We've known for ages that there will be a Deadpool sequel, but thanks to star Ryan Reynolds we know it's finally happening.

Reynolds posted an Instagram photo on Tuesday of the slate for Deadpool 2, just after wrapping his first day back on set.

If you follow Reynolds on social media, particularly on Twitter, you know he's got a flavor for sarcasm and humor -- but his Deadpool post was as sincere as it gets.

We last heard from Deadpool in a pre-Logan teaser, fueling the speculation about how much X-Men involvement there will be in the sequel. In March, Atlanta star Zazie Beetz joined the cast, and as recently as 10 days ago Reynolds tweeted yet another teaser photo.

Deadpool 2 is currently scheduled for a summer 2018 release.
