The first photo of Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool costume has arrived, courtesy of Reynolds himself:

If the pose recalls Burt Reynolds' iconic Cosmopolitan centerfold from 1972, that's intentional. Reynolds later tweeted a photo of Reynolds:

While the official "Deadpool" Twitter referenced Reynolds by name:

"We can't believe that somebody cut a check to let us make this movie. Although they cut a very small check because it doesn't have the catering budget of most 'X-Men' movies, but it's still cool," Reynolds told HuffPost Entertainment in a recent interview. "It's been a long time coming, but it doesn't come with that kind of attitude. A core group of people have been developing this for the last five years and we're all just very giddy at this point."

"Deadpool" is due out on Feb. 12, 2016.
