Is Ryan Reynolds Teasing Deadpool’s Appearance in AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY?

Ryan Reynolds could be bringing the Merc with a Mouth to the next Avengers film. The actor sent his Instagram followers into a spiral with a simple yet curious post. Reynolds posted an image of the Avengers logo with a red, scrawled A over top of it. Ya know, red like Deadpool’s infamous suit. But really, that red A looks like the anarchy symbol, which is basically Wade Wilson’s middle name, and we saw a similar defaced logo in Deadpool & Wolverine. Interesting. Considering the success of Deadpool & Wolverine and how that character is expected to pop up in the MCU in the future, it is not impossible that he will appear in Avengers: Doomsday.

We all remember the infamous “chair day” with many announcements about Avengers: Doomsday’s cast, and it didn’t include Ryan Reynolds name. But that doesn’t mean a thing. Deadpool could still be in the film, even if it is for a very brief cameo.

He could even play a larger role and the Marvel Studios powers that be didn’t want to announce his involvement. Or maybe Ryan Reynolds was just bored and wanted to mess with millions of people’s heads. Who knows. Avengers: Doomsday is deep into production now and, in our leak-heavy society, it wouldn’t be shocking to get more cast announcements in the near future. Let’s see how this all goes.
