Ryan Reynolds has confirmed that production on Deadpool 3 will begin soon. However, despite the fact that Hugh Jackman will be playing Wolverine in the third Deadpool movie, T.J. Miller will not be appearing on screen with the other characters.
Miller is known for his portrayal of the character Weasel, whom he brought to life in the first two parts of the massively successful series. However, he has stated that he will no longer be working with his co-star Ryan Reynolds in the future.
When the topic of the comedian’s upcoming stand-up special, named Dear Jonah, came up on The Adam Carolla Show, he was on the program as a guest to promote it. The subject then turned to the Deadpool world.
When it was brought out that Miller had previously worked with Reynolds, Miller first stated that his wife is under the impression that Reynolds despises him.
“I could see him loathing me,” he added. “I could see him hating me.”
He went on to explain his appearance on the show Hot Ones, in which he said that it was good that Reynolds’ face was covered to play Deadpool because the actor is so good-looking that both men and women don’t want to laugh at him. He explained that he said this because both men and women don’t want to laugh at him because he is so funny.
Even though this is a backhanded compliment, it is still very much a compliment because he praised Reynolds’ humorous abilities.
“After he became super, very famous from the first Deadpool, then he, yeah, things sort of changed,” Miller said. “Then after he got super, super famous from the first Deadpool…” Would I have the opportunity to collaborate with him again? Absolutely not; I have no desire to collaborate with him again.
“That much poisonous venom?” Carolla asked.
Miller then framed his comments by claiming that he had previously stated something about the director Michael Bay, but that he now considers Bay a friend.
TJ Miller claims that there was an incident on set.
Miller told Carolla about an incident that occurred on the set in response to her question about whether or not he was certain that Ryan Reynolds disliked him.
Miller claimed that Reynolds started throwing jabs that looked to be rooted in the real world when they were filming one last take of a scene for one of the movies. Miller added that Reynolds was riffing in character while they were filming the scene.
“When I came offstage and walked over there, the entire crew was behaving in an odd manner.”
Miller went on to clarify that this was due to the fact that it was not the type of thing that would typically be done by Reynolds.
We will find out if Miller stays true to his word and opts out of Deadpool 3, or if they are able to put their differences behind them and move on.
