'Deadpool 2' Latest News: Director Tim Miller Clears Rumors About His Exit From Sequel

Since Tim Miller confirmed that he wouldn't return to the director's chair for "Deadpool 2," rumors started to swirl around that the reason for his departure was a budget dispute between him and the 20th Century Fox.

This week, Tim Miller talked tried to clear up some of the misinformation going around.

According to rumors, the director wanted to make a big and stylized "Deadpool" sequel that would cost three times as much as its predecessor. During his interview with CG Garage, however, Miller denied that he wanted to create such a huge sequel.

"I just want to say one thing to the geek audience out there, because it's important to me what the geeks and nerds of the world think because they are my brothers and sisters. I didn't want to make some stylized movie that was 3 times the budget. If you read the internet--who cares, really? But for those of you who do, I wanted to make the same kind of movie that we made before because I think that's the right movie to make for the character. So don't believe what you read on the internet," he explained.

Unlike other superhero films, the first "Deadpool" movie was character-driven and smaller-scale, with no any gigantic city blocks getting demolished.

Miller also said that he hadn't met David Leitch yet, who is the new director of the sequel. Despite his exit, however, he said he wishes 20th Century Fox and all the people behind the movie nothing but the best.

"I wish them nothing but good--I hope it's great. I hope it's a great movie. Because I love the character and I think it's great, and I love all the actors and I want to see them successful again," he said.

"Deadpool 2" is expected to hit theaters in 2018.
