Ryan Reynolds has finally addressed the leaks from the sets of the Deadpool 3 - currently in the midst of filming.

Ryan Reynolds shares quip on leaks from sets

Ryan Reynolds took to his social media handles to share an edited photo, seemingly from the sets of Deadpool 3. Reynolds can be seen standing along side Hugh Jackman. The two appear to be looking in front which is where an image of a predator or alien has been edited onto the front. The caption to the post carried a quip about how Reynolds was partaking in sharing leaks from the sets of the film but hopes that his audience is judicious with googling the term 'Deadpool leaks' for its other implications.

The caption to the post read, "Deadpool began with a leak. So I’m joining in. But PLEASE don’t overuse the phrase, “Deadpool Leaks” because it might screw up search results if anyone is looking for Deadpool leaks or Deadpool spoilers or perhaps, Deadpool Scoops."

Ryan Reynolds has previously too addressed the Deadpool 3 leaks

The actor has previously too addressed the leaks from the sets - albeit in a serious tone. Taking to his Instagram handle, the actor had shared how the team is shooting in the outdoors as opposed to excessive reliance on indoor technology, to provide an authentic cinema going experience for the audiences. He urged social media platforms and his own fans to avoid partaking in circulating the leaks so as to preserve the film's plot twists. 

He said, "Surprises are part of the magic of theatrical movies. It is important for us to shoot the new Deadpool film in real, natural environments, using practical effects as opposed to making the movie indoors and digitally. Telephoto lenses continue to spoil surprises and create a difficult situation for everyone. Here’s hoping some of the websites and social channels hold back showing images before they’re ready. The film is built for audience joy – and our highest hope is to preserve as much of that magic as possible for the finished film and the big screen. Part of the reason people post spoilers is because they’re excited. I realize these aren’t real world issues and it’s firmly in the ‘good problems’ bucket. I love making this movie."
