Junkie XL, the music producer for the film, left following Miller's exit. He wrote a heartfelt Facebook post about his exit, saying he thought Miller was the heart and soul of the franchise:Many of the film's vital elements remain firmly in limbo. Considering the tumultuous nature of the film's development over the course of the last few weeks, it should come as no surprise that we now definitely expect delays for Deadpool 2's production.According to a brand new report from Collider, it appears that we can definitely expect some delays to the production of Deadpool 2. With Tim Miller no longer at the helm to steer the overall creative direction of the project, several vital aspects of production have been put on hold.In particular, it seems that the casting process for the female character, Domino, was well underway, but Miller's departure has brought that to a screeching halt. With Miller gone, things like set costume design have to be suspended until 20th Century Fox can find his replacement.Given these behind-the-scenes changes, the odds of Deadpool 2 actually starting production in early 2017 seem increasingly remote.
