Deadpool’s going to have some seriously muscular backup in his new movie.

Actor Ryan Reynolds shared the first look at Josh Brolin as Cable in Deadpool 2, the highly anticipated sequel hitting theaters in 2018. Brolin responded by putting the photos on his Instagram and adding the comment: “Now offering 25 percent off your next autopsy.  #youremine #deadpool.”
