Deadpool’s Creator Responded To The New Trailer’s Hilarious Feet Joke

Fans of «Deadpool» movies might remember that this isn’t the first time the films have foot-themed fun at Rob Liefeld’s expense. In «Deadpool 2,» Deadpool finds it difficult to appreciate Domino’s (Zazie Beetz) luck-based powers, and since Domino also happens to be one of Liefield’s co-creations, the Merc with a Mouth immediately starts snarking about her power set sounding like someone with foot-drawing difficulties invented it.

As with «Deadpool & Wolverine,» Liefeld permitted Ryan Reynolds to use the joke. «Ryan calls me and says, ‘Rob, we have this joke, I wanna run it by you. Please share me your thoughts,’» the artist told Inverse. «I said, ‘Ryan, I absolutely love it.’»

According to director Shawn Levy, «Deadpool & Wolverine» is not what Marvel fans think, in that it’s not so much a «Deadpool 3» as it is its own thing. However, the return of Liefeld jokes is a pretty strong indicator that the movie fully intends to keep the «Deadpool» films’ irreverent spirit alive.
