If you follow Josh Brolin on social media then you know he is preparing for his upcoming role as Cable in Deadpool 2. He's taking his training very seriously and it shows.

The 49-year-old actor, who usually has an average build and full head of hair is already changing his look getting closer to how his Marvel character would look.

His more recent post on Instagram shows him pumping iron, even talking a little trash by using the hashtag "#RyanReynoldsIsMyBitch." Clearly a signal to his co-star that the door is now open for a major trash talk session.

Brolin also shared what his diet is like in his post:

"Totally clean: no sugar, no breads, no pastas, no drugs, none of it," Brolin wrote. "Fish, rice, eggs, veggies, water, one @bulletproof or @cavemancoffeeco in the morning. I'm almost 50."

Even Deadpool co-creator Rob Liefeld seems to be VERY happy to see Brolin hitting the weights.

"Did I sweat that the wrong guy would get cast? Yes, 100 percent. That kept me up at night, but the planets aligned, everything worked out and I love seeing these videos of Josh pumping those guns," he told Heat Vision.

Deadpool 2, starring Ryan Reynolds is set to hit theaters on June 1, 2018.
