Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool is ready to make the leap into the world of ensemble MCU movies, but there will be a slight twist when he arrives in Avengers: Doomsday.
What is Deadpool’s role going to be in Avengers: Doomsday?
According to a new report from THR in their latest Heat Vision newsletter, it was confirmed that Reynolds would be appearing in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday. The news comes just a few days after Reynolds teased his appearance in a new post on Instagram.
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.
With Reynolds joining the cast, 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, and Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man.
