'More [Money] on an Episode of The Walking Dead': Deadpool Director Reveals His Surprisingly Low Salary

The first time Deadpool appeared on the big screen was in 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine, with Ryan Reynolds playing a different Merc with a Mouth. He worked hard to get his own franchise and managed to do that with 2016's Deadpool.
The first installment of the superhero movie was a resounding success, leading to two more sequels, the latest one released this year, Deadpool & Wolverine. Each installment had a different director at the helm, starting with Tim Miller, David Leitch, and Shawn Levy, respectively. In a new interview with Collider, Miller revealed he got a shockingly low salary, despite the film's big budget and even bigger revenue.
