The marketing for this movie has been top notch, ever since the first red band trailer. Having Ryan Reynolds himself help with the Honest Trailer for his own movie is more proof of that

'Deadpool 2' Loses Director Tim Miller Over Creative Differences

 

The director has parted ways with the studio over what insiders say are creative differences between him and Ryan Reynolds, the actor who plays the titular Marvel character.

 

 

Tim Miller, who directed Deadpool and had a hand in giving Fox its biggest hit of the year, will not direct Deadpool 2.

 

The director has parted ways with the studio over what insiders say are creative differences between him and Ryan Reynolds, the actor who plays the titular Marvel character.

 

Deadpool made $786 million worldwide when it opened on Valentines Day this year, launching a new franchise for the studio. The movie re-energized Reynolds' career but also began a second act for Miller, a visual-effects specialist who founded Blur Studio and made a name for himself making video game trailers and opening credits.

 

By all accounts, the movie's success was truly shared by Reynolds, who helped define the voice of the character for screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, as well as Miller. In fact, Miller is believed to be the one who leaked Deadpool test footage into the wilds of the internet, with the ensuing enthusiastic reaction being just what was needed to ensure that Fox, which was waffling over whether or not to make the movie, gave it the green light.

 

Even before the movies opening, the gang was back together plotting the sequel. Deadpool 2 is in the casting stages and is in the middle of testing six actresses for the part of Domino, the projects new female lead.

 

Sources say Reynolds and Miller had increasingly butted heads over certain creative issues. Reynolds was a producer on the original, along with Simon Kinberg and Lauren Shuler Donner, but sources say his clout has increased exponentially on the sequel.

 

Fox says the parting of ways is amicable and is already jumping hand-in-hand with Miller into another project, Influx, the adaptation of a science fiction novel by Daniel Suarez.

I think Reynolds is too invested to let it fail

 

Can't blame him...dude finally found his role. I have to imagine that [as an action star] you do all these shitty movies, trying to find which one will fit you as an actor...and when you finally find your John Wick, or your Wolverine, or your Deadpool...you want to hold on to that as closely as possible...

 

The very fact that he chose to reprise the Deadpool role from that shitty Wolverine movie, is probably a testament to the fact that he knew that was the role he was meant to have. Most people would have said "holy shit...that was a disaster..."

Yeah, also they played this at the beginning instead of an after credits scene. So anyone planning to watch Logan soon, save yourselves the ten minutes lol.
