Deadpool 2: Fans petition for Quentin Tarantino to direct

Following the news that Tim Miller has departed the Deadpool sequel, fans are getting some big ideas as to who could replace him.

A petition is currently doing the rounds on Change.org and it seems they won't settle for anything less than Quentin Tarantino.

Miller stepped down as director of Deadpool 2 following 'creative differences' with producer and lead actor Ryan Reynolds; it's believed they had different viewpoints on who could play the film's villain, Cable (producers are reported to have wanted Friday Night Lights actor Kyle Chandler).

The petition reads: "If there was ever a chance to see Tarantino do a project almost guaranteed to make a billion dollars, this is it. We got a great taste of what this could be like in Kill Bill, but imagine having a guy like Tarantino write dialogue for The Merc with the Mouth! It would be so glorious. Join me!"

It's almost certain the petition won't be successful but we're sure if the Pulp Fiction filmmaker opted to take the directing reins from Miller, it'd be a solid iteration into his ten-film career, his most recent film, The Hateful Eight, being his eighth.

Continuing in the same adult tone as X-Men spin-off Deadpool is final Wolverine outing Logan which debuted its first trailer last week.
