He looked absolutely ripped while in his superhero garb for the exciting day of filming as Cable AKA Nathan Summers.

Josh was not the only one wearing the costume of the mutant member of the X-Men as his stunt double was also pictured on set.

A stuntwoman for co-star Zazie Beetz was also seen rocking her post-apocalyptic clothing as the character Domino.

Earlier in the day the Marvel film's leading man Ryan Reynolds got the honor of revealing the cantankerous Cable, 'a time travelling soldier' with a glowing eye and scar strewn face.

The husband of Blake Lively captioned the shot of his on-screen antagonist with Wade Wilson's typical snark, writing 'We all have that one, grumpy, heavily armed Uncle from the future,' and the cheeky tags '#PremiumCable #MaximumA**hole.'

Brolin, 50, looks nearly unrecognizable in his crime fighting get-up, showing lean-as-can-be face while shushing audiences with a single finger.

Another shot posted by the actor himself showed a fully armed Cable resting a hearty firearm over his shoulder while flaunting a bionic arm and chest strapped with artillery.

Curiously, the tough-as-nails character also keeps a teddy bear at his side.

The Academy Award nominee's caption served up just as much sass as Ryan's, reading 'Now offering 25 percent off your next autopsy. #youremine #deadpool.'

Brolin already exposed the public to the major physical transformation he made for the highly anticipated action film in a nearly NSFW selfie posted weeks back.

Clearly proud of all of his sweat-drenched hours in the gym, the over 50 gent nearly bared all of his marble-carved figure in a black and white selfie where he seemed to be au naturale.
