Marvel fans unite! Ryan Reynolds has just shared a first glimpse of the upcoming Deadpool 3, and it already looks like it's going to be an epic time.
The Canadian actor, 46, took to his Instagram Stories with a picture of himself in full Deadpool costume, walking across the desert with the simple caption: "Don't blink."
While it's exciting to see him in the full guise of the smart-talking Marvel Cinematic Universe anti-hero, it was who was walking right beside him that got several fans talking.
Deadpool 3 will also feature an appearance from Hugh Jackman's gruff Logan aka Wolverine, and it looks like Logan's ditched the bicep-baring tank tops for something more colorful.
In the shot, Wolverine sports a full yellow and dark blue catsuit, similar in style to Deadpool's and closer to his initial iteration in the comic books and animated X-Men series.

A third wrote: "It's me, the 30-something Deadpool agnostic hooting and hollering over finally getting jackman shrink wrapped in the yellow spandex."
