Donald Glover denied rumors that he was too busy to work on the series, and within a week of this announcement he wrote and released a 15-page script on his Twitter account titled "Finale". The script features Deadpool travelling to Kenya to protect the rhinoceros Sudan (who died several days earlier), and contemplating why the series was cancelled. The script was soon removed from Glover's account. In "Finale", Deadpool finds potential blame for the cancellation in comments written for the series about Marvel "trying to sell toys to 7-year-old boys and 50-year-old pedophiles"; notes the socio-political issues of depicting a "violent, gun-loving white man ranting on TV"; and suggests that Marvel and FX may have been racist in not wanting to make the series due to its all black writing staff and the black references they had been using in scripts. The latter point echoed earlier comments made by Glover that he needed a "white translator" to trick FX into allowing him and his black writing staff to make "Atlanta" the way they wanted to. Deadpool goes on to state in the script, "It just feels like everyone wants something different, but no one wants to do anything different to get it. Doesn't Marvel have enough feel-good minority shows everyone supports but doesn't watch? I mean, I think our show been funny. I just wanted a place to be honest. And I guess that place is Freeform." The script also mentioned an episode featuring Taylor Swift, which Stephen Glover confirmed existed, calling it "hilarious" and "the last straw" for Marvel. He added that the series "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." In August 2018, Landgraf was asked why FX had made the "shocking" decision to not move forward with the series, and he stated that Marvel had full control over the use of the character and decided not to pursue the version of the series that the Glovers wanted to make. Landgraf added that he had personally liked the work that the Glovers had done on the series, and that FX would have continued with that version if it was their decision. He believed that Marvel would eventually revive the series, but would "hire someone else to do a different show". Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld stated in May 2019 that a new animated series featuring the character was coming "sooner than later".
