Having been an unexpected hit early this year, "Deadpool" feature-length film adaptation of the Marvel Comics original was able to fill the gap of what's been missing in the X-Men film franchise. The Merc With A Mouth character originally cast Ryan Reynolds playing the part in Gavin Hood's X-Men Origins: Wolverine and later adapting the "Deadpool" name, expressing faith in the original comic book material.
What began as an artsy project between the first-time director Tim Miller and the actor Ryan Reynolds eventually became a well-loved superhero film. "Deadpool" box office draw even reflects the same positive notes it gained from critics.
For a film as successful as this as "Deadpool," it's hard to believe that anyone in its production team wouldn't want to do a sequel. However, just a few weeks ago, its director Tim Miller called it quits over "creative differences" with his main actor, Ryan Reynolds.
As if that's not enough to bring a blow to the sequel's production, its original composer Tom Holkenborg, commonly known as Junkie XL, also threw his arms up, citing how a "Deadpool" film without Miller just "doesn't sit right" for him. In the Facebook post shown below, Holkenborg says that it was a "difficult decision" for him.
Famous for scoring the recent phenomenal hit film "Mad Max," Junkie XL is also set to score the upcoming "Justice League" movie. According to The Wrap, rumors have risen about why the creative differences between Miller and Reynolds arose, with the possible casting of Kyle Chandler as Cable.
Budget concerns are also indicated as a source of disparity, with fingers pointed at Miller for trying to create a more polished film in the big-budget superhero film tradition. According to Box Office Mojo, the first "Deadpool "film had a starting production budget of about $58 million, earning $782 million globally.
