Ryan Reynolds has posted the first official look at Chris Evans' cameo inDeadpool and Wolverine, sharing the perfect goodbye to the character. Posting onInstagram, the Wade Wilson star thanked Evans for joining the movie – and elaborated why it was so important to bring him back one last time.

“Part of the movie’s theme is saying goodbye… And one of the gifts of working on the film is that we got to say goodbye on different terms,” he wrote. “Seeing Johnny Storm (if only for a short while) was like seeing someone you miss come back from the dead in a dream. Way too brief and too lovely to be real. Goodbyes are hard. It was hard saying goodbye to Chris Evans' Johnny Storm. But at least we got to actually say it this time.”

Reynolds then went on to reference Storm’s grisly demise in the movie in a perfectly Wade Wilson way. “On the other hand, it wouldn’t have been necessary if he hadn’t run his fat-ass mouth around Cassandra,” he quipped, referencing theDeadpool and Wolverine post-credits scene. “Or if she hadn’t zip-zapped his skin, leaving his organs to splash crudely onto the ground, while the soil greedily drank his blood. It was horrible.”

The actor ended his post with an apt send-off for the Fantastic Four character. “Jonathan Lowell Spencer Storm: We love you. Wherever you are, I’m sure you’re thriving. #FlameOff”. We’re not crying, you are.
