Green Lantern star Ryan Reynolds has shared the first look at Hugh Jackman's Wolverine in upcoming movie Deadpool 3 - and it's good news for X-Men fans.

Posting on his Instagram Story, Reynolds shared a picture of the two of them with the caption "Don't blink".

The movie's Twitter account also shared the image along with the words: "Now in Hugh Res."

The image shows Jackman wearing the traditional yellow and blue costume Wolverine has donned for decades in the comic books.

In the 2000 film X-Men, James Marsden's character Cyclops made a joking reference to the yellow spandex suits worn by Wolverine in a post credits scene where the original X-Men are seen suiting up in leather.

Wolverine complained about the suits, causing Cyclops to quip that at least it wasn't yellow spandex.

Little else is known about the plot of Deadpool 3 other than it's directed by Shawn Levy and will release in May next year.
