\n\tThe chances that Ryan Reynolds<\/a> and Hugh Jackman<\/a> could be back as Deadpool and Wolverine in \u201cAvengers: Doomsday<\/a>\u201d may be getting higher.<\/p>\n

\n\tEagle-eyed Marvel fans combed through the Writer\u2019s Guild of America\u2019s directory<\/a> and spotted the screenwriting credits for \u201cDoomsday,\u201d which lists Reynolds and Jackman among the 10 writers who contributed to the movie. Notably, Reynolds was one of the writers on \u201cDeadpool 2\u201d and \u201cDeadpool & Wolverine,\u201d while this marks Jackman\u2019s first writing credit.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe main feature writing credits on \u201cDoomsday\u201d go to Marvel veteran Stephen McFeely and Michael Waldron, creator of \u201cLoki\u201d and writer of \u201cDoctor Strange Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.\u201d The credits for additional literary materials (not on screen) go to McFeely, Waldron, Eric Pearson, Chris McKenna, Erik Sommers, Jeff Loveness, Andrew Lanham, Destin Daniel Cretton, Reynolds and Jackman.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSpider-Man: Brand New Day\u201d director Cretton had originally been tapped to helm the film when it was known as \u201cThe Kang Dynasty\u201d with Loveness to write \u2014 but it was later reworked after Kang the Conqueror actor Jonathan Majors was fired by Disney. After Cretton had stepped down from the film, the Russo Bros. came on board with McFeely, McKenna, Sommers and Waldron to shift the focus to Robert Downey Jr.\u2019s Doctor Doom as the main villain.<\/p>\n

\n\tVariety has reached out to reps for Marvel, Reynolds and Jackman for comment. Reynolds also appeared to weigh in on the writing credits with a cryptic X post of a video from \u201cDeadpool & Wolverine.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe writing credits for Reynolds and Jackman certainly seem like they would be for writing dialogue for their \u201cX-Men\u201d characters, but it\u2019s unclear if or how much they would appear in \u201cDoomsday.\u201d The website defines the additional literary material as \u201can official film credit introduced by the Writers Guild of America to recognize Guild-contracted writers who contributed writing services to a theatrical feature but did not qualify for a traditional primary writing credit.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe WGA directory also has this caveat: \u201cThe information contained in the \u2018Find a Writer\u2019 database is the most current and accurate available to Writers Guild of America West (WGAW) and Writers Guild of America, East (WGAE). Some of the data is self-reported by writers and not independently verified by WGAW and WGAE.
