"Deadpool 2" is confirmed to rise in the coming year, but a conflict arose when news popped up about Tim Miller resigning from his post as the director of the upcoming film.

"Deadpool" star, Ryan Reynolds, stayed quiet about the issue until the recent interview. Reynolds mentions he is sad to see Tim Miller not being involved anymore with the "Deadpool 2" film, according to Collider. The actor praised Miller saying he is brilliant and cited that nobody worked harder than him on "Deadpool."
Tim Miller's departure from "Deadpool 2" doesn't seem dramatic due to staying with Fox. Miller is out of the "Deadpool 2" zone as the director, but it's been reported that he has moved on and now working on "Influx," the adaptation of a sci-fi novel.
Reports came out about a more detailed reason why Tim Miller departed as the director of "Deadpool 2" film. Ryan Reynolds and Tim Miller reportedly had different ideas for the sequel of "Deadpool" that made Tim resigned from his post. "Deadpool" star Ryan Reynolds only gave a vague and diplomatic answer about the creative differences him and Miller had while working on "Deadpool 2."
Ryan Reynolds started giving a better perspective of an answer about the issue by saying that the making of "Deadpool" sequel was very difficult and that the group he had worked with were the most passionate individuals he encountered. Reynolds added that the movie's success owes to the people who worked on the film with the same perspective as everybody else.

The creative differences made Tim Miller depart from "Deadpool 2." However, his departure from the sequel of "Deadpool" still means business as usual, and now Fox is on the hunt for a replacement, according to Hollywood Reporter.
