Deadpool & Wolverine is coming out soon and fans are wondering if TJ Miller’s character, Weasel, will return in the movie. The upcoming Marvel movie is highly anticipated, and fans are eager to witness the new storyline and characters. However, there is curiosity surrounding whether TJ Miller will reprise his role in Deadpool 3. So, read on if you’re looking for the answers.
Will TJ Miller come back as Weasel in Deadpool 3?
No, TJ Miller will not be returning as Weasel for Deadpool and Wolverine.
Miller’s character was first introduced in Deadpool (2016), where he portrayed the titular character’s best friend and sidekick. Weasel’s journey continues in the second chapter of the movie, where he becomes part of Deadpool’s team.
Why TJ Miller is not returning in Deadpool & Wolverine?
TJ Miller will not reprise his role in Deadpool & Wolverine. Previously, it was reported that there was an issue between Ryan Reynolds and Miller while filming the Deadpool movies. Miller stated on The Adam Carolla Show that he believed that Reynolds intensely disliked him. Further, he also expressed his disinterest in doing Deadpool 3. However, as per The Hollywood Reporter, Miller stated in a later interview that he had cleared the issue up with Reynolds and that it centered around “a misunderstanding.”
Miller’s absence from the sequel is also likely related to his involvement in a sexual assault scandal.
In the wake of the #MeToo movement in 2017, a woman from Miller’s college years at George Washington University allegedly accused him of sexually assaulting her. In an interview with the Daily Beast, she revealed that during their intimate encounter, he did a lot of things to her without her consent.
She said, “He choke[d] me, and I kept staring at his face hoping he would see that I was afraid and [that he] would stop… I couldn’t say anything.” Additionally, it was also reported that he shook her violently and even punched her.
Following the surfaced allegations, Miller addressed the claims and denied them all.
The statement reads, “Sadly she is now using the current climate to bandwagon and launch these false accusations again. It is unfortunate that she is choosing this route as it undermines the important movement to make women feel safe coming forward about legitimate claims against real known predators.”
As per Deadline, Miller was also charged with making a “false 911 call” in 2018, though the charges were later dropped. In the wake of the scandals, Miller has had a lower profile in Hollywood and hasn’t appeared in any movies or TV shows since 2020.
