Daniel Scheinert who is best known for working with fellow director Dan Kwan known as DANIELS, the duo had an opportunity to meet with producers that could have led to them directing this film. Since director David Leitch ended up being at the helm of the comic book sequel, While making the publicity rounds for The Death of Dick Long (watch the trailer here), Daniel Scheinert talked about passing up a meeting with 20th Century Fox to direct Deadpool 2. Scheinert explained to IndieWire: "My dad was so upset that we didn't take the meeting for 'Deadpool 2.' I'm sure they took meetings with tons of people. But we were like, 'We're not right for that,' and didn't take the meeting. Dan and I legitimately think we'd do a bad job on that kind of movie at this point in our careers. Directing's really hard, but if you're really passionate about it, it's worthwhile to follow your impulses -- whereas trying to continue a franchise or punch up someone's script, or diving into some IP is a really challenging thing. It's not us being like, 'Ooh, we're original filmmakers.' We're just trying to be self-aware about what we're good at." To be clear, DANIELS said that they "weren't even offered" Deadpool 2. But it still takes a keen sense of self-awareness to turn down a potentially career-changing opportunity like that meeting. You can't help but respect the fact that they both know their limits as filmmakers right now and know exactly the kind of movies they want to make. While DANIELS has the kind of dark but comedic storytelling sensibilities that would serve Deadpool well, there have to be some indie filmmakers out there who don't make the leap to studio blockbusters, all so we can keep getting movies like Swiss Army Man and The Death of Dick Long. Scheinert confirmed as much: "Obviously, when it comes to someone else's material, I'm attracted to things like death of 'Dick Long,' not 'Deadpool.'"

When the power-dampener collar is on in prison, Wade's cancer comes back with a vengeance. He's constantly vomiting, coughing, and barely able to walk. Although not explicitly stated in the first movie, Wade's regenerative powers keep his cancer in check, but the disease is too far advanced to be completely cured. His body constantly fights it, but the cancer grows back at the same rate, so when his regeneration is temporarily halted, the cancer symptoms immediately resume again.

White and Grey morality; Colossus's arc in the film seems to be learning that things are not as simple as his "The Paragon/Idealistic" idea of being a hero seems to be. Deadpool points out how unrealistic this kind of heroism really is and manages to get him to fight dirty during his battle with Juggernaut (to impressive effect) and even gets him to swear as a last request from a dying Deadpool.
