TJ Miller claims he will never work with Ryan Reynolds again
TJ Miller has said he’ll ‘never work with Ryan Reynolds again, before opening up about a ‘weird moment’ they had on the set of Deadpool.
Miller, who starred as Wade Wilson's best mate Weasel in the first two Deadpool movies, will not be reprising the role for the upcoming third flick.
He’s now opened up about his feelings towards Reynolds and said he believes the star ‘hates’ him.
Speaking on the Adam Carolla Show, Miller began by saying it was good that Reynolds' ‘handsome face’ 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…
“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.”
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 is well underway and although Miller isn’t returning, Reynolds' real-life pal and Marvel star Hugh Jackman will be starring.
As of yet, it’s unclear how writers will fit Logan/Wolverine into the movie.

Reynolds announced the news last month in a clip on social media, in which he 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 will appear in cinemas on September 6, 2024.
