What's better than a Deadpool sequel? Two sequels, with different ratings, out in the same year! Once Upon A Deadpool will revisit Deadpool 2 "filtered through the prism of childlike innocence" – a.k.a. edited to fit a PG-13 rating.
Once Upon A Deadpool frames the previously explicit movie as a bedtime story Deadpool reads to Fred Savage – you know, like The Princess Bride. However, as Savage is quick to note, he's an adult man now, and the gimmick doesn't have the same heartwarming, family-friendly feeling (Deadpool has him tied up).
$1 from every Once Upon A Deadpool ticket goes to Fuck Cancer – or rather, Fudge Cancer, per a press release.
"Fox has been asking for a PG-13 basically since the start in 2006," Ryan Reynolds told Deadline. "I've said no since 2006. Now, this one time, I said 'Yes' on two conditions. First, a portion of the proceeds had to go to charity. Second, I wanted to kidnap Fred Savage. The second condition took some explaining..."
Once Upon A Deadpool hits theaters for a limited engagement starting Dec. 12.
