dec 26, 2024 - Deadpool Director TJ Miller Reveals Underpaid for Movie

Description:

"The sweary superhero flick was a huge hit for Marvel, earning over $782m (£624m) at the box office worldwide. Its success spawned two sequels: Deadpool 2 in 2018, and Deadpool vs Wolverine in 2024."

“You guys might not know, but it’s not really a profitable thing to be a first time director in Hollywood, and I’ll tell you exactly,” he said. “I got $225,000 (£179,550) to direct Deadpool.”

He continued: “I know it sounds like a lot of money, but for two years of work, that’s not a ton of money.”

“Not that I’m not grateful, I’m f***ing grateful, that’s the way it is because you’re supposed to when you’re a first-time director,” he said. “My agent said ‘Dude, you make more on an episode of The Walking Dead!’”
