Deadpool 3 stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman tussled on the grass on Monday as they continued filming the comedy-action movie in the south of England.
Ryan, 47, was in full red and black Deadpool attire complete with the mask while Hugh, 55, wore just his yellow and black Wolverine suit.
The film’s star energetically jumped onto the irritated-looking Hugh’s back and locked one arm around his neck.
Hugh attempted to shake him off but Ryan was too strong at first. Hugh eventually succeeded, and the two began walking peacefully side by side.
It was just Ryan and Hugh on set during these specific scenes but on Friday they were joined by Ryan’s stunt double.

Hugh last played Wolverine in 2017’s Logan.
The revival of the clawed and flawed character comes as he separates from his wife after 27 years of marriage.
Deadpool 3 began filming last year but had to take a four-month break from July to November due to the US actors’ strike.
Production of the film is believed to have been relocated to the UK so Ryan can manage his commitments with his team Wrexham FC.
Last month, images from the filming of Deadpool 3 revealed another major X-Men cameo is set to occur in the upcoming movie.
Fans were sent into meltdown when it was revealed Hugh would be reprising his role alongside Sabretooth (Victor Creed).
Pictures – taken on set a month before the actors’ strike ground filming to a temporary halt – revealed Sabretooth’s comeback.
Sabretooth is one of Wolverine’s greatest nemeses and Hugh and Victor were seen filming tense scenes on a British beach.

Back on set, Wolverine attempted to shake Deadpool off but Ryan was too strong at first, clinging on
Wolverine looked merely inconvenienced by the weight of a full-grown man on his back, not even using his arms to support the load
Eventually, Wolverine overpowered Deadpool and he dramatically begins to fall, arms and legs flailing wildly
Deadpool reached out to Wolverine for support as he fell but the X Man swiftly moved away, leading Deadpool to a rough landing
Wolverine left Deadpool on the ground and headed in the opposite direction, but the resilient superhero was already on his way to his feet
Once again side by side, Deadpool enthusiastically tells Wolverine a story, raising his arms high in the air while the mutant looks perplexed
Wolverine and Deadpool then set their sights on something else and form a reunited front as they walk calmly together
Among those set to star in the upcoming film is The Crown’s Emma Corrin, who will play a lead villain whose name has not been disclosed.
Ryan tweeted: ‘New addition to the family! The Deadpool family, for clarity. Which is just like a real family except with less swearing… Welcome, Emma Corrin!’
The film will also feature Jennifer Garner, reprising her character Elektra who has not been seen for over 20 years, since 2003’s Daredevil.
The day after Ryan announced that Hugh would return as the late Wolverine, the pair sat down for a faux fan Q&A.
‘I had a lot of questions. I’m sure you had a lot of questions. But rest assured, we’re going to answer them right now,’ Hugh promised. ‘Like, for example, how is Wolverine alive after Logan?’
Ryan clarified that Logan was set in 2029 and it was a ‘totally separate thing’ – hinting it might involve the MCU multi-verse.
When audiences last saw Wolverine, whose healing powers were diminished, he had been stabbed in the heart and impaled by a branch by his evil clone X-24 in the 2017 film Logan.
He was then buried by his mutant daughter Laura and the other Transigen children beneath a wooden X to honour his time with the X-Men.
