TJ Miller says it'd be 'awesome' to do Deadpool 4 despite claim he'd never work with Ryan Reynolds again
TJ Miller has certainly left the door open to work on Deadpool 4, despite claiming he'd never work with Ryan Reynolds again.
Reynolds is Mr Deadpool, there's no doubt about that. So, if you want to work on the Marvel comedy series you'll likely be working alongside the Hollywood star.
Miller appeared as 'Weasel', Wade Wilson’s bartender best friend, in the first two Deadpool movies.
However, during an appearance on the Adam Carolla Show in 2022, Miller claimed he felt Reynolds had a dislike towards him and said he felt the success of Deadpool ‘changed’ the actor.

"Then after he got super, super famous from the first Deadpool, then he, yeah, things kind of changed…" Miller continued.
"I mean, would I work with him again? No, I would not work with him again.
"I sort of wish him well, because he’s so good at Deadpool. And I think it’s weird that he hates me."
Now, Miller has seemingly had a change of heart and said it would be 'awesome' to do a fourth instalment in the Deadpool franchise.
It's worth noting that a follow-up has not yet been confirmed.
This comes as he was noticeably absent from the cast of this year's Deadpool and Wolverine, which was a huge box-office success, making over $1.3 billion worldwide.
Speaking of Reynolds on SiriusXM’s The Bonfire, Miller said: "We talked a little while ago. I think him asking me, I think he's just been such a good friend right now that I think it would be really, I think that would be awesome."
In the original interview where Miller said he would never work with Reynolds again, he claimed the actor's 'handsome face' was covered up in Deadpool because it meant that audiences weren’t ‘distracted’ from his comedic work by his good looks.
Miller was asked on the podcast if he was sure Reynolds 'hated him', to which he replied: "We had a really weird moment on Deadpool where he said, 'Let's do one more take', but then as the character he was horrifically mean to me - but to me, as if I’m Weasel."
While that may have been awkward, Miller praised the Canadian actor by saying he's a ‘great improviser’ and admitted that Reynolds is a better comedian than him.
Reynolds never replied publicly to the comments, though Miller said on SiriusXM's Jim Norton & Sam Roberts Show that the pair are now on good terms after the Deadpool frontman reached out.
"It was really cool, he emailed me the next day," Miller said. "It was a misunderstanding, so I emailed him back and now it's, like, fine."
UNILAD has contacted representatives for Ryan Reynolds for comment.
