As a lifelong Marvel enthusiast who has been following the shenanigans of Deadpool and Wolverine since their comic book days, I can’t help but be utterly charmed by Ryan Reynolds‘ creative antics. The idea of producing an intentionally bad movie to distract fans from the real Deadpool & Wolverine film is nothing short of ingenious!
Ever since its announcement, the upcoming Marvel film featuring Deadpool and Wolverine generated immense excitement and sparked numerous speculations. There were so many whispers about possible Deadpool 3 appearances that it became challenging to distinguish fact from fiction. It appears there was almost a strategy devised to manage the enigma surrounding the movie’s release, and if it had gone ahead, it would have resulted in an outrageous sequence – a moment Ryan Reynolds continues to express regret for not being included in the final cut of the film.
Given the sheer scale of this project, maintaining secrecy would be quite challenging. Not all films have the imaginative genius of Ryan Reynolds driving them forward. Recently, Reynolds revealed on Hot Ones that he devised a strategy to prevent spoilers for Deadpool & Wolverine, a plan so secret that not even co-star Hugh Jackman was privy to it. The concept was to create a shoddily made film, one so awful that few would want to watch it. Reynolds’ elaborate scheme also included an enormous twist: a shocking revelation that would have left audiences astounded.
The initial concept for this film involved creating a fictional movie titled “Alpha Cop,” which was deliberately of poor quality. I even designed a promotional poster – it depicted two individuals who shared a single brain, working together to form the ultimate law enforcement officer. The tagline read, “Alpha Cop: Two Minds, One Body. Total Tactics.”
From one perspective, it’s doubtful that keeping quiet about the film “Deadpool & Wolverine” would have stopped people from exploring its origins too thoroughly. Even creating marketing materials like posters or trailers could make it appear as if this was an ordinary movie. It’s uncertain whether the lead actor from “Ghosted” would have been part of this hypothetical production.
The intrigue surrounding the possibility that a Ryan Reynolds movie could hide depths unseen isn’t entirely new. A while back, there were whispers about Reynolds’ film with Michael Bay, “6 Underground,” potentially being a covert adaptation of “Thundercats.” Clearly, this wasn’t the case. However, if someone were to pique interest in a hypothetical movie called “Alpha Cop” and imply it was something else, fans might have brushed off such speculation quickly given that a similar scenario had been debunked before.
As a passionate gamer, I’d put it this way: “Back in the day, when we considered creating ‘Alpha Cop’, my team and I realized the chances of success were slim-to-none. If the truth ever leaked out before launch, all that hard work would have been for naught.”

As for leaks and whispers, countless potential cameos for Deadpool 3 were talked about at some point. However, surprisingly enough, many of the film’s key moments managed to stay under wraps, much to the delight of the leading man and producer. It seems that the Cop concept might have been a good fit after all.
It’s intriguing to ponder how events might have unfolded if the production had managed to maintain complete secrecy. Perhaps just a few individuals would catch a sneak peek of this peculiar “Alpha Cop” movie on a Thursday evening. Following the film, these excited viewers would likely share their discoveries across social media, revealing that “AC” was actually a fusion of “Deadpool” and “Wolverine.”
Leaks are a major source of concern for studios, because it’s feared that they can actually impact the box office. Hugh Jackman knows all about that. He’s mentioned the leak of X-Men: Origins – Wolverine, which was a complete cut (albeit with unfinished digital effects) leaked online just before the film’s release. Of course, there are also potential upsides, as whoever leaked the original Deadpool test footage can attest.
In a recent Instagram Story update, Reynolds hints that there are still unfulfilled aspirations regarding a project. Therefore, it’s worthwhile for us to pay extra attention to any upcoming films starring Ryan Reynolds, as they might have more layers than they initially seem.
