Ryan Reynolds Denies Filming Avengers: Doomsday Role

Ryan Reynolds has fueled rumors about reprising his role as Deadpool in the upcoming Marvel film Avengers: Doomsday, notably after posting a graffiti-ed Avengers logo on social media. However, Reynolds has clarified in multiple interviews that he has not yet stepped foot on the set, nor confirmed any involvement, despite joking about having written Easter eggs for the film. While The Hollywood Reporter claimed Deadpool would return, Deadline and other sources have expressed skepticism due to Reynolds' absence from filming and set sightings. Avengers: Doomsday will feature a large ensemble cast including returning X-Men actors and other Marvel characters, with Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, and Channing Tatum among those confirmed. Rumors of any on-set feud between Reynolds and Robert Downey Jr., who plays Doctor Doom, have been denied, with insiders stating the actors have never met. The film, directed by the Russo brothers, is scheduled for release on December 18, 2026, and continues to stir excitement with its expansive Marvel multiverse storyline.
