‘Deadpool 2’ gets new director

Following the departure of Tim Miller from the upcoming Deadpool sequel, rumour was John Wick director David Leitch will be taking the reins. Now, Variety has confirmed that Leitch will be taking Miller’s place after the director dropped out due to creative differences with star Ryan Reynolds. Miller’s exit on October 22 came as a surprise as he had been in the middle of developing the script and was widely expected to return for Deadpool 2.

Most of the creative team, though, is returning for the sequel including screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. But there is no release date yet for the movie. Fox has supposedly also started development work for the third Deadpool movie but nothing has been confirmed about that yet.
