“Deadpool” hit theaters earlier this year and the film was a huge success. It raked in a ton of cash at the box office, and the film is beloved by just about everyone who has seen it. “Deadpool 2” will be hitting the big screen at some point in the next few years, but director Tim Miller will not be part of the project. It was announced a few weeks ago that Miller had left the project due to creative differences with Ryan Reynolds.
The search for a new director is ongoing, and “John Wick” director David Leitch seems to be the favorite. The combination of Reynolds and Miller made “Deadpool” a big hit, and Reynolds recently told GQ that he was sad to see Miller go.
“All I can really add is that I’m sad to see him off the film. Tim’s brilliant and nobody worked harder on Deadpool than he did.”
Ryan Reynolds also opened up about what went wrong with the character in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” a movie that was panned by just about everyone who saw it. During the interview Reynolds noted that he wrote all of Deadpool’s dialogue for the movie.

“It was during a writers’ strike, so all my dialogue in X-Men Origins: Wolverine I wrote. I mean, in the stage directions it just said, “Deadpool shows up, talks really fast, and makes a lot of jokes.” At the beginning of that movie, that’s pretty close to Deadpool’s Wade Wilson—we’re in the ballpark with that guy. But it completely departed all canon and reason and he wound up being this abomination of Deadpool that was like Barakapool, with his mouth sewn shut and weird blades that came out of his hands and these strange tattoos and stuff like that. If you watch the movie, I’m actually playing only a small section, and another actor, this gifted stunt performer, is doing the lion’s share of that work. The conversation at the time was “If you want to play Deadpool, this is your chance to introduce him. And if you don’t want to introduce him in this fashion, we’ll have someone else play him.”
“Deadpool 2” is expected to hit theaters in 2018.
