Nice shirt, bub.

On Sunday, Aug. 4, Ryan Reynolds once again proved he's Hugh Jackman's biggest fan. The Deadpool & Wolverine actor, 47, shared a photo on his Instagram Stories featuring himself wearing a shirt with not one, not two, but three Wolverines on it. He topped off his look with another nod to Marvel synergy by donning a blue Anarchy Avengers cap.

Reynolds included a link to "Wade's Closet" on his Stories, a nod to his Marvel character Wade Wilson, aka Deadpool (who dreams of becoming an Avenger and has a team-up with Wolverine in the new film). He also paired the photo with Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes' "Up Where We Belong" from An Officer and a Gentleman. The ballad is the perfect homage to the bromance that blossoms between Deadpool and Wolverine in the film — and the one that's long existed between Reynolds and his pal Jackman in real life.

The shirt — which is from Homage and retails for $36 — is from artist Antonia Neshev and depicts three images of Jackman's Wolverine howling at the moon. "Embrace the three Wolverines howling inside your soul and let the world see your true magnificence. Can you feel the mutant power?" the cheeky description on the website reads.

According to the brand's website, the T-shirt was created with ​​Reynolds' Maximum Effort production company. It's also part of an official Wade's Closet collection featuring a “special collection of Deadpool designs hand-picked by Ryan Reynolds, fresh from Wade Wilson's personal closet.” 

Never mind Wade, Reynolds shirt may actually have been stolen from his wife Blake Lively's closet. The It Ends with Us actress, 36, wore the same shirt while zip-lining in New York on July 27. At the time, she captioned the photo on her Instagram Stories, "When your man’s away so you have the time of your life wearing your other man’s shirt."

Lively has her own small role in Deadpool & Wolverine. The Gossip Girl alum appears as Lady Deadpool in the film and walked the red carpet at the premiere in a silk, form-fitting red bodysuit that nodded to her character's look.

Deadpool and Wolverine — which had the highest grossing opening weekend for an R-rated film of all-time with a total of $205 million — is a true family affair. In addition to Lively, the film also features a cameo from the couple's 7-year-old daughter, Inez, as Kidpool. Their daughter James, 9, is credited as a screaming mutant and son Olin, 18 months, played Babypool. Meanwhile, Betty, 4, had a behind-the-scenes job as "Hugh Jackman Wrangler."

"I don't profess that my kids are perfectly behaved. My 4-year-old Betty sort of loves Hugh, like unconditionally," Reynolds told PEOPLE at the movie's premiere. "And she expresses that love through unblinking violence. So she attacks him, thinking she has claws and he has a healing factor — which he might."

Deadpool & Wolverine is in theaters now.
