But read carefully, and you’ll find he hid a classic Wade Wilson-style joke in his 140 characters. “Thank you #VPD. And the great people of Vancouver for putting up with road closures and traffic delays as we film Spider-Man downtown,” he wrote on Twitter, sharing a photo of his (unmasked) self alongside a police crew. Reynolds also very cheekily tagged [actor Tom Holland](http://time.com/4837442/spider-man-tom-holland-peter-parker/ "undefined"), who starred in the latest big-screen reboot of the [_Spider-Man_](http://time.com/4865988/spider-man-ranked/ "undefined") franchise, in the photo. Deadpool’s stretchy red one-piece costume most closely resembles that of his arachnid-loving fellow superhero, and the two characters have been known to [encounter each other](http://deadpool.wikia.com/wiki/Spider-Man "undefined") across their storylines every so often. > [](https://twitter.com/VancityReynolds/status/895049716269850624) The internet took it from there. > [](https://twitter.com/Goughy%5F7/status/895050114976407552) > [](https://twitter.com/shaelyn%5F%5F/status/895050170550820864) > [](https://twitter.com/guanchutri/status/895056466226401280) > [](https://twitter.com/ih8michaelowens/status/895057469684277252) The Vancouver Police Department also got in on the joke, winking at Reynolds’s misnomer in another Twitter shout-out. > [](https://twitter.com/VancouverPD/status/895055995260370944) _Deadpool 2_ is expected to be released in 2018\. Already, anticipation is rising as shots of characters like [Josh Brolin’s Cable](http://time.com/4890289/deadpool-2-cable-josh-brolin/ "undefined") and Zazie Beetz’s Domino have been circulating to general praise. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4893198/ryan-reynolds-trolls-spiderman/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4893198/ryan-reynolds-trolls-spiderman/"},"headline":"Deadpool Hero Ryan Reynolds Is Trolling Spiderman to the Internet's Delight","datePublished":"2017-08-09T16:07:57.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:46:15.780Z","description":"The 'Deadpool 2' star has been filming in Vancouver for the upcoming superhero movie, and shared a photo from the set with police officers.","url":"https://time.com/4893198/ryan-reynolds-trolls-spiderman/","keywords":["Newsfeed","movies","Ryan Reynolds","Deadpool"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt29dfc818daf483e0/6988bc6f7cdbacbf13d574ee/deadpool.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt29dfc818daf483e0/6988bc6f7cdbacbf13d574ee/deadpool.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"deadpool","caption":"deadpool","creditText":"20th Century Fox","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4893198/ryan-reynolds-trolls-spiderman/","name":"Deadpool Hero Ryan Reynolds Is Trolling Spiderman to the Internet's Delight"}}]}] ```
