Tim Miller shockingly reveals whooping amount he earned from ‘Deadpool’

Tim Miller has shared insights into the profit that he earned after directing Deadpool in 2016.

During an interview with Collider, the American director candidly talked about his experience as a filmmaker.

“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,” Miller began.

Recalling directing the first Deadpool for 20th Century Fox, the director continued, “I got $225,000 to direct Deadpool. I know it sounds like a lot of money, but for two years of work, that’s not a ton of money.”

Moreover, Miller mention his profitable zombie series The Walking Dead and said, “Not that I’m not grateful, I’m f****** grateful, that’s the way it is because you’re supposed to when you’re a first-time director.”

“My agent said ‘Dude, you make more on an episode of The Walking Dead!’ I think a lot of people think that everyone’s getting paid millions and millions in Hollywood. It’s just not the case, not always.”

Before concluding, he said, “I don’t want to sound like I wasn’t grateful because I had worked, I was 50 when I got a chance to direct Deadpool, and I really thought I wasn’t going to get a chance to direct a movie even though I’d wanted to my whole life.”

For those unversed, the first two movies of the Deadpool franchise were released by 20th Century Fox. Later, Deadpool’s character integrated into Marvel Cinematic Universe as the company was acquired by Walt Disney in March 20, 2019.
