"Deadpool" movie creators were reportedly threatened when "Avengers" came out.

In an interview with Collider, screenwriters Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese explained how they proceeded with the Marvel character's solo film after the success of the "Avengers."

"One of the lowest moments was when we turned in the script on the day 'Avengers' came out, a Friday, and [it made] over 200 and some million dollars opening weekend," Rhett Reese recalled.

"We got the word on Monday morning that Fox, given the success of The Avengers, was going to rethink Deadpool possibly within the context of an ensemble as opposed to by himself."

"We just went, 'Ugh!' so that was a low moment," he narrated about "Deadpool" supposedly just being part of a bigger Marvel movie, instead of having a solo film.

According to a report from Inverse, the team behind the "Deadpool" movie admitted that following "Avengers" meant they have big shoes to fill. However, director Tim Miller and his team were reportedly motivated to push through with the movie after being encouraged by movie veterans James Cameron and David Fincher.

"We had some angels on our shoulder too, this movie had some very quiet unsung heroes," Rhett Reese continued.

"One of them was Jim Cameron, who's a friend of Tim Miller, and read the script at a key moment a few years back. He said he would read it and we were like, [Sarcastically] 'Oh yeah, he will read it.'"

"But he literally read it that night and got back to us the next morning. He went to [Fox Chairman and CEO] Jim Gianopulos and he got it on the radar in a really big way," Rhett Reese shared.

Scriptwriter David Fincher also reportedly helped the "Deadpool" movie team amid pressure from "Avengers" success.

"David Fincher was another guy who was a big help for us, he's also a friend of Tim's, and he loved the script and he pushed forward with the executives at certain key moments," Rhett Reese said.

"Having guys like Fincher and Cameron pushing certainly didn't hurt and we very well might not be sitting here if it hadn't been for those two guys."
