After wrapping up his new Marvel film alongside Hugh Jackman, Reynolds took to Instagram to announce he was auctioning off the equipment used to train for the intense role of Deadpool.

On the Charity Buzz website – used to place bids on equipment – Reynolds said: "Not all heroes lift weights, but they sure can pump iron for a good cause! Thanks to our friends at Life Fitness, we're auctioning off the very gym equipment that had me begging for mercy while training for Deadpool & Wolverine under the expert, and slightly sadistic, guidance of Don Saladino. This gear isn't just drenched in my sweat—I've also marked my territory by signing these pain machines.
"Now that I can finally deflate my muscles, all proceeds will go to the phenomenally fit footballer Paul Mullin's Your Space charity. Your Space supports children with Autism by providing positive social environments and community. So flex that bidding muscle ‘til it’s sore, put some ice on it, and know you are bulking up for a good cause. Welcome to the The Life(Pool) Fitness Auction."

Mullin is exceeding all expectations on and off the pitch. His charity work provides safe spaces for kids with autism to build a community and excel in positive social environments. Reynolds' contributions will ensure they can continue their good work for many more years.
