Tim Miller Leaves Production of “Deadpool” Sequel

Since it’s release on Valentines Day 2016, Deadpool is the super hero movie that’s delighted all comic book fans. Despite it’s low budget and R-Rating, Deadpool successfully reigned in over $782 million worldwide and broke numerous box office records, including becoming the seventh highest-grossing film of 2016, the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time (when un-adjusted for inflation), and the highest-grossing X-Men film. It’s a hell of an achievement for a movie that began production in 2004 and kept being placed in Production Hell.

So it’s understandable that fans were shocked and upset when Tim Miller, director of this highly overachieving movie, announced he’d be leaving the production on Deadpool 2.

Tim Miller cited his reasons for leaving as creative differences with leading man Ryan Reynolds (The Proposal, Buried, R.I.P.D). This split was said to be a very mutual and amicable split between the two, but of course this comes to a massive blow to fans of the original hilarious, fourth-wall-breaking, R-Rated fest that was Deadpool.

Fans have been quick to share their reactions across Twitter;

Including Guardian’s of the Galaxy director James Gunn;

However, Deadpool fans should remain optimistic. While Tim Miller may no longer be directing, Ryan Reynolds is still very much on board production-wise, as he was last time. He loves and understands the character extremely well, and clearly has a lot of passion for the movies he’s creating for Deadpool. Hopefully soon, he will find a director who he agrees with on the direction of Wade Wilson’s story, and there will be crisp high-five’s all around.

Deadpool 2 is currently in production, and on schedule for release in 2018 at this time.

Is Deadpool 2 On The Way And Will It Feature The X-Men?

The internet literally went into meltdown yesterday when Ryan Reynolds shared a potential poster for the sequel to Deadpool, unsurprisingly called Deadpool 2. You would think that the brains behind the first Marvel film to give fans what it actually wants and to break the fourth wall and blur the lines between reality and fiction, would give us a more original title.

Why did the internet go into meltdown you ask and you may be thinking I’m missing a key peice of information, but be patient here readers!

The reason why the internet literally flipped it’s nut is because of one thing! X-Men, yes X-Men, no not those guys from Game Of Thrones who have had thier winkies chopped off, yes winkies. I’m talking about the endless army of mutants spearheaded by the brainy Professer Charles Xavier and kickass Wolverine (Sorry Cyclops, Storm and Jean Grey you just don’t cut the mustard for me).

Now picture this Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool and Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, sound good? I know, we had X-Men Origins: Wolverine but to be honest that sucked! Yes it did, I mean when Will.I.Am is the best part about a film featuring Weapon X oops I mean Deadpool and Wolverine you know that it’ll suck more than me with a super sour chew bar.

So are the rumours true? Is Deadpool 2 on the way? Well yes and no, yes it is true Deadpool 2 is coming out soon, but will the x-Men feature at the moment, sadly no, as the poster was actually a fan made poster and not an official one.

Who would you like to see in Deadpool 2? Mine own personal choice would be Gambit but not the Channing Tatum one!

Deadpool 2 To Start Filming Early 2017

During an appearance at the Saturn awards Producer of the first Deadpool film Simon Kinberg revealed to Collider that the filming of Deadpool 2 is likely to start early next year (2017). This makes perfect sense due to the sequels release dates rumoured to be March 2018 despite the film being given a larger budget than the first it appears that it will still be a lean production so a year should be the right amount of time for Tim Miller to finish filming.

The sequel has a lot to live up to due to the immensely successful outing of box office hit of the first film. Other details of the sequel have been pretty much non existent but it would be surprising if T.J. Miller, Morena Baccarin, Stefan Kapicic, and Brianna Hildebrand would turn down the chance to return for the sequel. What we do know about the sequel is that we will see the first appearance of Cable as teased at the end of the first Deadpool film, actors who have already expressed a public interest in the role range from Ron Perlman (My personal favourite) to Dolph Lundgren.

I for one cannot wait to hear more details regarding this film and as most people are touting the first Deadpool film as one of the best films released in 2016 could we see Deadpool 2 be the highest grossing R-rated film of 2018.

‘X-Force’ Is Ryan Reynolds Next Passion Project

With Deadpool garnering critical and commercial success, it seems a no-brainer that 20th Century Fox would move ahead with the R-Rated Superhero genre, so it shouldn’t come as that much of a surprise that Deadpool 2 is reported as being greenlit already.

A source out of The Hollywood Reporter confirms that Ryan Reynolds Merc-With-A-Mouth will go into production without Director Tim Miller at its helm but thats not to say that the team of Miller, and writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick won’t remain together as Fox are keen to keep the three men involved.

As Miller, Reese and Wernick prepare for Deadpool 2, the man himself did reveal recently that an X-Factor film is high on his list as the next comic adaption he wants to get off the ground: “In the future, I think, if we’re doing a bunch more Deadpool movies, we’re gonna really explore the X-Men a lot,” Reynolds quip , adding, “And maybe X-Force. X-Force my priority. I really want to get that in.“

Much like the Deadpool movie, the X-Force comics had a far mature tone than is expected from Marvel with various incarnations of the team dealing with Mutant threats with extreme force. Incidentally at one point Wolverine headed up the team that consisted of Deadpool, Psylocke and Archangel, characters that have all been introduced into the 20th Century Fox Mutant universe. Although Hugh Jackman has gone on record as saying that his time with the Mutant franchise will soon be at an end, maybe a new spin-off franchise might change his mind.

After all, if Reynolds can get a Deadpool movie onto the big screen, maybe a Jackman-Reynolds X-Force movie doesn’t sound all that unrealistic.

Deadpool hits UK Theatres this week.
