Says Ryan Reynolds: Last News

Zack Sharf T.J. Miller starred as the bartender Weasel in the first two “Deadpool” movies, where he often sparred onscreen with co-star Ryan Reynolds. But Miller said on a recent episode of “The Adam Carolla Show” (via Entertainment Weekly) that he doesn’t think Reynolds likes him and therefore the two won’t be working together again. Not that Miller would likely return in the upcoming third “Deadpool” movie. The actor was accused of sexual assault in 2017 and arrested in 2018 for allegedly making a fake bomb threat on an Amtrak train. Prosecutors eventually dismissed the case. Miller was also accused in 2018 of bullying his “Silicon Valley” co-star Alice Wetterlund on set, which he denied.

As we all know by now, “Deadpool & Wolverine,” set for July 26, is Marvel Studios only film for 2024. Speaking at a Morgan Stanley event yesterday, Disney Chief Bob Iger predicted the film will be “one of the most successful Marvel movies we’ve had in a long time.” Clearly, the hype for the film is rising.

One of the most annoying things one hears as a news reporter, or at least one of the most cynical and ignorantly flippant things, is how actors only do jobs for money. I.e., when Hugh Jackman finally agreed to return as Wolverine/Logan in “Deadpool 3,” it was because they finally decided to pay him the dump truck of money he always wanted and was holding out for.
