Deadpool Director Reveals Why He Quit the Sequel

He's right to keep it the same, low budget, small scale. That's what helped make it a success. Forces them to focus on the things that matter...CHARACTER and character MOMENTS. Give in to spectacle and all will be lost.

Tim Miller wants to proove that he is a magician that can make hits with small budgets.

Fox want to create more money and dedicated followers and they know that the next step will recquire some more juice, for example they cant lose again half of the film to show the hero without super powers, more minutes of super powers mean more specials effects, which also means more money spent. The inclusion of new and more fancy super heroes, like Cable, who is a huge part of deadpool's life, would surely multiply the budget for the film, to adapt Cable on screen you need to accept a living budget devourer. Greater budget means greater expectations, more pressure, less ovations for the miracle maker director, thats why Miller left...

Ryan Reynolds is a great bloke and a superb actor.

I really enjoyed his role and the film

I think David Leitch is a better choice if not an equal one. Long as the franchise keeps moving and has directors of talent, I really don't care about the details. Just the end result. I absolutely love the movie John Wick.

Im surprised it had such a small budget, the opening scene (the chase) was pretty epic and it did look real. Didnt look cheap in any way.

Sooooo why did he quit?

"Deadpool director reveals why he quit sequel" - that title...where does he exactly reveals why he quit? He only says that " what they say in internet is not true (about him wanting to make bigger sequel) and he really looooved making Deadpool movie. That's it. This title is a trap !

God bless Ryan Reynolds. I am pumped for this movie.

@Chernnunos: Christ on a cracker, whine much?

@Chernnunos: You could...just ignore articles like this? I don't know how articles are being "shoved" in your face but if there's something I'm not interested in I don't click on it and I definitely don't leave a comment bitching about it.

To prevent more lame villains

These directors are tools. (They get paid no matte what, never risking any of their money)

Its all writing and actors. (all of which are back for the sequel)

This tool of a director didn't want to work with a big budget.

So Ryan was excited about getting more money since he risked making the first. Mean while the director who gets paid no matter what doesn't want to work hard on a bigger budget movie.

What's the issue with a movie larger in scope if it can keep the humour and pace of the original? It can be done. You don't have to compromise one for the other.

What a little bitch. If you can't handle a budget or let alone handle an uptick in budget for a more quality film then you should just stick to indie films or never make movies again. The guy just can't "play under pressure."

I don't mind bigger movie. After all, they have already used origins story in first movie (which is kind of low profile, low budget part of the movie) so sequel should have more action and less "what happened".

Deadpool does require specific approach, being merc with mouth... focus on story, characters and their interactions, dialogues. But hey, so do Spider-Man require focus on dialogues (and monologues), him also being hero with mouth... and new Homecoming seems to be on right track between Spidey's verbal abuse of adversaries, getting bruised for the very same, and high-profile action overall.

What I'm trying to say is, big budget movie does not have to be all action, none story. If done right. I only hope they will get people close to character to create good story.

Weird i had read that he actually did want a bigger more stylish movie and that was the issue. Humm who's lying.

Is it just me or Deadpool looks like he has a boner on that screen shot?
