Ryan Reynolds was previously reported to be in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, but if you ask him, the star isn’t willing to divulge any details just yet.
What did Ryan Reynolds say about Avengers: Doomsday?
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly in a new interview, Reynolds was asked if Doomsday would feature any Easter eggs of John Candy, like Reynolds has liked to do in past Deadpool movies. Reynolds joked that he’d written some in his head, but hasn’t even been around the set for Doomsday to try and implement them.
“There’s four that I’ve got in there,” Reynolds joked. “Of course, I’ve written them all at home in my PJs, and nobody’s seen ’em nor have I stepped foot on set. But, yeah, that’s about as far as I’ll go on that one.”
According to a recent report from THR in their latest Heat Vision newsletter, it was confirmed that Reynolds would be appearing in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday. However, his confirmation comes with a bit of a twist. According to THR’s Aaron Couch and Borys Kit, fans shouldn’t “expect him to actually be joining the Avengers team.” It’s unclear what his role will be in the film, but it sounds like he’ll be doing his traditional Deadpool thing and being as chaotic as ever.
The confirmed cast for Avengers: Doomsday is going to be massive. So far, several major stars from the MCU have been confirmed to be in the movie, including Chris Hemsworth’s Thor, Pedro Pascal’s Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby’s Invisible Woman/Sue Storm, Anthony Mackie’s Captain America, Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier, Letitia Wright’s Shuri/Black Panther, Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man, and Ryan Reynold’s Deadpool.
