The latest details for "Deadpool 2" will feature the real reason for director Tim Miller's departure and Deadpool/Wolverine team-up film teased.
Director Tim Miller revealed his own reasons from his departure in "Deadpool 2" as several reports claim that Miller and film star Ryan Reynolds were not seeing eye to eye on several aspects for the sequel, such as its style, casting decisions, and more, but Miller continued to stay quiet through it all.
Reynolds recently made his thoughts known about Miller’s departure, and now the former director has broken his silence on the situation. Miller told CG Garage (via Collider) that he and Reynold's were not feuding over the style of the sequel and clears out that he did not want a movie that is three times the size of budget used in the first film.
The reason is because of the casting for mutant time traveler Cable, who was teased to join "Deadpool 2" as Miller wanted "Bloodline" star Kyle Chandler for the role, but Reynolds did not want him.
Miller went on to recount disagreements that were had during the post-production process, but said they were nothing but typical arguments. While his days involved with Deadpool seem to be behind him, he is not holding any grudges as far as he is leading on. Instead, he wishes everyone involved nothing but the best.
In other news, Reynolds clears out rumors of Wade Wilson/Deadpool appearing in the third Wolverine spin-off, "Logan" as his character will not make an appearance in the film.
This followed by the film's director James Mangold who tweeted that the publication TheWrap is dealing with "fake news".
However, Reynolds himself admitted during an interview with Entertainment Weekly that he wanted to do a film with his character Deadpool and Hugh Jackman's Wolverine as he would do whatever it takes to convince Jackman to do a Deadpool/Wolverine movie to that point that he would like is internet friends to back him up on his idea.
The "Buried" star tweeted that he wanted to do a film with Deadpool and Wolverine, just not in "Logan" as he feels that the third spin-off is unique and perfect on its own and adding Wade Wilson in it will not work.
Both Jackman and Reynolds have worked together during "X-Men Origins:Wolverine" and with "Deadpool 2" in production next year it would be an interesting take to see both X-Men characters interacting with one another knowing that there is a lot of history between them.
However, it is going to take more than that to get the "Wolverine" actor on board for such a crossover film. Even if Jackman did show his interest again in playing Logan one final, "final time", the decision would then firmly rest with 20th Century Fox, which may have other plans for the character during his post "Logan" release.
"Deadpool 2" is set to launch in cinemas on Jan. 12, 2018.
