Earlier this week, the FOX-owned network FX announced they had cancelled Donald Glover’s animated Deadpool series following “creative differences”.

“Due to creative differences, FX, Donald Glover, Stephen Glover and Marvel Television have agreed to part ways on Marvel’s Deadpool animated series,” a statement from the network reads.

“FX will no longer be involved with the project. FX and Marvel have an ongoing relationship through our partnership on Legion, which will continue.”

Many publications went on to speculate that Glover was too busy to write the show, considering the filmmaker already acts as showrunner on Atlanta, has a role in the upcoming Han Solo movie, and performs as the artist Childish Gambino.

However, Glover has now denied those claims, posted a brief message on Twitter: “For the record: I wasn’t too busy to work on Deadpool.”

Rather than just post a quick Tweet, though, Glover then began posting pages from an episode of Deadpool: The Animated Series titled “Finale”, written by himself and featuring timely references about the show’s cancellation, Bitcoin, and Donald Trump’s call for teachers to have guns in schools. Read the entire thing below.

Perhaps the most notable and timely part of the script comes a couple of pages in when Deadpool jokes that “Sanaa Lathan bit Beyoncé’s face!”

Tiffany Haddish recently revealed that an unnamed “actress” bit the famous musician’s face, many people speculating that Sanaa Lathan was the culprit — something she has denied.

It seems as though Glover wrote the script directly after the cancellation, with multiple references to the show being ‘too black’ and the metaphor of the last white rhino – who Deadpool also refers to as a dinosaur – throughout.

Meanwhile, there’s no news on whether another network will pick up the series. Glover fans can currently catch the actor in the new series of Atlanta on FX.
