The Deadpool red band trailer was finally released to the public last night, after debuting at Comic-Con: International, but fans were actually present in Hall H for the initial debut may have noticed a few things were missing.

Speaking to Empire, director Tim Miller explained what happened to those deleted scenes:

"The Comic-Con trailer was a little bit longer. This version had to be shorter, for whatever reason, so the things that got taken out were a couple of real in-joke things that, again, wouldn't necessarily play to a general audience. Stan Lee was in the Comic-Con trailer, and there was another shot with Rob Liefeld, Deadpool's creator. Those moments were for the Comic-Con fans. It went over so well at Comic-Con. Everybody there was so primed to like this film. It didn't go to my head at all. I came out just thinking, 'F***, now we really have to deliver!' We were kind of under the radar before, at least within Fox. That's all over now..."
