Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool Set to Appear in Avengers: Doomsday
Ryan Reynolds is officially bringing Deadpool back to the big screen — this time in Marvel’s next blockbuster ensemble, Avengers: Doomsday. The film, set to be the next major crossover in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), will mark the wisecracking antihero’s first time sharing the stage with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.
A Long-Awaited Crossover
The news, reported by The Hollywood Reporter, confirms one of the most anticipated Marvel crossovers in years. Fans have been eager to see Deadpool collide with the MCU ever since Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox made the character’s inclusion possible. While Reynolds will appear in the upcoming film, insiders caution that viewers shouldn’t expect Deadpool to be made an official Avenger just yet.
From Rumors to Reality
Speculation about Deadpool’s involvement has been swirling for months. The conversation first took off when Marvel unveiled its chair-focused cast announcement video earlier this year, sparking questions about who else might join the lineup. The excitement only grew after Reynolds playfully teased Deadpool’s return on social media just days ago, fueling the frenzy even further.
Deadpool’s MCU Journey So Far
For longtime Marvel fans, Reynolds’ return comes as no real surprise. Deadpool officially crossed into the MCU with 2024’s Deadpool & Wolverine, where multiverse chaos allowed the Merc with a Mouth to slice his way through alternate realities alongside Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine. That film not only cemented Deadpool’s place in the MCU but also set the stage for future appearances in Marvel’s biggest storylines.
What Comes Next
Details surrounding Avengers: Doomsday remain tightly under wraps, and Marvel has yet to confirm exactly how Deadpool fits into the larger plot. Still, Reynolds’ addition adds a jolt of humor and unpredictability to a film already shaping up to be one of Marvel’s most ambitious crossovers yet.
Whether he’s breaking the fourth wall, clashing with heroes, or just stirring chaos, Deadpool’s debut in the Avengers franchise promises to be a milestone moment for both the character and the MCU at large.
