“Another variant that didn’t make it, Punkpool! Next i will be posting the ones that made it into the movie,” San Gabriel shared on Instagram alongside the concept art. In it, Deadpool can be seen with a mohawk, plaid pants, and enough studded clothing to make The Misfits blush. See the concept art for yourself below.
When we spoke to Liefeld at San Diego Comic-Con, the comic creator said he wasn’t surprised by how well Deadpool & Wolverine is performing at the box office.
“I knew it was gonna have a ‘2’ in it,” Liefeld said when toldย Deadpool & Wolverineย had already made $200 million on opening day. “I’ve been telling everybody, it can clear it. People are hung up on this rating. This isn’t 10 years ago … Today’s kids don’t think in PG-13 and R, and the stuff that they get online, it’s way more advanced. So our rating, let’s go, break it.”
“It’s great company to be in,” he added, referring to the other huge movies that cracked the top ten biggest openers. “They deserve it.”
