Ryan Reynolds’ recent social media post has shaken up the Marvel fandom. The actor behind Deadpool, one of the most irreverent and beloved characters, dropped hints that may suggest his participation in Avengers: Doomsday — a film that will be released in Brazil as Vingadores: Juízo Final. While the information has not yet been officially confirmed by the studio, speculation has taken over the internet, placing Reynolds’ name among the most talked about.
In this article, we’ll break down the rumors, the actor’s statements, Marvel Studios’ strategies, and the potential impact of a Deadpool appearance in the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe).
Ryan Reynolds’ Mysterious Post
In early August 2025, Ryan Reynolds posted on Instagram an image featuring the Avengers logo alongside the quote: “Don’t do that. Don’t give me hope” — Clint Barton’s iconic line from Avengers: Endgame. This single gesture was enough to ignite social media, with thousands of fans speculating that Deadpool could soon join the Avengers lineup in Avengers: Doomsday.
Although Reynolds is well-known for joking with fans and for his creative marketing stunts, many interpreted the post as an unofficial teaser — a strategy Marvel often employs to keep anticipation high for upcoming releases.
Deadpool in the MCU: Reality or Just a Rumor?
So far, Marvel Studios has not confirmed Reynolds’ presence in Avengers: Doomsday. Sources close to the production suggest that the official cast list is not complete, leaving room for surprise appearances. This fuels the rumor that Deadpool could indeed make a cameo — even if only briefly.
The timing also makes sense: following the success of Deadpool & Wolverine in 2024, which cemented the character’s place within the MCU, it would be natural for Marvel to explore further crossovers. Deadpool’s presence in the multiverse opens endless narrative possibilities, including hilarious interactions with heroes like Doctor Strange, Thor, and even Spider-Man.
Ryan Reynolds’ View on Deadpool as an Avenger
Despite fans’ excitement, Reynolds himself has expressed that he does not want Deadpool to officially become an Avenger or even an X-Man. For him, the charm of the character lies in being an outsider — someone who drifts between heroes but never fully belongs.
In recent interviews, Reynolds suggested that Deadpool’s future lies in surprise appearances and supporting roles, always in unexpected ways. This implies that if Deadpool does appear in Avengers: Doomsday, he likely won’t play a central role but instead bring comic relief and his trademark fourth-wall-breaking humor.
What We Know About Avengers: Doomsday
Scheduled for release in December 2026, Avengers: Doomsday is shaping up to be one of Marvel’s most ambitious films yet. It will serve as the opening chapter of a new saga that culminates in Secret Wars, uniting a massive crossover of heroes and villains across the multiverse.
The main confirmed antagonist is Doctor Doom — portrayed by Robert Downey Jr. as an alternate version of Tony Stark/Doom. This casting choice alone has skyrocketed fan expectations, marking Downey’s return to the MCU after Iron Man’s death in Endgame.
With a cast expected to include mutants, the Fantastic Four, and alternate versions of classic heroes, the addition of Deadpool as a bridge between realities doesn’t seem far-fetched.
Impact on the MCU and Fans
If Ryan Reynolds truly appears as Deadpool in Avengers: Doomsday, the impact on audiences would be immediate. The character is one of Marvel’s most popular, thanks to his irreverent tone that contrasts with the Avengers’ seriousness.
His inclusion could:
- Bring meta-humor and fourth-wall breaks into the multiverse chaos.
- Connect franchises more seamlessly, since Deadpool can interact with the X-Men, Fantastic Four, and other groups.
- Boost marketing value, as even speculation has already pushed the film into the spotlight long before release.
Conclusion
At this point, Ryan Reynolds’ role as Deadpool in Avengers: Doomsday remains speculation. However, the hints — combined with Marvel’s history of keeping surprises until the last moment — make it a very plausible scenario.
Whether in a post-credit scene or a more significant cameo, Deadpool’s arrival in the Avengers’ world would be a milestone not only for the MCU but also for fans who have followed this saga for over 15 years.
Until official confirmation, every move by Reynolds and Marvel will continue to be scrutinized closely by fans worldwide.
