“Once a director is found, he or she will no doubt go over whatever draft of the script is most current and, depending on how flexible Fox is willing to be with the start-date, begin to inject his or her own ideas for the film. That necessitates rewriting, and then the director has to assemble a behind-the-scenes team, so that includes getting a production designer to start creating sets to be built and a costume designer to start visualizing how the various characters will be brought to life. Again, this is not something that can be rushed and done and ready to roll in two months, so despite what some other headlines might be telling you, Deadpool 2 is not filming in January.”
Er is op dit moment ook nog geen regisseur gevonden voor Deadpool 2, al schijnt het dat acteur Ryan Reynolds en Fox drie kandidaten hebben. Dit zijn David Leitch, Drew Goddard en Magnus Martens. Vermoedelijk volgt een beslissing snel.
