After having reported this weekend that Tim Miller had dropped out of the sequel to "Deadpool" due to "creative difference," there is a Change.org online petition to get Quentin Tarantino to direct "Deadpool 2."

"Guardians of the Galaxy" director James Gunn has also come out and commented on the controversy regarding Miller's exit from the sequel, tweeting:
