Part of the thrill of attending San Diego Comic-Con is knowing that celebrities walk among you. They hide their identities by wearing masks like a common geek. This allows them to enjoy the event without being hounded.

Ryan Reynolds, the star of Deadpool, took some time before his panel to scope out SDCC. The lifelong Star Wars fan wore a Darth Vader mask to conceal his identity. "Late for your panel?," Reynolds wrote on his Instagram account. "Sometimes ya gotta make a run for it - harnessing the dark powers of Lord Vader."

Check it out in the image below.

Based upon Marvel Comics' most unconventional anti-hero, DEADPOOL tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.

Deadpool hits theaters on Feb. 12, 2016. You can check out every other upcoming Marvel movie on ComicBook.com's Comic Book Movie Release Schedule!
