DEADPOOL 2 Concept Art Features An Unexpected Mutant Tim Miller Was Planning To Include
This latest concept art for Deadpool 2 reveals that original director Tim Miller was planning to include an unexpected mutant in the sequel who would have undergone a pretty radical redesign. Take a look!
If you're not a massive X-Men fan, you may not have heard of Blaquesmith but he's someone who has a pretty long history with Cable and is another mutant who hails from the future. He's a character who has flirted with villainy now and again (he once tried to kill Cyclops, for example) but more often than not ends up on the side of angels. However, Tim Miller clearly had something very different in mind.
The director - who ended up not helming Deadpool 2 after creative differences with Ryan Reynolds - clearly wanted to ditch Blaquesmith's Moiloid appearance and instead wanted to give the character a more grounded look. It also appears as if he would have just been another prison escapee (rather than a time-traveller), possibly taking on a Juggernaut style role and serving as an antagonist of sorts here.
Anyway check out the concept art below and let us know your thoughts in the comments section.
