Actor Ryan Reynolds has once again set the internet ablaze, this time with a cryptic Instagram post that has Deadpool fans buzzing about a possible crossover with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.
The timing couldn’t be more suspicious. Just as filming for Avengers: Doomsday is underway, Ryan posted an image featuring the iconic Avengers logo in the early hours of Tuesday, August 12. With no context beyond a teasing caption, speculation exploded.
Marvel recently dropped a massive, six-hour cast reveal for Avengers: Doomsday, but many major names were notably missing. The studio was quick to remind fans the list wasn’t exhaustive, especially with Avengers: Secret Wars still on the horizon for 2027. Still, fans were left wondering… until now.
Ryans’ post instantly went viral, racking up over a lakh likes within an hour. As a result chaos erupted from hopeful fans desperate to see the foul-mouthed mercenary finally join the Avengers lineup.
“Don’t do that. Don’t give me hope,” one fan commented. Another added, “If you are saying what I think you’re saying, I’m actually gonna scream.” A third fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter), "Plz tell me that Deadpool & Wolverine are returning for Avengers: Doomsday! I need to know!".
