"Deadpool 2" has reportedly lost director Tim Miller. The VFX specialist who made his directorial debut with the first movie has exited the sequel due to creative differences between him and star Ryan Reynolds who also serves as a co-producer.

Miller helped develop the script with the returning screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick for the "Deadpool" sequel. Although he was expected to return behind the lens, Deadline reports that the filmmaker hasn't officially signed a deal to helm the project.

The split is reportedly an amicable one. Upon his departure from the superhero flick, Miller is offered another big project by Fox. He is booked for "Influx", an adaptation of David Suarez's novel that has a Mark Bomback script and is expected to launch a film trilogy.
