Ryan Reynolds has sparked speculation about the future of Deadpool within the Marvel universe, suggesting that a formal inclusion in either the Avengers or the X-Men would signal the end of the character's journey. In a recent interview with Time, Reynolds stated, "If Deadpool becomes an Avenger or an X-Man, we're at the end. That's wish fulfillment, and you can't give him that." This comment comes in the wake of the successful release of Deadpool & Wolverine, where Deadpool's desire to join the Avengers was a central theme.
Despite the absence of Reynolds' name from the confirmed cast list for Avengers: Doomsday, the film is set to feature a heavy presence of veteran X-Men actors. Notable names include Kelsey Grammer as Beast, Patrick Stewart as Professor X, Ian McKellen as Magneto, Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler, Rebecca Romijn as Mystique, and James Marsden as Cyclops. This has led to speculation that Avengers: Doomsday might be setting the stage for an Avengers vs. X-Men storyline.
Reynolds hinted at a possible cameo role for Deadpool in future Marvel projects, citing the positive fan reaction to Wesley Snipes' appearance as Blade in Deadpool & Wolverine. He also mentioned working on a new project involving an ensemble cast, though he remained tight-lipped about the details. This could potentially lead to another Deadpool film featuring a range of cameos, similar to its predecessor, with characters like Channing Tatum's Gambit, Jennifer Garner's Elektra, and Dafne Keen's Laura Kinney/X-23 possibly returning.
As for Avengers: Doomsday, while much remains under wraps, the confirmed cast and recent comments from stars like Anthony Mackie, Paul Rudd, and Joseph Quinn suggest a return to the classic Marvel feel. A set photo leak has also stirred discussions about the implications for the X-Men within the film. Additionally, Oscar Isaac's absence from a Star Wars event due to scheduling conflicts has fueled rumors of his potential appearance as Moon Knight. Marvel Studios producer Kevin Feige has confirmed that the revealed cast list for Avengers: Doomsday is not exhaustive, hinting at more surprises to come.
