Ryan Reynolds has shared a mysterious Avengers-related post on his social media, teasing that he may return as Deadpool in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday.
On Instagram, Reynolds posted an image combining the Avengers’ iconic “A” (in white) with the Anarchy symbol (in red spray-paint style) overlaid on top. Although Reynolds’ post had no caption and offered no additional details. See the image below.
Recently, we reported that Robert Downey Jr.‘s Doctor Doom will completely destroy the TVA in Avengers: Doomsday. In the film, the TVA will also assemble a team of variant heroes, including Captain Carter, Deadpool, Wolverine, and Laura Kinney (X-23).
During production in the United Kingdom, the Deadpool & Wolverine set was not dismantled and has been reworked for Doomsday. Major scenes have been filmed in The Void, a dumping ground used by the TVA for anything they deem a deviation from the “sacred timeline.”
Speaking to The Times, Reynolds shot down speculation that he’d ever appear in an Avengers movie.
“If Deadpool becomes an Avenger or an X-Man, we’re at the end,” Reynolds said. He added, “That’s wish fulfillment, and you can’t give him that.”
