Actor Ryan Reynolds has taken to social media and confirmed on Twitter that the cast and crew of ‘Deadpool’ have recently finished filming the highly-anticipated movie.

Drawing out its main inspiration from the most unconventional anti-hero of Marvel Comics, ‘Deadpool’ tells the story of Wade Wilson, a former operative who used to work for the Special Forces but eventually became a mercenary.

After being asked to submit himself to a rogue experiment, Wilson was left with extraordinary healing powers and accordingly adopted the alter ego Deadpool. Combining his new abilities with his sinister sense of humor, Deadpool goes on a hunt for the man who almost destroyed his life.

As Reynolds stars as the title character, other cast members include TJ Miller as Weasel, Gina Carano as Angel Dust, Brianna Hildebrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Morena Baccarin as Copycat and Ed Skrein as Ajax.

The upcoming movie will also feature the mutant Colossus, although Daniel Cudmore has already confirmed he will not be portraying the character.

Reynolds has also been hoping that Hugh Jackman might make an appearance as Wolverine, although it has not been confirmed if he will make such cameo in the movie.

‘Zombieland’ writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick worked on the script while Tim Miller took on directorial duties.

Confirmed to be rated R, ‘Deadpool’ has been scheduled for an official release on Feb. 12, 2016.

Earlier this month, Reynolds welcomed a special guest into the set- a young cancer patient named Tony Acevedo. With the efforts of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Acevedo was able to wear the Deadpool costume and become the Merc with a Mouth for a day.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, a spokesperson for the foundation explained that Acevedo wanted to meet Reynolds’ fictional character because “Deadpool never dies.”

The heart-warming moment took place only days after the 38-year-old actor offered Deadpool's katana sword to 15-year-old Calista King who went through surgery for malignant brain tumors.

Cancer can be associated with Reynolds' character, who also struggled with the big C before obtaining accelerated healing powers.

Aside from ‘Deadpool’, Blake Lively’s husband has also been set to appear as Young Damian in the sci-fi movie ‘Self/less’ directed by Tarsem Singh, which will be released on July 10. He will star alongside Ben Kingsley (‘Iron Man 3’), Michelle Dockery (‘Downton Abbey’) and Matthew Goode (‘The Imitation Game’).
