T. J. Miller revealed that would only appear in Deadpool 3 because of his contractual obligation.
The first Deadpool starred T. J. Miller as the Merc with a Mouth’s best friend Weasel, who ended up giving the foul-mouthed hero his superhero moniker. Two years later, T. J. Miller reprised the role in Deadpool 2, but the future of the Regenerating Degenerate’s film series has since been in question since Disney purchased 2oth Century Fox.
During an interview on The Adam Carolla Show, T. J. Miller was asked about the future of the Deadpool franchise and whether or not he is set to return as Weasel. In response, T. J. Miller stated that he would almost prefer not to see a third Deadpool film due to the potential to disappoint fans:
“To be honest, I’d almost would rather that they didn’t.”I think Deadpool 2, we knocked it out of the park. I really think it ended up being great and I was worried about that. So what if Deadpool 3 is… eh.”
T. J. Miller pointed to other instances where sequels ruined the reputation of praised comedies and feared a similar fate for Deadpool. However, T. J. Miller said he would return for a third Deadpool film if asked due to his contract:
“Of course, if they want me to do Deadpool 3, I’m going to. I’m under contract.”
