The merc with a mouth will be here two weeks sooner than previously hoped.

On Thursday the Hollywood Reporter broke the news that Fox had advanced the Untitled Deadpool Sequel release date by two weeks, from June 1 to May 18.

Now the man himself, Ryan Reynolds, has confirmed the news with a sweet and cryptic pic.

From the image it appears Deadpool has named his signature swords after the Golden Girls actress Bea Arthur.

Can we move it up another two weeks please? And then another two weeks after that? And another and another and another...
