Jumping into action: Ryan Reynolds and his stunt double suited up as Deadpool while filming scenes for the film in Vancouver, Canada on Monday
The red and black Deadpool suit hugged every inch of Ryan and the stunt double's body, and was complete with a belt that featured a number of pockets.
Safety was of top priority, with a number of production staff surrounding the star and stunt double just before the dramatic scene.
After taking a step onto the blue trampoline, the double jumped over the vehicle.

Fans have been begging for a live-feature film of the beloved character who starred opposite Hugh Jackman - and last November Deadline announced Ryan was a go for the role.
He was the natural choice as he had already suited up as the 'Merc with a Mouth' in 2009, and the Buried actor had his own way of letting fans know the movie was actually happening as he tweeted a very telling photo.
Ryan posted a photo of the comic character in his signature clinging red costume complete with holstered weapons all over it.

Showcasing the character's proclivity for tomfoolery, he was shown laid out in a seductive pose across a bear-skin rug in front of a fire.
The provocative pose was a spoof of Burt Reynold's infamous naked centerfold spread for Cosmopolitan in the Seventies.
The caption was yet another reference to pop culture as it was a play off of Spider-Man's famous 'with great power, comes great responsibility' line.
Deadpool, which has sparked discussion over receiving an R or PG-13 rating, is due out for release in 2016.
