T.J. Miller wants to return to the Deadpool franchise, and now has a very different opinion of star Ryan Reynolds after previously calling him an "insecure dude" and vowing that he would "not work with him again."
Miller played Weasel in the first two movies, but allegations of sexual assault back in 2017 along with accusations of bullying one of his co-stars on the Silicon Valley TV series pretty much derailed his career.
"As the character, he was, like, horrifically mean to me. But to me. As if I'm Weasel," Miller said of his co-star in a 2022 interview. "He was like, 'You know what's great about you, Weasel? You're not the star, but you do just enough exposition that it's funny and then we can leave and get back to the real movie.'"
It seems Miller and Reynolds may have buried the hatchet, and the former is eager to be a part of a potential fourth Deadpool movie.
“We talked a little while ago,” Miller said during an appearance on SiriusXM’s The Bonfire. “I think he’s just been such a good friend right now that I think it would be really, I think [returning for ‘Deadpool 4’] would be awesome.”
Yeah... Something tells us we won't be seeing Weasel make his MCU debut anytime soon.
Miller also claims to have patched things up with director Michael Bay after reportedly getting on the wrong side of the filmmaker while shooting Transformers: Age of Extinction.
“I’m friends with Michael Bay and I think during that experience with Transformers 4, I was not sure that I would work with him again. Because I was like, this is very, well but it’s a $300 million film, so it’s not easy for anybody to make that happen, especially when it makes a billion dollars. But now I’m buddies with him enough that I would do almost anything that he wanted to do.”
The MPAA gave Deadpool and Wolverine an official R-rating for: "Strong bloody violence and language throughout, gore, and sexual references."
“Marvel Studios presents their most significant mistake to date - Deadpool & Wolverine," reads the new synopsis. "A listless Wade Wilson toils away in civilian life. His days as the morally flexible mercenary, Deadpool, behind him. When his homeworld faces an existential threat, Wade must reluctantly suit-up again with an even more reluctantlier... reluctanter? Reluctantest? He must convince a reluctant Wolverine to - F*ck. Synopses are so f*cking stupid.”
In addition to Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in the title roles, Deadpool and Wolverine will see Morena Baccarin (Vanessa), Leslie Uggams (Blind Al), Rob Delaney (Peter), Brianna Hildebrand (Negasonic Teenage Warhead) And Shioli Kutsuna (Yukio) return as their respective characters, and they'll be joined by franchise newcomers Emma Corrin (The Crown) and Matthew Macfadyen (Succession), who will play a TV agent and Charles Xavier's evil counterpart, Cassandra Nova.
Shawn Levy directs Deadpool and Wolverine from a script by Ryan Reynolds, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and Zeb Wells.
The movie is now available on Digital platform, Disney+ and DVD/Blu-ray.
