A lot has happened in the last week or so with this much anticipated sequel.
1. Deadpool director Tim Miller dropped out of the film over creative differences between himself and Ryan Reynolds. The new rumor was Miller wanted to max out a budget, and make Deadpool 2 a tent-pole, summer blockbuster type film
http://io9.gizmodo.com/report-the-rift-that-led-to-tim-miller-leaving-deadpoo-1788208182. Reynolds supposedly wanted the film to stay grounded on the same level that brought the original so much success. The original rumor reported was the split happened out of a major disagreement on Miller pushing for Kyle Chandler (Wolf of Wall Street, Friday Night Lights) to play the next iconic marvel comic character introduced in Fox's cinematic universe, Cable
http://www.inquisitr.com/3628980/deadpool-2-cable-casting-caused-tim-miller-to-quit/. Apparently, Miller wouldn't have it any other way. Reynolds, screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, as well as Fox studios thought Chandler was the wrong fit. My guess is both stories are true. You could argue the direction of Deadpool was far inferior to the performance of Reynolds, and the script itself.
2. In the last week fans created a petition to have Quentin Tarantino direct the next Deadpool film
http://www.avclub.com/article/petition-non-violently-asks-quentin-tarantino-dire-244780. While at first glance this is a cool idea, there are a few things to consider... First, Tarantino writes his own scripts. He does not like to work off someone else's writing. So, right out the gate you lose Wernick and Reese. Second, Tarantino shoots are very dialogue strict. While I'm sure improvisation occurs on his films, there is no way I could see him allowing Reynolds to alter entire scenes of dialogue for comedic purposes like was reported to happen during the shooting of Deadpool. Lastly, Quentin's style, while splashed with bits of dry humor, is probably a little too serious for a Deadpool film. Granted, introducing Cable's overt seriousness is right up Tarantino's alley, I feel the Deadpool character is just too damn silly for Tarantino.
3. MAJOR NEWS TODAY!!! How do you feel about a Deadpool film mixed with the action choreography of John Wick? The big news today is John Wick co-director David Leitch has established himself as the front runner to land the vacant director's spot
http://screenrant.com/deadpool-2-director+david-leitch-john-wick/. Personally, I never considered this guy, but I am thoroughly excited for this potential pairing. Tightening up the gun play, especially with the introduction of Cable and Domino on the horizon, would do wonders for this franchise. I'm confident Leitch would let Reynolds do his thing. Hopefully, this news can be confirmed with a signing very soon so they can get to work finishing the script and begin filming as planned the first half of 2017.
Like I said, a lot of news, but if Leitch joins the production my hopes are higher than before Miller left.
