The more news we hear about next winter\u2019s\u00a0Avengers: Doomsday, the harder it gets to imagine Joe and Anthony Russo\u2019s return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as an actual\u00a0film. A collection of cameos and assorted jammed-together plot points strung together across 7 years of post-Endgame storytelling? Sure. A place for a frankly massive number of former Marvel actors to hang out while not sitting in their snazzy personalized chairs<\/a>? Absolutely! A coherent story where its many, many\u00a0characters each get a chance to have notable moments? Well\u2026<\/p>\n

This nervousness brought to you by news\u2014coming out of\u00a0The Hollywood Reporter\u2018s comics-focused\u00a0Heat Vision\u00a0newsletter<\/a>\u2014that Ryan Reynolds will reportedly now also be joining the film. Reynolds set off speculation that he\u2019d be bringing Deadpool by to grace the movie with his box office-boosting presence earlier this week, posting a vandalized version of the Avengers logo to his Instagram<\/a>. (To quote Heat Vision: \u201cSomething Deadpool would do.\u201d) Now, that arbiter of all secret information in Hollywood\u2014\u201dsources say\u201d\u2014has confirmed that Reynolds will appear in the movie, maybe shoved into a corner somewhere, because Christ, there are a lot of people in this thing.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry, though: Those same mysterious (but apparently omniscient) sources confirm we\u2019re not going to see Wade Wilson finally achieving his dream of becoming an Avenger himself when Doomsday\u2018s December 18, 2026 release date rolls around. (Something Reynolds has said in the past<\/a> would basically end the character\u2019s arc\/viability as a protagonist.) None of this is exactly shocking, in any case: Make Bob Iger a billion dollars<\/a>, and you get an invite up from the kids\u2019 table.<\/p>\n

All of this has to, of course, be taken a) with a grain of salt, and b) with the overall understanding that we have absolutely no clue what form pretty much anything in this film will take. (The Russos have suggested it\u2019ll be kind of divisive when it arrives; we\u2019re still suspecting it\u2019ll pull some pretty hefty reality-altering shenanigans<\/a>, given how Robert Downey Jr.\u2019s Doctor Doom was chatting it up with cosmic baby Franklin Richards at the end of Fantastic Four: First Steps<\/a>, and the fact that the\u00a0Secret Wars\u00a0comic being namechecked by the movie\u2019s sequel is all about Doom turning himself into a briefly-tenured god.) We might think it might be nice to keep\u00a0some\u00a0of this casting stuff more secretive, but we are not Ryan Reynolds\u2019 Instagram account manager. (Yet!)<\/p>\n
