Ryan Reynolds‘ posted a Deadpool graffiti-ed Avengers logo on Instagram today, which started the rumor mill that the Merc with a Mouth would be in the Russo Brothers’ Avengers: Doomsday movie.
Sources tell us that they haven’t seen Reynolds on set in London, and he isn’t set to appear in the next two Avengers movie. Doomsday, which hits cinemas during the Christmas season 2026, is set to star a who’s who of Marvel Cinematic Universe stars/characters, not just from the new movies such as Thunderbolts* and Fantastic Four: First Steps, but oldies from the 20th Century Fox/Marvel movies, i.e. Patrick Stewart aka Charles Xavier (didn’t he die in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness?), Ian McKellen aka Magneto, Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler, Rebecca Romijn as Mystique, James Marsden aka Cyclops and Kelsey Grammer as Beast.
The Free Guy thespian was just having some fun. That logo Deadpool-ian Avengers logo was last seen in Deadpool & Wolverine as a flag during the dystopian other-verse seen where Deadpool and Wolverine meet Chris Evans’ Johnny Storm. However, the new version that Reynolds posted is in red. I hear a fan made it, Reynolds spotted it and was intrigued to post it.
Marvel has counted three movies to date this year in Captain America: Brave New World ($415.1M WW), Thunderbolts* ($382.4M WW) and Fantastic Four: First Steps, which is coursing to a half billion at the global box office. Last summer, Deadpool & Wolverine broke myriad records, including being the highest grossing R-rated movie ever with $1.33 billion unseating Warner Bros/DC’s Joker ($1.07 billion).
