Deadpool 2: 12 Questions We Still Have

8. Will T.J. Miller Be Written Out?

With T.J. Miller seemingly firebombing his own career in recent months with a string of legal issues, will his character Weasel be written out of the franchise?

Prediction: This is an interesting one, because Ryan Reynolds has already gone on the record to state that Miller won't be returning for the X-Force movie, but at the same time, it would've been incredibly tight schedule-wise for Weasel's death to be added in reshoots, given how recently the scandals began to pick up traction.

What's perhaps more likely is that Weasel is killed off-screen in the movie and Deadpool makes a joke about it, perhaps even just straight-up telling the audience in a post-credits scene, "Oh yeah, remember Weasel? Yeah he died. Let's move on."

Then again, nothing would be lost by keeping Weasel alive and just recasting him for X-Force, giving Reynolds and co. ammunition to make wise-cracks about his changing appearance (or better yet, having numerous actors play him throughout the film and playing it totally deadpan).
