Is Deadpool joining the Avengers? Ryan Reynolds posted a cryptic image on Instagram last night that suggests his foul-mouthed character may be teaming up with Earth’s mightiest heroes in the forthcoming Avengers: Doomsday or Avengers: Secret Wars.
Reynolds shared a photo of the Avengers black and white logo, which has been covered with a red spray-painted “A” that appears to be the work of Deadpool. Fans were quick to jump on the potential crossover, with many commenting about their excitement.

Marvel revealed the enormous cast of Avengers: Doomsday in a livestream in March. Directors Joe and Anthony Russo had previously heralded the return of the franchise’s beloved actor, Robert Downey Jr., during an appearance at San Diego Comic-Con in 2024. Downey Jr. will play villain Doctor Doom (despite his longtime character Iron Man dying in Avengers: Endgame), who recently popped up in the post-credits scene in Fantastic Four: First Steps.
Earlier this year, Reynolds shot down speculation that Deadpool would be part of an Avengers film. “If Deadpool becomes an Avenger or an X-Man, we’re at the end,” the actor told Time. “That’s wish fulfillment, and you can’t give him that.” He added, “I’m writing a little something right now, that’s, I don’t know, it’s an ensemble. But, I like that [Deadpool] is isolated.”
Deadpool last appeared onscreen in 2024’s Deadpool & Wolverine, which reunited Reynolds’ beloved character with Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine. In a review of the film, Rolling Stone noted that the movie by introducing the characters into the MCU, it was “signaling a bold new step towards total superhero-property synergy.”
In May, Marvel Studios announced that Avengers: Doomsday had been moved back from May 1, 2026, to Dec. 18, 2026, while its follow-up will now arrive in theaters on Dec. 17, 2027 instead of May 7, 2027.
