As someone who had been part of the years-long process towards getting Wade Wilson’s solo adventure to the big screen, Miller’s departure came as a surprise to many, but nonetheless, 20th Century Fox moved quickly to find someone to take his spot for Deadpool 2.
Several candidates had been reported on, but now it’s official: John Wick director David Leitch has been brought aboard as Miller’s replacement.
A few weeks ago, it was announced that Deadppol director Tim Miller would not return for the sequel due to creative differences.
