Ryan Reynolds Fuels Speculation About Deadpool's Appearance in Avengers Films

New Development: In a new development that ignited the excitement of fans of Marvel's cinematic universe, renowned Marvel star Ryan Reynolds fueled speculation about a potential appearance of the Deadpool character in upcoming Avengers films. This speculation grew after a cryptic post Reynolds shared on Instagram, where he displayed the distinctive red Avengers logo, accompanied by a famous quote from Clint Barton (Hawkeye) in "Avengers: Endgame" (2019): "Don't do that. Don't give me hope."

Strong Hints of Deadpool's Appearance in Upcoming Avengers Films

Increasing Hints: These growing hints suggest that the Deadpool character may finally join Earth's mightiest heroes to face new cosmic threats. This desire was clearly expressed by Deadpool himself in the film "Deadpool & Wolverine", where he voiced his ambition to join the superhero team. Although Ryan Reynolds' name was not on the initial list announced for "Avengers: Doomsday", which included 27 actors, Marvel Studios stated less than 24 hours later that "there's always room for more," opening the door to the possibility of new characters joining in the future.

Marvel's Statements and the Possibility of Expanding the Hero Roster

Reynolds' Post: Reynolds' latest post indicates that Deadpool's appearance in Avengers films is imminent, but it is likely to be in "Avengers: Secret Wars" rather than "Avengers 5". It makes sense for Deadpool to have a larger and more impactful role in "Secret Wars", especially after his previous experiences traversing Marvel's multiple universes. At the end of "Deadpool & Wolverine", the duo settles on Earth-10005, a parallel universe to the main Marvel Cinematic Universe (Earth-616).

Why is Deadpool's Appearance in "Secret Wars" More Logical?

Directors' Statements: The Russo Brothers, directors of "Doomsday" and its sequel, stated that they are heavily inspired by the "Secret Wars" comic book stories. The story of "Secret Wars" is one of the most prominent events in Marvel comic book history, where multiple universes collide and destroy each other in a phenomenon known as "Incursions". From this destruction, a new planet called "Battleworld" emerges, an amalgamation of the remnants of destroyed worlds, ruled by "God Emperor Doom" who has seized immense cosmic power. This narrative framework allows many characters from different universes to meet and interact, making it an ideal stage for a character like Deadpool to appear alongside the Avengers. Given that "Doomsday" will already be packed with characters, delaying Deadpool's introduction to the Avengers team until "Secret Wars" will give his appearance a stronger emotional and dramatic impact, serving both the character and satisfying the audience.
