DEADPOOL 2 (2018): Fans Launch Petition For Quentin Tarantino To Direct Sequel

Quentin Tarantino

Online Petition Calls For Quentin Tarantino To Direct Deadpool 2

Fans are circulating a petition on the internet that seeks to make Quentin Tarantino director for the upcoming Deadpool 2.

Coming on the heels of Tim Miller‘s unexpected departure from the project, fans created a Change.org petition that suggested the Hateful Eight director would be best suited to replace him. The petition, which was launched on Sunday, has already gathered hundreds of signatures. Whether Fox executives will heed the call and hand Deadpool 2 over to Tarantino remains to be seen:

“If there was ever a chance to see Tarantino do a project almost guaranteed to make a billion dollars, this is it,” writes the petition’s creator, Carl Champion Jr. “We got a great taste of what this could be like in ‘Kill Bill,’ but imagine having a guy like Tarantino write dialogue for The Merc with the Mouth! It would be so glorious.”

As of this afternoon, nearly 950 people have agreed with him.

Miller reportedly dropped out of “Deadpool 2” on Friday, following creative differences with star Ryan Reynolds. Co-founder of the visual effects company Blur Studio, Miller was instrumental in convincing Fox to greenlight what was considered a risky film, which went on to earn $782.6 million worldwide.

It’s been suggested that the relationship between Miller and Reynolds had grown “contentious,” with the two disagreeing about the correct approach to the sequel and the casting of Cable.

**** We hired Reggie, fulfilled our obligations to him, and he quit in the middle of covering two TV series w/ no notice and no explanation. He then ignored our emails asking him to complete his coverage (we had no one else to cover those TV shows). He didn't care. We regret hiring him and we regret putting our trust in him. **** An aspiring writer, longtime film junkie, and former UCLARadio.com disc jockey (where I graduated with a BA in Political Science), I've made the jump from penning book reviews and current events editorials for HonorSociety.org to writing movie and TV news and reviews. When I'm not working towards my certificate in Radio and Television/Video Production at Fullerton College, I enjoy reading (horror, science fiction, and historical/political nonfiction are particular favorites), participating in my school's TV and theatre clubs, attending movie screenings, plays, concerts, and other events, and trying to come up with pithy things to say on social media. Believe it or not, there are occasions where I find time to write for my own leisure.
