Thanks to Just Jared, fans have gotten a new look at Deadpool in action. The site snapped photos of a stunt sequence being filmed for Deadpool 2 that can be found here. The pictures show Deadpool suited up in his red-and-black suit like normal, but he is also dangling high above the ground. The mercenary is strapped into a parachute harness that’s gotten stuck on what appears to be an amusement park sign.
There is no telling whether the man donning Deadpool’s suit is Ryan Reynolds or a stunt man; However, it would be a safe bet to side with the second option. Earlier this year, Reynolds to Empire Magazine he was taking a step back from doing stunts himself thanks previous on-set injuries.

“I’ve had some bad injuries doing stunts.” Reynolds revealed. “I broke a couple of vertebrae in my neck. It was a bad situation. I remember the doctor sitting in the office – it was about the seventh time I had been there that year – and he writes on a prescription pad, rips off the note and it reads ‘Stuntman’. Point taken. So now I use four different guys that come with me.”
Fans are certainly enjoying the stunt photos regardless of whose in the Deadpool suit, and they hope more set pictures are to come. Reynolds just shared the official first-look at Deadpool 2‘s Domino on Twitter, so fans should keep up with social media as production progresses. If there was anyway a photo of Josh Brolin as Cable were to go live, it would be thanks to Reynold’s love of hashtags.
