George Dewey and Simon Kinberg serving as executive producers. “Deadpool & Wolverine” is written by Ryan Reynolds & Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick & Zeb Wells & Shawn Levy.

Marvel Studios’ “Deadpool & Wolverine” delivers the ultimate team-up throwdown on July 26.

You're a poor sport Ben affleck! Cage too....

Or maybe the Flash scarred them so bad they refused to return for CBM cameos lol

LlamaLord - 8/13/2024, 11:57 AM

@TheClungerine - What? They never even asked him...It's literally in the article.

TheClungerine - 8/13/2024, 1:11 PM

@LlamaLord - lmao I didn't even read that bit, I went straight to the tweet 😂

TheClungerine - 8/13/2024, 1:14 PM

Love Nic Cage but the Agents of Shield fan in me wanted Robbie Reyes to return...even though absolutely no one would've cared outside of AOS fans.

TheVisionary25 - 8/13/2024, 11:58 AM

@Himura - I hope we get it in Secret Wars!!.

Imagine him ,Cage’s GR and the Carter Slade version riding together on Battleworld.

HeavyMetal4Life - 8/13/2024, 12:18 PM

@Himura - yeah, if we are to get Ghost Rider again, I want to see the best version of Ghost Rider!

TheVisionary25 - 8/13/2024, 12:32 PM

@HeavyMetal4Life - I kinda enjoy Cage’s Johnny but Robbie is by far the best one we have had so far.

Shmokey20 - 8/13/2024, 1:00 PM

@HeavyMetal4Life - Robbie is the Perfect MCU Ghost Rider!

Himura - 8/13/2024, 1:22 PM

@TheVisionary25 - All these gifs are making me want to rewatch the show now...

HeavyMetal4Life - 8/13/2024, 2:26 PM

@TheVisionary25 - just perfection. Everything about him was awesome, especially the visuals.

HeavyMetal4Life - 8/13/2024, 2:27 PM

@Himura -

Would have been cool to see them. Maybe they’re being saved for Secret Wars.

TheVisionary25 - 8/13/2024, 12:17 PM

Damn , that would have been crazy but I’m fine with what we ultimately got for the most part..

Seeing the likes of Wade and Logan interact with Affleck’s DD & Cage’s Ghost Rider could have been fun but oh well (the concept art itself is surreal enough).

Also [frick] yeah to Dinopool , should have done it even though it would have added to the budget.

SonOfAGif - 8/13/2024, 1:24 PM

As exciting as this would have been, Save it for Secret Wars. When you start diluting the magic of Multiversal crossovers it doesn't seem interesting when the big crossover happens. Give us little tastes of what's to come but don't oversell it in the smaller movies before the ensemble films have a chance to really explore the magic.

ComicBookSon - 8/13/2024, 2:04 PM

Daredevil would have been awesome, but having Elektra was satisfying enough. Ghost Rider would have been cool too but it doesn't make or break it. I think the biggest miss was not bringing back Thomas Jane's Punisher.

ObserverIO - 8/13/2024, 4:21 PM

This image is the coolest thing I have ever been hyperbolic about in my entire life!

Blade, Elektra, Mattfleck! Nic Cage Ghost Rider! Human Torch, the Deadpool Corps, Dinopool! Kidpool even has his/her fckin lightsabers!!!!!!! [frick] my nanny this is cool.

So did they almost copy the endgame final battle sequence and decided it was enough mocking and to be original? Cause they messed up on that part imo. Already joked around with them up to the point, might as well but anyways. Still love the movie though.
