It seems Ryan Reynolds wasn’t trolling his fans after all. Earlier this week, the Deadpool actor posted a logo from Deadpool & Wolverine teasing a connection to the Avengers. Was he joking? Was he not? Well, it turns out, he wasn’t. Deadpool will reportedly appear in some capacity in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday.
He just won’t be a member of the team. The Hollywood Reporter reported the news of the character’s addition and io9 has reached out to Marvel Studios for any clarity or confirmation and will update this post when or if we hear back.
Earlier this year, Marvel spent the better part of the day revealing the insanely huge cast for the upcoming film, which is now coming to theaters in December 2026. Reynolds was one of the more glaring omissions, especially since Channing Tatum was in there and he returned in Deadpool & Wolverine. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige did say, though, that there were still some surprises to be had and, apparently, Deadpool is one of them.
But that was still just a dream scenario. There were no real indicators it might happen, until earlier this week. That’s when Reynolds, seemingly out of nowhere, posted the Avengers symbol with the anarchy “A” drawn on top, which was seen in the Void scenes of Deadpool & Wolverine. He wasn’t promoting the movie again. He wasn’t teasing a sequel. But he was teasing something and, now, it seems we know what it is.
