Ryan Reynolds Teases Deadpool’s Possible Return in "Avengers: Doomsday"

Is the foul-mouthed Marvel hero finally joining Earth's Mightiest Heroes?

Ryan Reynolds posted Tuesday a cryptic Instagram post teasing fans about the possibility of returning as Deadpool in "Avengers: Doomsday."

The post shows a graffiti version of the Avengers logo. He did not include any caption.

The logo was previously seen on a flag in 2024's "Deadpool & Wolverine" during a scene where Reynolds' Deadpool and Hugh Jackman's Wolverine were captured.

The photo in the post appears to have been taken from a July 2024 Reddit post, where a user posted pictures of several custom Marvel shirts in anticipation of "Deadpool & Wolverine."

However, Reynolds' posting the Avengers logo without comment, as filming on "Avengers: Doomsday" is underway, stirred speculation that he could be preparing to announce his involvement in the movie. "If you are saying what I think you’re saying, I'm actually gonna scream," a comment on the post read.

Reynolds was notably missing from the lengthy "Avengers: Doomsday" cast list that Marvel unveiled in March during an hours-long live stream, where every individual star's name was revealed one at a time. But after the stream ended, Marvel hinted that it was not the complete cast list – and that other actors could be joining the movie. "There's always room for more," the studio teased.

The Merc with a Mouth was last seen in "Deadpool & Wolverine," which brought him to the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the first time.

While the movie was a massive hit, no sequel has been announced nor has it been confirmed where or when fans will see Deadpool next.

During a Variety Actors on Actors segment with Andrew Garfield in December, Reynolds said he would like to see Deadpool function more as a supporting character going forward. "If he comes back, it's going to be in someone's else's movie," he said.

Reynolds also told Time magazine in April that he was "writing a little something right now that is an ensemble" involving Deadpool, but did not reveal details.

The announced cast list for "Avengers: Doomsday" does include one star from "Deadpool & Wolverine:" Channing Tatum, who made his debut as Gambit in the 2024 "Deadpool" film.

Other stars confirmed for the next "Avengers" include Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Paul Rudd, Simu Liu, Florence Pugh, and Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom.
