Donald Glover’s Leaked ‘Deadpool’ TV Script Asks if The Show Was Canceled Due to ‘Racism’

Date:

Donald Glover told his fans in a series of tweets early on Tuesday morning that he was not too busy to work on the now-canceled Deadpool TV series. On Twitter Glover included a 15-page script for the FX series that made references as to why he believes the show was canceled.

“You know, I’m not mad about this whole ‘cancelled’ thing,” Deadpool says in the script. “I mean, is it even a good time to have a violent, gun-loving white man ranting on TV? Other than the PRESIDENT?” As he speculates on why the show was canned, he first suggests it wouldn’t sell toys, before wondering aloud: “Do you think they canceled the show… cause of racism?! Yeah, but all the writers were black. And the references were pretty black too. … Maybe we were alienating our white audience? No. We did a whole goat yoga episode. Damn.”

“Due to creative differences, FX, Donald Glover, Stephen Glover and Marvel Television have agreed to part ways on Marvel’s ‘Deadpool‘ animated series,” the cabler said in a statement. “FX will no longer be involved with the project. FX and Marvel have an ongoing relationship through our partnership on ‘Legion,’ which will continue.”

The Glover brothers were hired to write, executive produce and act as showrunners on the animated comedy-series that was being developed in Atlanta, Georgia and intended to launch later this year on FXX. In May 2017, the network ordered the series for a 10-episode first season.
