'Deadpool' sequel loses director Tim Miller
The next installment of "Deadpool" will take on a decidedly different feel with the departure of director Tim Miller.
Over the weekend, Deadline reported that a series of creative differences between Miller and star Ryan Reynolds has led to the director's exit from the upcoming sequel.
The original "Deadpool" grossed $728 million worldwide and became the highest grossing R-rated film and the biggest grossing "X-Men" film.
It also marked Miller's directorial debut.
Despite the setback, Miller is set to jump into another Fox project "Influx," an adaptation of the Daniel Suarez novel that will become a film trilogy.
"Deadpool 2" is expected to hit theaters on January 12, 2018.
