David Leitch may be first in line to direct "Deadpool 2"...and there may be a 3rd already in the pipeline

I was just perusing the internet and this caught my eye on The Hollywood Reporter's Heat Vision pages...well I just thought after hearing the news that Donald Trump will be running America for the next 4 years I think we are all in need of a palate cleanser...or just something to forget that America will now be run by a giant orange monster.

Anyhew...you may or may not already know that "Deadpool" director Tim Miller won't be coming back for "Deadpool 2" as of tensions boiling over about how he wanted this second film to be more stylised so as to compete with the big blockbuster franchise films but everybody concerned from Ryan Reynolds to the writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick didn't want this...and the studio agreed with Ryan Reynolds and Co...so in the end Tim Miller walked, and according an article posted on The Hollywood Reporter's Heat Vision pages on October 28th 2016 insiders say that the studio and producers have been meeting with other potential candidates such as Drew Goddard (who directed "The Cabin In The Woods") and Magnus Martens (who is just one of the directors on Netflix's "Luke Cage"), but the name that remained consistently on top of this list is David Leitch who is one half of the directing and stunt team behind "John Wick".

But according to other sources of The Hollywood Reporter it's still to early to declare Leitch as a frontrunner as other meetings are still taking place and no official offer has been made and no negotiations are underway...but according to an article posted on The Hollywood Reporter's Heat Vision pages on the 9th November 2016 it looks like David Leitch is now in negotiations to fill this directors chair that 20th Century Fox so desperately needed to fill in order to get a sequel up and running for this surprise box office hit.

And according to this same article to show how much faith the studio has in this Ryan Reynolds lead franchise, 20th Century Fox is lining up a "Deadpool 3" already, which sources say will have filmmakers readying for a storyline that will involve another X-team...X-Force.
