Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige said recently that the next “Deadpool” film will be R-rated and part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, bringing fans back to a much-cherished comic book story from 20th Century Fox.
Ryan Reynolds, who plays Deadpool, celebrated the news with an Instagram post. But he cracked a joke about a Disney character that might make you want to roll your eyes.
- “First order of business: Find the guy who killed Bambi’s mom. #Deadpool3,” he wrote.
Any casual Disney fan knows that Bambi’s mother was killed in the 1942 film “Bambi,” which set off the chain of events featured in the film. People often deem Bambi’s mother’s death as one of the saddest moments in Disney — if not movie — history.
According to HuffPost, there’s a deleted scene from “Deadpool 2” where Deadpool goes after baby Hitler, so it’s not like the superhero character hasn’t gone after historic villains in the past.
