Reynolds suggested his good standing with the swole patrol is now in jeopardy now that he’s facing off with Brolin for the Deadpool sequel. 

“I’ve spent this last week on the business end of many Josh Brolin punches—both verbal and physical and literal, and it’s going to be pretty fantastic,” Reynolds told Fandango.

“He’s going to be epic. He’s going to be an epic Cable.”
