'I wish them nothing but good - I hope itвЂ™s great. And Miller has nothing but good will for the project and the studio, which is to be expected considering he's already developing his next project with Fox an adaptation of the best-selling cyber-thriller Influx. The crew was so great, everybody was going to come back and we were going to have such a good time and the idea that it was a difficult movieвЂ¦It wasnвЂ™t, it was a joy, and it was the best experience of my life.'ДЇortunately for Deadpool fans, of which Miller is one, the sequel was quick to find a promising replacement at the helm - John Wick co-director David Leitch. We had a few arguments in post, but nothing more than usual.

'Even when some people go, вЂњThe movie was really hard to make.вЂќ The movie was a joy to make.

In contrast, Miller calls it 'the best experience of my life.' Miller also fired back against the idea that the first movie was a tough shoot, likely in response to some of Reynolds' recent comments about having a 'very, very difficult' time making the movie and 'vaguely scary fights in the post-production process'. But during a wide-ranging interview on CG Garage, Miller finally spoke out about why he left the project and he made it very clear that was never the case. Deadpool was famously made on a modest budget, and some questionable reports suggested that Miller envisioned the sequel as a much bigger-budget affair. Since then, reports have floated around online that Miller and star/producer Ryan Reynolds disagreed about the scope of the sequel.

So it makes sense that 20th Century Fox charged full-speed-ahead into the sequel, but trouble quickly emerged in the pre-production process and director Tim Miller dropped off the project over creative differences. And it not only was it good, it was a huge hit, quickly becoming the highest-grossing X-Men film to date. The Merc with a Mouth finally got his big screen debut after years and years (and years and years) of determined doggedness from the creative team (and a wee bit of internet-nip leaked footage). It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
