deadpoolReynolds’ wisecracking anti-hero was last seen in 2024’s box office hit Deadpool & Wolverine, which grossed $1.3 billion worldwide. While Marvel did not list him among the confirmed cast for Avengers: Doomsday during its “big chair” reveal, the film’s multiverse-driven premise — coupled with Deadpool’s unpredictable nature — has long fueled theories about his return.

The timing of Reynolds’ post has intensified speculation, with fans believing he is more likely to appear in Doomsday than in a later installment like Avengers: Secret Wars. Marvel is currently filming Doomsday, and some fans are expecting another major cast reveal as production continues.

Filming for Avengers: Doomsday has been underway for months, with sightings of Sam Wilson’s Avengers, The Thunderbolts/New Avengers, and The Fantastic Four on set. Leaked photos have also shown members of the legacy X-Men team, leaving room for even more potential cameos.

With the film set to revisit the old Fox X-Men universe — featuring icons like Patrick Stewart’s Professor X, James Marsden’s Cyclops, and Ian McKellen’s Magneto — fans are hopeful for a reunion that includes both Reynolds’ Deadpool and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine. As anticipation builds, all eyes are now on Marvel for its next big reveal.
