Taylor Swift 'Deadpool' episode was last straw

"There really was a Taylor Swift episode. It was hilarious. And it definitely was the last straw for the project, which was then taken out of the brothers' hands," Stephen tweeted, reports billboard.com.

"Our show wasn't too black. It wasn't really that black at all. But we definitely wanted to give 'Rick and Morty' a run for their money and I think we would have. Proud of the gang," he added.

Stephen's remarks follow a series of tweets from Donald revealing that he wasn't "too busy to work on 'Deadpool'", as some had suggested.

He then proceeded to tweet out page after page of the show's deeply meta script, which finds the Deadpool character wondering aloud why his animated series got scrapped. The series originally received a 10-episode straight-to-series order from FX Networks. It's still possible that another network could come in, but at this point it would seem a long shot that Glovers will have any involvement if Marvel does decide to seek out a new home.
