I wanted to do the same thing.

There is not a human being on earth that worked harder onDeadpoolthan Tim, ReynoldstoldEW of Millers departure.

Hes an incredibly, incredibly talented director.David Leitch, who co-directedJohn Wickwith Chad Stahelski, will now helmDeadpool 2.

Hes just a guy whos so muscular with his action, Reynolds noted of Leitch.

He also really understands those Deadpool sensibilities and where we need to take the franchise from here.

And I loveJohn Wick.

Deadpool 2is currently slated for a March 2, 2018 release.
