If the image released by "Deadpool" star Ryan Reynolds to celebrate Mother's Day did a solid job of delivering the Merc's trademark humor, his follow-up may be what sells fans on the Fox film's action bonafides.

While Reynolds' previous 'Pool-themed photo teases appear to have been staged for social media, the motion-capture dots surrounding the mask's eye holes indicate this is actually taken on set, in mid-action.

"Deadpool" hits theaters on February 12, 2016.
