The X-Men film franchise has mastered the art of keeping fans buzzing via social media, by taking the stick away from would-be paparazzi and controlling the stream of behind-the-scenes and set photos that hit the Web. Case in point: Deadpool 2, which is currently in production over in Canada.

We just got done sharing a BTS photo of the sequel’s first day of production, as well as a scene of Deadpool/Wade Wilson crashing a child’s birthday party; now we have a new set of photos that feature Deadpool rocking civilian clothes, even as he finds himself in the midst of another violent encounter.
While these new photos aren’t as a exciting as seeing Deadpool lounging outside the X-Men Mansion, they do help to show that Deadpool 2 will still retain the comedic irreverence of the first film – while amping up the level of crazy, action, and crazy action to the next level.
They’re also a nice light hearted touch for Marvel/X-Men fans everywhere – so let’s keep them coming!
NEW!
