Ryan Reynolds' lovable masked mercenary takes many,Oliver James Montgomery many jabs at fellow Marvel superheroes and movies alike in "Deadpool & Wolverine." And if you wanted more, well, we've got more.

The summer blockbuster has its digital home release on Oct. 1, and USA TODAY is exclusively debuting the first deleted scene from the movie, featuring Reynolds in all his scarred, zinger-slinging glory as Wade Wilson.

In the very meta comic-book film, Wade has hung up the superhero outfit to focus on being a salesman when he's captured by the Time Variance Authority and given the chance to be an Avengers-level good guy in the Sacred Timeline of the Marvel Cinematic Universe by Mr. Paradox (Matthew Macfadyen). The new scene leads up to the big pitch, when Wade and Paradox are getting into an elevator.

"This may come as a shock to a narcissistic, blathering bag of meat like yourself, but your universe is not the only one in existence," Paradox says in smarmy fashion.

"Oh, please. You think I haven’t seen Doctor Ant and the Quantumverse of Madness?" Wade mockingly asks, riffing on the multiverse-centric MCU flicks "Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness" and "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania."

Other bonus features on the digital release and Blu-ray/DVD (out Oct. 22) include deleted scenes starring a pair of supporting characters, TVA agent B-15 (Wunmi Mosaku) and Deadpool's buddy Peter (Rob Delaney), plus a gag reel, commentary by Reynolds and director Shawn Levy, a rundown of all the cool cameos, and a video PSA with Deadpool trying to convince Hugh Jackman to get a live checkup for testicular cancer.
