In case you missed it, various superheroes are currently competing at fantasy football — a game where your team earns points based on the IRL performance of football players — in the AGBO Superhero Fantasy Football Charity League.

And things are already getting pretty heated.

Earlier in the week, Marvel Cinematic Universe stars Chris Pratt and Ryan Reynolds took some shots at each other over Twitter — and now, with their teams facing off in the next matchup, Reynolds and Avengers star Karen Gillan are doing the same.

It started with this wildly explicit Twitter video, which Reynolds posted on Thursday night.

That is a lot of bleeps.

A short while later, Gillan hit back. And she really wasn't pulling any punches.

"So this week I am playing Ryan Reynolds, and we're meant to trash talk each other, and he had some really nasty words for me," Gillan says in the video below. "But you know what? I think actions speak louder than words, Ryan."

The video quickly cuts to her purchasing a tiny superhero figurine from a store, before torching the poor thing in what looks like her back garden.

The catch? It's actually a Spider-Man figurine she sets fire to, rather than a Deadpool one.

Poor Tom Holland.

It's worth noting at this point that Reynolds is currently one of the league's leaders, and has been undefeated in three games.

If Gillan is the one to finally do it, we can only imagine the Twitter trash talk that will follow...
