Trivia: A promotional poster for the PG-13 version of this film (Once Upon a Deadpool) was released as a parody of a painting commissioned by the LDS church called "The Second Coming."

Trivia: Ryan Reynolds donated $5,000 to the defense fund of a theater in Salt Lake City that was fined for showing this movie.

A U.S. district judge ruled that the law violated the theater's freedom of speech and ordered the state to pay them $474,000. In response to the fine, Reynolds tweeted "Thank god, they've found a way to legislate fun."

Trivia: When the Daily Bugle is shown with the main article of Morbius being apprehended for murder, in the top right corner of the paper you can read "Black Cat: Friend or Foe?"

This could be Sony planting the seeds of bringing the character to screen, or it may just be an Easter egg.
