20th Century Fox has unleashed the first official photo of Ryan Reynolds as DEADPOOL! The comical portrait pays homage to Burt Reynolds, showing the “merc with a mouth” relaxing on a cozy bear rug in front of a fire place.
The film’s official logo and icon can also be viewed below.
Production kicked off this week in Vancouver with director Tim Miller and cast, which includes Reynolds, Morena Baccarin, T.J. Miller, Ed Skrein and Gina Carano, among others.
The film hits theaters on February 12, 2016.
So happy to be filming #Deadpool in Vancouver. I left this great city a boy… and returned, a marginally taller boy.

With great power, comes great irresponsibility. #deadpool #officialsuit @deadpoolmovie pic.twitter.com/MPM89bYz1B
