      Deadpool director Tim Miller and the movie's star, Ryan Reynolds, teamed up for the most financially successful film ever shot in Vancouver.

      But according to a Deadline Hollywood story, they won't be working together on the sequel featuring the snarky superhero.

      "I’ve confirmed from studio insiders this exit was over mutual creative differences," wrote Mike Fleming Jr., "but this all ended amicably and the studio is very high on Miller and the expectation is the filmmaker will jump right into another big Fox project: Influx, an adaptation of the David Suarez novel that has a Mark Bomback script and is expected to launch a film trilogy."

      Miller was reportedly working on a script but he hadn't yet been signed by Fox to direct Deadpool 2, which is expected to be released in 2018.

      According to Box Office Mojo, Deadpool generated (US)$782.6 million in domestic and international receipts. That means it topped $1 billion in Canadian currency.

      It's the largest-grossing R-rated movie in history. And here in Vancouver where the film was shot, Deadpool injected $40 million into the local economy.

      Reynolds is from Vancouver.
