'Deadpool 2' Cast News: Ryan Reynolds Disappointed By Tim Miller's Exit?

"Deadpool" star Ryan Reynolds has finally broken his silence on Tim Miller's exit from "Deadpool 2."

Previous reports confirmed that the "Deadpool" director had decided to ditch the director's chair in October over mutual creative differences.

In his interview with GQ, the renowned actor expressed his disappointment over Miller's departure, especially since the director was one of the reasons behind the runaway success of the first "Deadpool" movie.

"All I can really add is that I'm sad to see him off the film. Tim's brilliant and nobody worked harder on 'Deadpool' than he did," said Reynolds.

During the interview, Reynolds revealed that the root of the tiff between him and Miller came down to the special effects.

"I know when I need to exert control, and I know when I need to let go of it. I'm not gonna go and sit with Tim Miller and say, 'The visual effects of 'Deadpool' need to be done this way," he explained.

"The man is a visual effects wizard. But there are character and tone things that I know really well. And I've also been with this thing the longest out of anybody, aside from the guys that wrote the comics," he added.

According to reports, Reynolds spent six years working on the first installment of "Deadpool." And while it remains an important passion project for him, he said he has still kept things in perspective.

"I say this with the caveat that I completely recognize the ridiculously fortunate position that I am in," he said.

Meanwhile, "John Wick 2" director David Leitch is reportedly going to replace Miller as the director of the highly anticipated Marvel sequel. The film begins filming in January.
