You might have heard this week that Deadpool 3, now shooting again, has been hit by some leaks – people getting an early peek at Wade Wilson’s upcoming third outing while its creators are still busy shooting the film. Well, you won’t read about any of those here. But what you will read about is how Ryan Reynolds is combatting those leaks – by sharing his very own on social media. And in true Reynolds style, he is gloriously taking the piss on this one. In a Twitter thread, he shared a bunch of ridiculous doctored set photos, showing the likes of the Predator and Mickey Mouse crashing the set of Mr. Pool’s MCU debut.
