Hype is at an all time high for “Deadpool 2” but it seems that the film is having a tough time getting off the ground. “Deadpool” director Tim Miller recently exited the film due to creative differences with Ryan Reynolds, and the search for a new director is ongoing.

Now another key figure who worked on the first film has announced that he is leaving as well. Composer Junkie XL, who scored the first film, revealed on Twitter that he has decided not to score the sequel, and he cited Tim Miller’s departure as his reason for leaving.
He posted the following on Twitter:
Dear friends,
It is with a heavy heart that I have decided not to score the upcoming Deadpool movie. I love this character and creating his and the movie’s original score was a monumental chapter in my life, personally and professionally.
Since it was revealed that Deadpool’s brilliant creative director Tim Miller will not be involved in the project anymore, I have undertaken some soul searching. Tim was the driving force behind Deadpool and me getting involved in this amazing project. Deadpool without Time at the helm just does not sit right with me and that is why I have decided not to be involved with the second chapter.
It was a difficult decision, as I love the project so much and I know how eagerly the next installment will be anticipated, it’s hard to walk away from something so unique, but it also has to feel right.
Hope everyone understands. Onward and upward.
Love,
Tom
