We almost had a secret Deadpool Christmas movie — and it was going to be marketed as a deliberately bad buddy cop movie to avoid leaks

• Ryan Reynolds revealed a plan to market "Deadpool & Wolverine" as a fake movie called "Alpha Cop."
• The idea was originally conceived in 2017 for a now-scrapped Deadpool Christmas movie.
• "Christmas Saves Deadpool" was ultimately scrapped in Fox's merger with Disney.

Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are on a massive promotional tour for "Deadpool & Wolverine" — but there was a chance things could have looked very different if one of Reynolds' more outlandish ideas for marketing was approved.
