The article states that problems between Miller and Reynolds\u00a0that arose during the shooting of <strong>Deadpool<\/strong> came up again, and this time it was too much to work through.<\/p>\n<p><strong>John Wick <\/strong>does seem thematically similar enough that Leitch would be a good fit for the new job.
