Updated with slightly more official production photo from Ryan Reynolds himself.


Production of Deadpool 2 was announced less than two weeks ago, with star Ryan Reynolds sharing the first official set photo teasing the return of the X-Mansion in the highly anticipated sequel. While that image didn't reveal much, it did confirm our report of that filming would take place in Victoria, British Columbia. Now, however, a new batch of set photos has surfaced -- this time showing the beloved antihero crashing a kid's birthday party.

Not much is known about the sequel, directed by David Leitch (John Wick), beyond that it will mark the debut of Zazie Beetz as Domino and Josh Brolin as Cable. The film will also see Jack Kesy play the villain, widely believed to be Black Tom Cassidy.
