On March 3rd Ryan Reynolds posted the following with filming soon set to wrap:

“Gamora, Elektra, The Hulk, Deadpool and the kid who’ll eventually play Deadpool when I crawl into a box and turn into a skeleton. If The Adam Project is a fraction as beautiful and funny and wild as it was to shoot, then I guess we really pulled something off.

Thank you Netflix, Sky Dance and my spiritual, cinematic soulmate Shawn Levy – Also, a lingering, uncomfortably indulgent hug to my beautiful hometown of #Vancouver. And in particular, the entire crew of #TheAdamProject who brought the ship to port four days ahead of schedule!”
