Fans were ecstatic as they glimpsed at the leaked materials for "Deadpool," but it was revealed that only 70% of the disclosed content was used.

According to a report by IGN, only a part of the leaked material was used in the movie according to writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. It was also revealed that the earlier script of the "Deadpool" movie had a lot more gun power than actual superhero combat. The outlet said that director Tim Miller decided to alter "the fighting itself."

When asked if they were bothered by the leaks, the two stated that they don't mind it and were happy that it was well-received by the fans. The movie was greenlighted by 20th Century Fox after test footage of Ryan Reynolds in motion-capture made rounds on the internet last year. Along with "Deadpool" actor Ryan Reynolds who has been pushing for the "Merc With a Mouth" movie, James Cameron and David Fincher also put in a good word which helped in bringing the film forward.

According to Miller, Deadpool is pansexual and can be attracted to anyone regardless of gender or gender identity when asked if Deadpool will be "hypersexualized" in the movie. Reynolds goes on to explain that while there is sexuality in the upcoming movie, their misgivings were decreased as they haven't received any complaints from the studio.

"There is some sexuality in this movie for sure. You kinda think you have moments when you're shooting where you think, "This is, uh, a little excessive. This is a comic book movie. Are we gonna get away with this?" But so far so good," Reynolds explained, in a joint interview with Miller to Collider. "Studio hasn't crushed us with anything. They were here yesterday, they were thrilled, they saw some cut footage and so far so good. We did a photo shoot for an entire day of just different, completely insane things that Deadpool is doing and there's a lot more to come. They'll be slowly released."

Deadpool's pansexuality was confirmed by the character's co-creator, Fabian Nicieza. He answered a fan question on Twitter about the character's sexuality.

Miller shared that Reynold is very similar to his character, Deadpool.

"His humor is the same as Deadpool. He's just as immature on a daily basis (LAUGHS) as Deadpool is in the film... It makes me laugh! He's filthy. He's so nasty," he said, as reported by Daily Mail.

The outlet also stated that the muscle suit of his costume had to be removed because he buffed up for the role.

"[We] put him in the costume and it looked too big, so we dropped all the muscle suit and that's all 100 percent USDA Ryan Reynolds underneath," Miller shared.

"Deadpool" will be on theaters on Feb. 12, 2016
