Highlights
- Deadpool director left the sequel due to creative differences with actor

- Fans suggested Tarantino's name due to his genre-bending abilities
Fans have set-up a petition to get Quentin Tarantino onboard to direct
Deadpool 2after Tim Miller left the project. The petition which launched two days back already has more than 1,700 signatures, said
The Hollywood Reporter.
The move comes after
Deadpool director exited the sequel following alleged creative differences with actor Ryan Reynolds.
"If there was ever a chance to see Tarantino do a project almost guaranteed to make a billion dollars, this is it. 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. Join me!" writes Carl Champion Jr, who started the petition.
Later, Carl posted an update, saying that Mr Tarantino is the best choice due to his genre-bending abilities and snappy dialogue writing skills. The movie is still scheduled for January 12, 2018.
