Ryan Reynolds had been championing Deadpool for nearly a decade by the time the movie got the green light, but Tim Miller had been attached for a very long time as well.
Reportedly, Tim Miller wanted to cast Kyle Chandler, but Ryan Reynolds and Fox weren’t on board with the idea.
I’m not gonna go and sit with Tim Miller and say, ‘The visual effects of Deadpool need to be done this way.’
No matter what, Deadpool 2 is happening and it will have to align with Ryan Reynolds’ vision.
