"for the record: i wasnt too busy to work on deadpool," tweeted Glover, who rarely tweets, in addressing rumors (http://variety.com/2018/tv/news/deadpool-donald-glover-animated-series-fx-1202735795/) that he might have been too busy to work on Marvel's Deadpool series. Glover then proceeded to send out numerous tweets of images of the FXX Deadpool animated series script titled "Finale." FX announced over the weekend that it was not proceeding with Deadpool "due to creative differences" with Marvel. In the script, Glover rips Marvel through the voice of Deadpool (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/donald-glover-rips-marvel-deadpool-script-exiting-animated-series-1098000), hinting that racism might've caused the rift. "Do you think they cancelled the show... cause of racism?!" says Deadpool, adding: "All the writers were black. And the references were pretty black too. I heard they went over the lunch budget ordering Jamaican food at least once a week."

The tweet thread that Glover posted early this morning "was a remarkable way to shed a light upon industry drama that does not often reach social media, a public statement in the form of a puzzle in the form of a script that both confounded and intrigued his fans," says Jonah Engel Bromwich. Meanwhile, FX says Glover's recent New Yorker interview (https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/03/05/donald-glover-cant-save-you) had nothing to with the project's demise. An FX spokesperson said the network supported Glover, but Marvel decided to go in a different direction.

If Marvel wants to keep churning out new series and movies, it needs to make bold moves, says Liz Shannon Miller. But with Glover's mock script, we now know that Marvel is even protective of its most rebellious character. "Donald and Stephen Glover had clearly aimed to challenge the status quo with their take on Deadpool, she says, and the fact that it didn’t fly with Marvel is worth noting."

The animation company Titmouse posted its animated footage using Ryan Reynolds' dialogue from his Deadpool movie, which Glover and FX rejected (https://io9.gizmodo.com/rejected-test-footage-for-fxs-deadpool-show-offers-a-lo-1824210296). The Deadpool series was supposed to be animated by the company behind Archer.
