eadpool director Tim Miller has dropped out of the film sequel’s production due to "creative differences" with the lead, Ryan Reynolds.
According to The Wrap, the disagreement between the two reportedly arose due to Miller’s vision of creating a more "stylized sequel", while Reynolds prefers to focus on "the raunchy comedy style".

The actor is said to have the power to push his own vision following a new deal that gives him "creative control", which also includes casting approval; in addition to a lot of money, of course.
Released earlier this year, Deadpool grossed over US$782 million worldwide on its $58 million production budget. The film's success has opened the door for other R-rated superhero movies. One of them is the third installment of Wolverine franchise titled Logan (2017), which is set to deliver R-rated content. (fmn/kes)
