TJ Miller claimed he would never work with Ryan Reynolds again

The actor says a 'weird moment' took place between them on set of Deadpool.

TJ Miller has said he’ll ‘never work with Ryan Reynolds again after the pair worked together on the first two Deadpool movies.

There's a reason you won't be seeing Miller in the upcoming third movie of the Deadpool franchise.

And it may have something to do with the actor - who played the role of Wade Wilson's best mate Weasel in the first two films - thinking Reynolds 'hates' him.

Miller opened up on his feelings about his co-star while on the Adam Carolla Show.

Commenting on Reynold's 'handsome face,' Miller said it was covered up in Deadpool because it meant that audiences weren’t ‘distracted’ from his comedic work by his good looks.

However, he then went on: "Then after he got super, super famous from the first Deadpool, then he, yeah, things kind of changed…"

Well, you might be wondering why things changed, so here you go.

Miller revealed: "I mean, would I work with him again? No, I would not work with him again."

Miller went on: “I sort of wish him well, because he’s so good at Deadpool. And I think it’s weird that he hates me.”

At this point, Miller was asked if he was sure that 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.”

Although, despite the awkward moment, Miller still poured praise on the star, saying he is a ‘great improviser’ and admitted that Reynolds is a better comedian than him.

Filming for Deadpool 3 was well underway until production was suspended in July earlier this year when the Screen Actors’ Guild (SAG Aftra) voted to join the ongoing industrial action in Hollywood.

While Miller isn’t returning, Reynolds' real-life pal and Marvel star Hugh Jackman joined him to tease the movie the month before production was halted.

As of yet, it’s unclear how writers will fit Logan/Wolverine into the movie.

In a clip posted to social media Ryan Reynolds said: "Hey everyone. We’re extremely sad to have missed D23, but we’ve been working very hard on the next Deadpool film for, uh, a good long while now.

"I’ve had to really search my soul on this one. His first appearance in the MCU obviously needs to feel special. We need to stay true to the character, find new depth and motivation, new meaning."

Reynolds added: "Every Deadpool needs to stand out and stand apart. It’s been an incredible challenge that has forced me to reach down deep inside, and I…I have nothing…yeah…just…completely…empty up there…and terrifying."

At the very end of the clip, Reynolds said: "But we did have one idea. Hey Hugh, you want to play Wolverine one more time?"

To which Jackman, who conveniently happened to be walking by in the background, replied: "Yeah, sure Ryan."

Deadpool 3 is currently set for release in cinemas on 3 May, 2024.
