Fox is said to be considering other replacement helmsmen too, but according to Sneider’s sources “by most accounts, 20th Century Fox has found its man.”
It’s since been expected that Fox would be quick to find a replacement for Miller, what with several actresses currently testing for the role of Domino.
He has recently branched out into movie solo directing too, having called the shots (alone) on the espionage thriller The Coldest City, starring Charlize Theron and James McAvoy.
The project has since hit a snag, with Miller having stepped down as director, reportedly over artistic differences with Reynolds (who has greater creative control on the sequel) about the approach to take on Deadpool 2.
