'Training to be the next Deadpool' - Ryan Reynolds gets Wrexham striker Paul Mullin's seal of approval as he shows off his guns to promote Deadpool & Wolverine gym equipment auction

Hollywood star and Wrexham co-owner Reynolds, who enacted the role of Deadpool in the recently released movie Deadpool & Wolverine, is auctioning off the gym equipment which was used during shooting of the film, with the proceeds going to charity.

In a video posted on Instagram, the actor can be seen working out at the gym and then urging the fans to take part in the auction to buy the equipment. Red Dragons' star striker Mullin later shared the video on his Instagram story and wrote: "If you're training to be a bodybuilder or to be the next Deadpool, this equipment works for both."

The charity that Reynolds is planning to donate the proceeds to is run by Mullin. 'Your Space' help and support children suffering from autism and their families located across Wrexham, Flintshire, Denbighshire, Shropshire and Powys. Mullin became a patron of the organisation after his son was diagnosed with autism last year.

After holding Chelsea to an exciting 2-2 draw in their first pre-season friendly in the United States, Paul Parkinson's side will be next seen in action on Saturday against Vancouver Whitecaps.
