Deadpool’s Return Teased for Avengers Doomsday: What Fans Need to Know

Introduction to Deadpool’s Return in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Marvel Studios didn’t want all the shine going to Sony and all the filming for Spider-Man. So, they decided to let Ryan Reynolds do his stealth marketing the way that Ryan Reynolds does on his social media. And he just teased Deadpool’s return in the upcoming Avengers Doomsday. We are going to get into some major spoilers in this article because this has technically already been confirmed, not just officially. We’re going to talk about where because we know the context and setting in which Deadpool returns, as well as other characters in Deadpool’s orbit. We’re breaking it all down in this latest official reveal via Ryan Reynolds.

Ryan Reynolds’ Social Media Tease Highlights Deadpool’s Role

Ryan Reynolds often uses his own social media to promote Marvel projects and Deadpool. Yesterday, he posted a photo of the Avengers logo with the Anarchy A over the top—the same logo from Deadpool and Wolverine.

This comes just weeks before the next round of rumored casting announcements for Avengers: Doomsday, expected on Wednesday, August 27th.

Spoiler Warning and Behind-the-Scenes Set Footage

Three months ago, aerial footage emerged showing Avengers: Doomsday filming sets. Alongside other sets that looked like the X-Men Mansion courtyard, rubble, and a Sentinel, was the set from Deadpool and Wolverine, where the characters face off against the Deadpool core.

X-Men Universe Integration and Wolverine’s Potential Return

This suggests the scene will be revisited, potentially picking up Deadpool—and very likely Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine. Industry speculation says Wolverine was among the very first characters the Russo brothers wanted when planning Avengers Doomsday.

Since Marvel is centralizing its X-Men characters in the Earth-10,05 universe, it’s hard to imagine Deadpool in Avengers Doomsday without Wolverine at his side. With Channing Tatum’s Gambit already tied to this storyline, their reunion to face Doctor Doom seems more likely.

The bigger question is how the Russos will use Deadpool’s humour within such a large ensemble.

How Deadpool’s Humour Could Influence Avengers Doomsday

Deadpool tends to undercut serious moments with irreverent jokes and fourth wall breaks, shifting the tone of any scene.

While characters like Thor and Rocket Raccoon use humour for relief, Deadpool’s tone is closer to Tony Stark — but more disruptive. Wolverine’s serious and brooding nature may fit Doomsday’s tone more easily.

Deadpool’s Respect for the MCU’s Sacred Timeline

In Deadpool and Wolverine, we saw that Deadpool takes joining the Earth-616 Sacred Timeline seriously. Fighting alongside the Avengers might inspire him to rein in his antics — though not completely.

Rated R Characters and The Challenge of PG-13 Films

Marvel Studios and Sony have acknowledged that characters like John Bernthal’s Punisher and Deadpool will need toning down in PG-13 films. This means less graphic violence and profanity while keeping humour intact.

There’s likely room for one strategic F-bomb in Avengers Doomsday, but Deadpool’s usual style would blow past that limit quickly. Expect dialogue adjustments to keep his humour but avoid excess vulgarity.

Looking Ahead: Anticipation Builds for Avengers Doomsday

With the August 27 casting announcement approaching, fans are eager for confirmation of Deadpool and Wolverine in Avengers Doomsday. Their pairing could be a game-changer for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
