Miller said that he “got along with him a lot better on the first Deadpool because he wasn’t a huge, huge movie star.” However, due to the enormous success of the franchise, the actor saw changes in Ryan. T.J. Miller still admires Ryan as a great comic actor, but he is not willing to work with him again.
He said, “Would I work with him again? No, I would not work with him again. But I’ve said that about Michael Bay, and now we’re friends, and I would work with him again. But I think Michael Bay is different.”
Next, he narrated an incident during the shoot of Deadpool that took him by surprise. In the podcast, he said that he wishes well for Reynolds, “because he’s so good at Deadpool, and I think it’s weird that he hates me.” In Deadpool, Ryan sketched a verbally savage character.

“It Was Not A Great Experience”: The Actor Recounted An Incident On The Sets Of Deadpool
Carolla asked the T.J. Miller star why he thought that Ryan hated him. In response, he recounted an incident from the sets of ‘Deadpool’.
He narrated, “We had a really weird moment on Deadpool where he said, ‘Let’s do one more take.’ And then as the character, he was horrifically mean to me as if I’m Weasel. So he was like, ‘You know what’s great about you, Weasel? You’re not the star, but you do just enough exposition so that it’s funny, and then we can leave and get back to the real movie.'”
T.J. Miller shared his feelings post the incident. He continued, “But that’s what’s weird about him, and I’ve met other people who can confirm this. And he did that and it was weird, and it didn’t bother me, but … I just kind of listened, and thought it was weird, and then I got off stage because they were like, ‘Cut…?'” The crew was also shocked seeing Reynolds’ behavior, “Everybody was like, ‘What the f**k is he doing?’ So that was not a great experience for me.”
