Director Tim Miller Quits Deadpool 2 Over Problems with Ryan Reynolds


Deadpool director Tim Miller was reportedly working on the script for the sequel for the planned 2018 release, but according to Deadline, he is stepping out of the project over a series of creative differences with star Ryan Reynolds. Variety has a source that confirmed the news.

While Reynolds was the mastermind behind the project, Miller was also integral in making the film a huge success, leaking CGI test footage in 2014 that made a lot of fans happy. Deadpool also grossed over $780-million worldwide, and is currently the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time. Deadpool also elevated Reynolds' career to the another level. He serves as a producer for both movies.

The report says that Miller's exit was amicable, and the filmmaker has signed up on another Fox project, Influx, based on a novel by David Suarez. We'll let you know once as we learn more.

Now that Miller has walked out, who do you want to see direct Deadpool 2?
