Ryan Reynolds Fuels Deadpool-in-Avengers: Doomsday Rumors with Cryptic Tease
Alright, so here we go again—Ryan Reynolds is out here doing what Ryan Reynolds does best: being the world’s greatest internet troll and throwing the entire Marvel fandom into a frenzy.
If you’ve ever scrolled through your feed after one of his Instagram “moments,” you know the drill. But today? Man, today’s cryptic tease about the possibility of Deadpool popping up in Avengers: Doomsday has the MCU rumor mill working overtime.
Let’s talk about that Instagram post, because, wow, did it set the internet on fire. Reynolds drops a photo of the Avengers “A” logo, right? But not just any old logo—it’s absolutely drenched in Deadpool’s signature red spray paint, with absolutely no caption.

Cinema Wire (@CinemaWireNews) recently highlighted a post from Ryan Reynolds, who shared a graffitied Avengers logo on Instagram. This logo is notably the same one featured in Deadpool & Wolverine, sparking excitement among fans about the possible crossover or connection between the two universes.
That’s classic Reynolds for you. The man’s practically the king of throwing “maybe/maybe not” curveballs at fans, especially where Deadpool is concerned. We’ve watched him swerve the subject in interviews for years, always with a wink, a smile, and a quip about how Deadpool as an Avenger would signal “the end.” The charm of Deadpool, after all, is that he never quite fits in—he’s like the kid at the birthday party who eats the cake with his hands and makes everyone a little nervous.
But here’s why this one actually matters: Deadpool is already in the MCU now, thanks to Deadpool & Wolverine’s big, messy, universe-mashing success. The crossover door is wide open, and honestly, seeing Deadpool in the thick of an Avengers free-for-all feels like the perfectly chaotic move this franchise needs. I mean, imagine Tony Stark’s ghost rolling his eyes, or Doctor Doom trying to have a serious moment with Deadpool photobombing in the background. Tell me you don’t want to see that.
What’s interesting, and maybe a little suspicious, is the timing. Production on Avengers: Doomsday has been running full steam, with all sorts of casting news trickling out—except, kinda weirdly, for the fan favorites. There’s still no word on Spidey, Hulk, Hawkeye…and yeah, Deadpool. This radio silence, mixed with Reynolds’ troublemaking, is classic Marvel misdirection. Or is it? Secret cameos are practically a Marvel sport at this point.
Let’s not ignore Deadpool’s schtick: he’s a loner, never plays by the rules, and breaks the fourth wall for fun. But wouldn’t it be hilarious to watch him drive the Avengers bananas? That unpredictable humor could be exactly what Marvel needs right now—add a little spice, shake up the lineup, get everyone talking.
And look, Marvel’s already proven it knows how to thread new (and occasionally nutty) characters into the giant MCU quilt. If they can stick Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, and half the X-Men into wild, multiverse-shattering stories, what’s stopping them from just letting Deadpool crash the party in Doomsday? Call it fan service, call it good business—let’s be honest, it’s probably both.
So, is it confirmed? As of right now, no official “Ryan Reynolds IS in Avengers: Doomsday” headline has dropped. But if you ask me—and let’s be real, I see enough of these PR games to know—a post like that isn’t just an accident. Especially not when Reynolds is involved. The guy lives for this kind of meta, wink-at-the-audience hype machine.
