The superhero is welcoming back the king.

Noah Syndergaard was the first to start crowing about four more years of Yoenis Cespedes, who agreed Tuesday to sign a deal with the Mets worth $110 million.

Thor turned to “The Lion King,” letting Simba and Rafiki express his joy over the big bat pledging to return to the middle of the Mets lineup and their outfield.

The deal contains a no-trade clause and no reported opt-out, so the 31-year-old Cuban can make his home in Queens. Jose Reyes endorsed the move and a Cespedes presidency, posting a screenshot of what appeared to be a FaceTime conversation between the two. Cespedes was pictured scratching at his head with a restrained smile, perhaps seeing an average of $27.5 million per season dancing in front of him.

Infielder Matt Reynolds soon joined the virtual party, choosing a slack-jawed, overjoyed Jonah Hill to communicate his happiness.
