Vancouver-born actor Ryan Reynolds is thanking residents of his hometown and local police for their patience during the filming of the "Deadpool" sequel.
Two days of film shoots for Deadpool 2 had shut down many streets in downtown Vancouver. In a tweet Tuesday afternoon, Reynolds posed with officers and cheekily claimed he was filming a Spider-man film, despite wearing his signature costume.
Thank you #VPD. And the great people of Vancouver for putting up with road closures and traffic delays as we film Spider-Man downtown. pic.twitter.com/EweL1TtM2k

Vancouver police responded, writing: "Who doesn't love Spider-Man?!" with a winking emoji.
"Thx for the shout-out & taking time to pose for a pic with our officers!"
Deadpool 2, a sequel to the 2016 film that made over $750 million worldwide, has been filming in Vancouver since late July, but a number of busy roads in the downtown core were closed or subject to traffic controls on Monday and Tuesday. The film is set to hit theatres on June 1, 2018.
