For Deadpool fans, the news appears to be for the better, as the film’s release date has now been pushed up two weeks. While Deadpool 2 was expected to debut on June 1st, the film will now premiere on May 18th, sandwiched between the release dates of Avengers: Infinity War and Solo: A Star Wars Story.

As you’d expect, the Internet has had quite a reaction to the news, with many expressing their emotions on Twitter. Some are excited to see Ryan Reynolds’ Merc with a Mouth just a little but earlier, while others are speculating how the film will fare against Avengers: Infinity War.

Here’s a roundup of some of those tweets about Deadpool 2 getting an earlier release date.

So now we have to wait a year for The New Mutants, one of the few superhero movies I was interested in, while Deadpool 2, which I’m almost totally uninterested in, gets bumped up. pic.twitter.com/N5uozsJFTB

Oh snap, they just delayed #NewMutants almost a whole year. But they did accelerate #Deadpool 2 by two weeks for a May 18th release, so there’s that pic.twitter.com/ug0k7AzXS0
