Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds posted a photo of himself at Marvel Studios to his Twitter account.
Though his caption is definitely played for laughs (as usual), Reynolds’ official presence at the Studio is the biggest indicator yet that Deadpool could find his way to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Deadpool is the only 20th Century Fox X-Men character to get a spotlight since Disney purchased Fox, appearing on a graphic announcing Fox’s integration into Disney’s portfolio. Meanwhile, Disney Chairman Bob Iger also vowed to continue the Deadpool franchise in some fashion – though no official plans have been announced.
