'Deadpool 2' release date news, rumors: 'John Wick' director David Leitch to replace Tim Miller

Deadpool 20th Century Fox

Box office hit "Deadpool" made plenty of Marvel fans laugh when it was released earlier this year, and now avid fans of the "Merc with a Mouth" are getting hyped over the upcoming sequel "Deadpool 2."

Thanks to "Deadpool" director Tim Miller, the superhero film garnered around $760 million USD when it was released earlier this year. Miller's rendition of the superhero movie has gained positive reviews from its comedy and action-filled plot that starred Ryan Reynolds as the violent and foul-mouthed superhero.

However, despite the success of "Deadpool," Tim Miller will not be returning as the director for the superhero movie's sequel, "Deadpool 2." It is said that Tim Miller will be departing from the production of "Deadpool 2" due to conflicts with actor/producer Ryan Reynolds.

"Deadpool 2" will be coming back with some new faces, and one controversial "Deadpool 2" character is named Cable. Cable's character has become infamous since it was said to be the reason why director Tim Miller will not be working with Ryan Reynolds for "Deadpool 2."

Apparently, the "Deadpool" director and producer had conflicts when it came to hiring actors for the role of Cable, hence Miller's departure from the sequel.

On another note, recent speculation suggests that "Deadpool 2" producer Ryan Reynolds is currently looking at "John Wick" director co-director David Leitch as a proper replacement for Tim Miller.

But Leitch is not the only one on the list of potential directors for the "Deadpool" sequel. Other possible directors include "The Cabin in the Woods" director Drew Goddard and Marvel's "Luke Cage" director Magnus Martens.

Furthermore, the recent title for the sequel — "Deadpool: Love Machine" — might be replaced soon since Tim Miller has left the "Deadpool 2" crew behind. But even if the title changes, it is still rumored that the upcoming "Deadpool 2" movie will possibly feature a love triangle between "Deadpool" himself, Vanessa, and Domino.
