TJ Miller Reignites Beef By Claiming 'Deadpool' Success Made Ryan Reynolds A 'Different Person'

Miller, who previously stated that he would 'never' work with Reynolds again after the pair starred in 'Deadpool' and 'Deadpool 2' together, claimed on the 'Help! with Natalie Cuomo' podcast that Reynolds changed between the films.

Stand-up comic and actor TJ Miller reignited his beef with his Deadpool costar and title character Ryan Reynolds.

In a 2022 interview, Miller, who played Deadpool's sidekick and arms dealer Weasel in the first two Deadpool films, said he "would not work with [Reynolds] again" after a "really weird moment" on the set of the 2016 Marvel film.


Reynolds later claimed he and Miller "hashed it out."

Yet unresolved resentment was evident when Miller revisited his Deadpool experience in the Help! with Natalie Cuomo podcast in advance of the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine, which Miller is not a part of.

Miller claimed Reynolds was a "different person" in Deadpool 2, following the astronomical success of its predecessor that catapulted Reynolds into superstardom.


"That's just a different guy," Miller told Cuomo, adding:

"A guy that's become that famous in a movie that is that funny, it just kinda changes people you know?"

Miller, who is known for playing Erlich Bachman in the Max sitcom Silicon Valley and voicing characters in Big Hero 6 and The Emoji Movie, mentioned Reynolds wasn't a very well-known actor before the first Deadpool movie.

He explained:

"When something becomes super successful, people get really famous and things get really weird–that's what happened from 'Deadpool 1' to 'Deadpool 2.'"
"You first had Ryan Reynolds, everyone knew who he was but he had a lot of movies that were failures or just didn't do that well."
"'Deadpool' was a real long shot for him and so 'Deadpool 2' he was a different person. That's just a different guy."

In contrast, Miller said of his experience after Deadpool's box office success:

"I don't think it really changed me at all because I was always a nihilist and always kind of, you know, didn't give a f'k."

Fans of Reynolds were quick to point out many of his earlier Hollywood successes before becoming the Marvel antihero.

Before starring as the titular character in 2016's Deadpool, Reynolds, 47, became a household name starring in films encompassing many genres like the comedy filmsNational Lampoon's Van Wilder (2002) and The Proposal (2009); action films like Blade: Trinity (2004) and Green Lantern (2011); and dramatic roles like Buried (2010).

Miller was confronted for his unpopular opinion of Reynolds.












Miller previously mentioned his opposition to working with Reynolds in the Adam Corolla Podcast in 2022.

"Would I work with him again? No, I would not work with him again," Miller told Corrolla.

"But I've said that about Michael Bay and now we're friends, and I would work with him again. But I think Michael Bay is different."

Miller's suspicion that Reynolds "hates him" stemmed from an uncomfortable on-set interaction between the two.

Miller recalled:

"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."

He continued:

"He was like, 'you know what's great about you, Weasel?"
"You're not the star, but you do just enough exposition so that it's funny, and then we can leave and get back to the real movie.'"

He added:

"I would not have done Deadpool 3 if they came to me and were like, ‘we want you to do Deadpool 3, and we're going to pay you twice as much'."

People continued noting Miller didn't have much of a case here.









Miller did acknowledge that Reynolds was a "great improviser" and the better comedian.

When Reynolds caught wind of Miller airing his grievances about him, Reynolds reportedly chalked it up to "a misunderstanding."

Miller later said in a different interview:

"It was very cool for him to say 'hey, you know, I just heard on the show that you were upset about this.'"
"And I kind of said, 'you know, I'm not' and then we sort of just hashed it out really quickly."

He and Reynolds may have buried the hatchet but left the handle sticking out.

Deadpool & Wolverine will hit theaters on July 23, 2024, and will be the 34th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and sequel to Deadpool and Deadpool 2.
