More details are coming out on why the Deadpool animated series was cancelled.
Two days ago saw Donald Glover deny rumors he was too busy to do the show, which saw him release a âscriptâ blaming Marvel TV.
A scene in the script saw Deadpool wondering why the series was cancelled, where the Merc With The Mouth remarked, âNoooooo. The Taylor Swift episode? Nah. No. They had to have loved that script.â
It actually turns out that Marvel didnât love the script (Deadpool was being saracastic above) as Donaldâs Glover brother who was also developing the series, Stephen, tweeted out, âThere definitely was a Taylor Swift episode It was HILARIOUS. And it was definitely the last straw lol.âÂ
Itâs not known what the Taylor Swift episode was about, but Stephen Glover continued, ââOur show wasnât too black. It wasnât really that black at all. But we definitely wanted to give Rick and Morty a run for their money, and I think we would have. Proud of the gang.âÂ
It seems Marvel TV got cold feet about the Deadpool animated series and felt it was too risky.
The script written by Donald Glover also remarked about Marvel having enough feel-good minority shows.
âIt just feel like everyone wants something different, but no one want to do anything different to get it. Doesnât Marvel have enough feel-good minority shows everyone supports but doesnât watch? I mean, I think our show woulda been funny. I just wanted a place to be honest. (tearing up) And I guess that place is Freeform.â
