First Photo of Ryan Reynolds in Deadpool Costume Is Dead Sexy

Are you ready to swoon over the sexiest pic of Ryan Reynolds ever taken?

Are you sure you're ready?

Okay, here it is:

That's Reynolds as Deadpool, the Marvel superhero who will be getting his own solo movie in the near future. This is the first official photo of Reynolds in costume, which Reynolds himself tweeted out today.

"With great power, comes great irresponsibility. #deadpool #officialsuit," tweeted Reynolds, adding, "No bears were harmed in the making of this photo. Though many bears likely turned on."

Reynolds played a version of Deadpool in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" when he appeared as Wade Wilson, Deadpool's real identity. The character wasn't entirely accurate to the comics, but it was enough for Marvel to consider giving Deadpool his own movie.

After a short CGI film featuring Reynolds' voice was used as a sizzle reel, the film was greenlit...however, fans are concerned over the PG-13 rating, which limits the violence and language that is normally associate with the "Merc with a Mouth."

In any case, we're pretty sure that's the sexiest promo photo ever taken.
