T.J. Miller says Ryan Reynolds reached out to him over misunderstood Deadpool comments

T.J. Miller appeared in the first two Deadpool movies as Weasel, the owner and bartender of Sister Margaret’s School for Wayward Children. But after a series of controversies and serious allegations, it became clear that Miller likely wouldn’t be back for Deadpool 3. T.J. Miller also recently made waves when he appeared on an episode of The Adam Carolla Show podcast and related an uncomfortable experience he had on the set of Deadpool in which Ryan Reynolds was “horrifically mean” to him. He added that he “would not work with [Reynolds] again… I think it’s weird that he hates me.“

It seems that T.J. Miller and Ryan Reynolds have since cleared the air. The comedian was a guest on SiriusXM’s Jim Norton & Sam Roberts show and said that Reynolds had contacted him to straighten things out. “It was a misunderstanding,” Miller said. “So I emailed him back, and now it’s fine… It was very cool for him to say, ‘Hey, you know, I just heard on the show that you were upset about this.’ And I kind of said, ‘You know, I’m not,’ and then we sort of just hashed it out really quickly.” Miller added that he “didn’t think I had said anything that was that negative” and feels bad that his statements were “misconstrued” by the media.

He is so funny, which I always maintained, and he is so amazing in those movies and so that was kind of it, you know? It’s so funny. I said all of these complimentary things and none of that shows up.

As for Deadpool 3, it was announced last month that Ryan Reynolds had managed to convince Hugh Jackman to play Wolverine one more time, something Reynolds is very excited about. “I couldn’t be more excited,” Reynolds gushed. “I mean, especially to do it this way. Ultimately, I get to work with some of my closest friends in the world and that doesn’t happen every day working in this business. I’m thrilled and I’ve been sitting on those couple of teasers for a few weeks now. It’s one of those moments where you’re hitting send or a tweet or a post – your hand is shaking when you’re messing with the zeitgeist in a way like that.” The third Deadpool movie is set to hit theaters on November 8th, 2024.
