Ryan Reynolds, star of Deadpool 3, has joined in on the fun of leaking set photos from the highly-anticipated Marvel Cinematic Universe movie. After addressing the recent wave of leaked images, Reynolds had a change of heart and decided to share some fake set photos of his own. In a post on X, Reynolds wrote, "Deadpool began with a leak. So I'm joining in." However, he urged fans not to overuse the phrase "Deadpool leaks" as it could affect search results for genuine leaks or spoilers.

Reynolds shared five edited set photos that poke fun at the leakers and scoopers who have been spoiling surprise cameos and story elements.

One photo features Wolverine and Deadpool standing with the sci-fi villain Predator, while another shows Mickey Mouse clapping as Deadpool walks away with a bag of money, much to Wolverine's disgust. Quibi and Steve Urkel also make appearances in the actor's fictional set photos.

Unlike most Marvel Studios productions, Deadpool 3 is being shot in practical locations rather than in front of a green screen, making it easier for spoilers to be leaked. Reynolds addressed this issue on Instagram, explaining that shooting in real environments with practical effects was important to capture the film's magic and joy for the big screen.

He acknowledged that people post spoilers out of excitement and considered it a minor issue in the grand scheme of things.

While Reynolds may be disappointed with the leaks, he reflected on the fact that the first Deadpool movie was greenlit after leaked test footage garnered overwhelming enthusiasm from fans. This led 20th Century Fox to revive the project and move it into production.

Deadpool and Deadpool 2 are currently available to stream on Disney+. Deadpool 3 is set to hit theaters on July 26, 2024.
