‘Deadpool’ star T.J. Miller says he won’t work with Ryan Reynolds again because he was ‘horrifically’ mean to him on set
- T.J. Miller discussed his “Deadpool” costar Ryan Reynolds on “The Adam Carolla Show” Wednesday.
- Miller alleged that Reynolds treated him like his character, Weasel, and was “horrifically mean.”
Comedian T.J. Miller appeared on “The Adam Carolla Show” podcast Wednesday and said that he won’t be working with his “Deadpool” costar Ryan Reynolds any time soon. According to Miller, the two fell out after a “weird” incident on set.
“Would I work with him again? No, I would not work with him again,” Miller told Carolla.
Miller, who plays Weasel in the “Deadpool” franchise, alleged that Reynolds called him by his character’s name while filming the first “Deadpool,” which was released in 2016.
“We had a really weird moment on ‘Deadpool’ where he said, ‘Let’s do one more take.’ And then as the character, he was horrifically mean to me as if I’m Weasel,” the comedian shared. “So he was like, ‘You know what’s great about you, Weasel? You’re not the star, but you do just enough exposition so that it’s funny, and then we can leave and get back to the real movie.'”
Miller admits it was “not a great experience” and claims other members of the crew were unsure how to respond to Reynolds during the alleged incident.
“I think it’s weird that he hates me,” the actor shared.
Since then, they’ve continued to grow distant, Miller continued. “I got along with him a lot better on the first ‘Deadpool’ because he wasn’t a huge, huge movie star,” Miller revealed.
Though Miller didn’t confirm, the “Silicon Valley” actor implied he was not asked to return for the next movie in the “Deadpool” franchise. “Deadpool 3” is set to come out in 2024 and is the first installment set within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Miller went on to call Reynolds “kind of an insecure dude,” and insisted he would not have agreed to star in “Deadpool 3” even if they paid him “twice as much.”
“I think he should make a ‘Deadpool 3’ and continue to make movies. I just think he doesn’t like me, and I thought it was weird how he expressed that. I’m at a place in my life where I don’t need to do ‘Deadpool 3,'” Miller shared.
Representatives for Miller and Reynolds did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment.
Miller has also been on the receiving end of misconduct allegations in recent years. In 2017, Miller was accused of sexual assault by an anonymous woman he dated in college, according to The Daily Beast. He has since denied the allegations.
In 2018, Miller’s “Silicon Valley” costar Alice Wetterlund called him a “bully and petulant brat” on Twitter. Wetterlund also claimed the all-male environment enabled his alleged behavior in her tweet.
