Tim Miller, a visual effects artist who made his debut as a film director on "Deadpool," will no longer direct the sequel after differences with Deadpool himself, Canadian actor and producer, Ryan Reynolds.
Reynolds and Miller were reported to part ways due to their contentious creative disagreements, which included an argument to which style should be incorporated best in the movie.
While there's no official release date yet, reports say that the American director was all set with making the film. Meanwhile, Reynolds, 40, whose talent agency have recently renegotiated his contract as a co-producer and star of this movie apparently has different plans in mind.
Miller allegedly wanted a "stylized" version of this comic adaptation while the actor-producer who plays the title role would like the film to retain its "raunchy comedy" and, probably, its R-rating,
Alleged differences as to who plays the role of Cable also come into play. The director wanted to cast Kyle Martin Chandler as Nathan Dayspring Askani'son Summers, born to Cyclops and Jean Grey's clone, Madelyn Pryor. Reynolds might be considering someone else.
In this issue between the two key players in the movie, 20th Century Fox apparently green-lit the actor's plan and described the split between producer and director as amicable.
While who gets to direct the sequel, now being tagged as the "Cable and Deadpool" movie, auditions are ongoing. This includes testing ten actresses for the role of Domino, Cable's X-men lover and confidante.
The list includes Canadian actress Mackenzie Davis from "Halt and Catch Fire," ex-MT VJ Ruby Rose from "Orange Is the New Black," "Baywatch"'s Kelly Rohrbach, and American actress Lizzy Caplan from "Masters of Sex."
Miller will still be working for 20th Century Fox with the movie adaptation of "Influx", a cyber-thriller penned by Daniel Suarez.
