- Miller says his Deadpool directing fee, while sounding like a lot, is not actually 'a ton of money' for two years of work, earning less than an episode of The Walking Dead.
- Despite the massive $750 million box office success of the original Deadpool film, Miller claims the industry still underpays first-time directors, wanting to 'sound grateful' even when the pay doesn't match the project's impact.
