Transcripts

After teaming up in two "Deadpool" movies,  Ryan Reynolds and T.J. Miller definitely  

aren't going to work together again — so what  happened between these two former co-stars?

In 2016, Miller appeared alongside Reynolds  in the first "Deadpool" as Weasel, a bar owner  

and good friend of Wade Wilson, providing  emotional support in the first movie as  

Wade goes through a series of pretty terrible  events and takes up the mantle as Deadpool.

Miller went on to reprise his role in the 2018  sequel "Deadpool 2," but he made it very clear  

that he wouldn't participate in any sequels  . . . and he blamed it squarely on Reynolds.

In a 2022 interview with Adam  Carolla, Miller said he wouldn't  

work with Reynolds again because he was,  quote, "horrifically mean" to him on the  

set of the first "Deadpool," during  an improvised, in-character moment.

"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.'"

Ultimately, Miller concluded that his professional  

relationship with Reynolds was over  from that point on, telling Carolla,

"I would not work with him again  [...] I sort of wish him well,  

because he's so good as Deadpool, and  I think it's weird that he hates me."

Shortly after the Adam Carolla interview,  Miller sat down for a podcast with SiriusXM  

hosts Jim Norton and Sam Roberts to  clarify something important—Reynolds  

reached out to Miller and the two were  able to patch things up. Miller said,

"We sort of just hashed it out really quickly.  Again, I wasn't saying anything negative. He is  

so funny, which I always maintain, and  he's so funny in these movies. So that  

was kind of it. It's so funny; I said all these  complimentary things, and none of that shows up."

"It was—it was a misunderstanding."

At the end of the day, Miller's biggest issue  is that he didn't think his original comments  

were even that bad, but merely just a weird on-set  story he wanted to share. Miller told the hosts,

"I feel bad that it was picked up and that  it was misconstrued. For sure. But no,  

it was the next day. He and  I talked, and it's fine."

Unfortunately for Miller, this wouldn't  be his last controversy — after "Deadpool  

2," the actor and comedian faced a ton of nasty  

accusations of sexual impropriety  and more inappropriate behavior.

In 2016, Miller settled a lawsuit with the  Uber driver he allegedly attacked that year,  

and in 2017, the actor's reputation  took yet another downward turn.

At the end of that year, a woman accused Miller  of a violent sexual assault, and as a result,  

Miller was removed from the "How to Train  Your Dragon" franchise. Then, in 2019,  

he was arrested yet again for calling in  a fake bomb threat to an Amtrak train.

Before all of this happened, he was fired  from the HBO comedy "Silicon Valley," and  

creator Mike Judge later revealed that Miller  would often come to work under the influence.

These days, Miller's career is pretty  dormant, and it's honestly not hard to  

see why . . . and why he wasn't invited  to participate in "Deadpool & Wolverine."
