creator said he cried while watching "2".

Liefeld, who co-created the With a Mouth with Fabian Nicieza, had a chance to see the highly anticipated movie and watching his beloved comic book opus come alive on big screen was an emotional moment for him.

"I cried at the end of '2'. Part was the nostalgia of the particular track blasting but mostly the emotion that they had landed the plane in such spectacular fashion. The plane is the movie in this analogy, there is no important plane landing sequence I'm referencing," he posted on

Liefeld said he "wiped those tears away as fast as (he) could before the lights came up" because he "couldn't have everyone going 'Why is Liefeld crying over '"

"Movie is a blast. Dream come true. Spectacular hurdle cleared. Get ready for Cable, and the rest!" he added.

"Deadpool 2" picks up after the events of the first film.

The plot follows the titular anti-hero as he battles the time-travelling villain Cable (Josh Brolin), with (Zazie Beetz) joining in on the action.

The film will hit the theatres on May 18.
