Enligt regissören och författarna var det en prank:
[Director] David Leitch says the basic concept of killing off these characters right away was to “fuck with the audience through Deadpool’s lens”, and co-writer Rhett Reese adds that they actually shot additional scenes with the X-Force team for trailers, just to throw off the audience:
“One of the things we did, we asked the actors if they’d be willing to shoot extra footage – that indicated they were in more of the movie than we were actually going to use them in. So, Terry Crews and Bill Skarsgård and these guys all went out back in front of a green screen and did a bunch of fighting with stuntmen. And you see it in trailers. You see Bedlam kicking ass. They all stayed an extra half day to do that. It was awesome.”
"När de kom för att vi sköt ytterligare material som vi visste att vi bara skulle lägga in släpvagnar som aldrig skulle vara i filmen", säger David Leitch. "Det handlade om att spela en prank som bara Deadpool skulle göra. Ryan når ut från skärmen och kittlar dig. "
