‘Deadpool 3’ Wraps Filming After Strike Delay, Ryan Reynolds Announces: ‘It’s Mostly Tears’

After a lengthy delay caused by the SAG-AFTRA strike, Marvel Studios’ “Deadpool 3” has wrapped filming, star Ryan Reynolds announced Wednesday on Instagram.

Reynolds thanked the “Deadpool 3” cast, crew and director Shawn Levy, while poking fun at his co-star Hugh Jackman. The touching, borderline heartfelt message was offset — in classic Reynolds and Deadpool fashion — by a picture of the superhero’s spandexed crotch.

“The suit hides the blood. Also sweat… But today, with ‘Deadpool’ wrapping, it’s mostly tears. A giant and forever thanks to the cast and crew of our film who battled wind, rain, strikes and @thehughjackman all under the stalwart leadership of @slevydirect,” Reynolds wrote on Instagram. “I got to make a movie with my closest pals and that doesn’t happen very often. See ya July 26th… ⚔️⚔️.”
