Ryan Reynolds' Avengers: Doomsday Ambush at SDCC

Ryan Reynolds caused a stir at San Diego Comic-Con when he unexpectedly appeared during the Avengers: Doomsday panel. Dressed in his iconic Deadpool suit, Reynolds engaged in a playful, humorous exchange with the directors and fellow actors. He humorously inquired about the film's production status and referenced a scene involving Thor, referencing a moment from the recently released Deadpool & Wolverine.

Despite the on-stage banter, Reynolds' presence at the panel has fueled ongoing speculation about his potential involvement in Avengers: Doomsday. The actor, whose anti-hero character was last seen in the highly successful Deadpool vs. Wolverine, has not been officially confirmed for the upcoming Marvel film.

Earlier in July 2026, Reynolds had confirmed that a new Deadpool film was in development. The Marvel panel also featured other significant announcements, including Ryan Gosling teasing a Ghost Rider movie and director Ryan Coogler revealing David Jonsson as T'Challa's adult son in Black Panther 3, slated for a 2028 release.
