Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool will be inAvengers: Doomsdayafter all. TheMarvel Cinematic Universeis finally getting ready to see the return of the Avengers movies after no new entries in the franchise were released during the Multiverse Saga so far. In March, theAvengers: Doomsdaycastwas revealed as Marvel prepared to start filming the next Avengers movie.
That cast reveal included the return of MCU veterans, such as Thor star Chris Hemsworth and Loki actor Tom Hiddleston, as well as several surprises, such as many of Fox’s original X-Men, including James Marsden, Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, and more. While that led to many theories aboutAvengers: Doomsday’s story, the absence of characters like Spider-Man, Deadpool, and Wolverine was noticed.
After the actor recently teased it on social media,The Hollywood Reporterhas confirmed thatRyan Reynolds' Deadpool will appear inAvengers: Doomsday. However, there is a catch. While Wade Wilson might be showing up inAvengers: Doomsday, the character will not join the MCU’s Avengers team. The cast for thehighly anticipated MCU movieshould continue to grow from here.
What Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool Joining Avengers: Doomsday Means
SinceDeadpool & Wolverinegrossed $1.3 billion, it was confusing not to see Reynolds' Deadpool and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine as part of the announced characters forAvengers: Doomsday. However, some time after the initial reveal,Marvel Studios' President, Kevin Feige, claimed that it was not the full cast for the Avengers movie. As such, more names were expected to be announced later.
The report that Deadpool is inAvengers: Doomsdayconnects to that. WhileTHRdid not mention Jackman’s Wolverine,both characters were together at the end ofDeadpool & Wolverine, so it seems reasonable that if Reynolds is coming back for the next Avengers movie, so should Jackman. With production underway onAvengers: Doomsday, there is a lot of time left for reveals.
Before the report,Ryan Reynolds teased Deadpool joining the Avengers on social media. The actor shared the Avengers' “A” with red graffiti on top.The symbol is the same one shown as the logo of The Void’s Resistance fromDeadpool & Wolverine, though with different colors. Given that Channing Tatum’s Gambit was already confirmed forAvengers: Doomsday, the whole team could be coming back.
Our Take On Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool Joining Avengers: Doomsday
Deadpool joiningAvengers: Doomsdayfelt inevitable. First off, alongside Jackman’s Wolverine, Reynolds' Deadpool recently starred in one of Marvel’s highest-grossing movies. Then, there is the fact that Deadpool is still living in a different universe from the main MCU. Given thatthe upcoming Avengers movies should be all about universes colliding, Reynolds' Deadpool had to be in one or both.
In the past,Reynolds spoke about Deadpool possibly joining the Avengers. According to the actor,Wade Wilson could never be an Avengers or X-Men member, as that would make his dreams come true. For the character to work, he has to be an outsider. Based on theAvengers: Doomsdayreport, that could be in play for the film.
With Channing Tatum’s Gambit inAvengers: Doomsdayand Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool confirmed for the MCU movie, plus the actor’s social media tease connecting to The Void’s Resistance, it truly feels like the team will be back soon. As such,Wesley Snipes' Blade, Jennifer Garner’s Elektra, Dafne Keen’s X-23, and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverinecould all be announced forAvengers: Doomsdayin the future.
