After months of casting rumours, director changes and Josh Brolin workout posts on Instagram, Deadpool 2 finally started shooting this week.

 

The sun sets on day 1. Feels good to be back. This dog can hunt.

And as such we can expect regular activity on Ryan Reynolds' social media channels between now and the movie's release date of June 18th 2018. 

The latest post sees Hunt for Wilderpeople star Julian Dennison get shown the ropes on set by Deadpool himself. What better way to get him up to speed than with a piggyback?

We guess we can take this as official confirmation that Dennison has joined the cast of Deadpool 2? He'll fit right in. He is a real bad egg after all. 

The post is of course reminiscent of Daisy Ridley and Mark Hamill's post from the set of The Last Jedi.
