Ryan Reynolds shows off his rippling muscles on Instagram as he takes a break from filming Deadpool 2
The 40-year-old actor has trained hard in preparation for playing the cheeky superhero a second time.
RYAN Reynolds has showed off his ripped torso in a new Instagram picture from the set of Deadpool 2.
The 40-year-old actor has worked hard to get superhero ready once again for the highly anticipated sequel, with his personal trainer Don Saladino revealing the results on the social networking site.
Posting a split screen shot, Ryan can be seen in his red and black Deadpool costume on the right, while on the left, the actor stands shirtless in front of a shower, with fake blood running down his chiselled abs and pecs.
Don wrote: "@joshbrolin, you still have work to do.
"Loved being able to tag along for the ride and watch this guy put the work in. Are you guys pumped for #deadpool2?".
Don referred to actor Josh Brolin, 49, who has been cast as Nathan Summers/Cable, a member of the X-Men.
Ryan spoke about his relationship with Don in the September issue of Men's Health, having worked together for the past eight years.
He said: "Don has programs that I can access online because when I'm shooting, my hours are so erratic.
"I don't want to have to meet somebody at four in the morning in a dark gym.
"I just want to go when I can go."
Ryan's wife - actress Blake Lively - also works out with Don, having posted a picture of herself with him in honour of his birthday back in April.
She captioned it: "Happy Birthday @donsaladino. Thank you for always helping me to work it out.
"Beyond that, you're an amazing friend, father, and leader. I'm happy to know you, sir."
