Ryan Reynolds Explains Deadpool Avengers Logo That Started Doomsday Rumors

Deadpool & Wolverine star Ryan Reynolds has finally broken his silence about the Avengers logo he posted on Instagram nearly a month ago. The post ultimately went viral as it seemingly teased Deadpool’s potential appearance in Avengers: Doomsday, which is still set to debut on December 18, 2026.

What did Ryan Reynolds say about his Avengers logo post?

During a recent interview with Collider, when asked about his viral post’s connection to his possible involvement in Avengers: Doomsday, Reynolds explained that he actually posted one of his favorite props from Deadpool & Wolverine that didn’t make it into the final cut.

“The thing I posted on social that is actually a variant of the flag that we use in Deadpool & Wolverine,” Reynolds said. “It was my favorite. For some reason, you watch a movie later that has that many alts and all that stuff, and you go, ‘Why didn’t I choose that one? There were five other great jokes for that.’ That’s how it works, and that was just a flag. I just came across it, and I was like, ‘Oh yeah, I loved that flag. The red and black vibe.’ And then, you know, there’s always talk. We’re figuring out what’s next in that world and blah, blah, blah.”

Despite his explanation, Reynolds didn’t exactly reveal the reason why he decided to just post it now, especially when production on Doomsday is currently underway. Interestingly, he also didn’t directly deny or confirm the rumors about Deadpool’s role in the next Avengers movie. However, he did tease that they’re still “figuring out” what’s next for his character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Avengers: Doomsday is being directed by Avengers: Endgame filmmakers Joe and Anthony Russo from a screenplay written by Stephen McFeely. The latest installment will feature the return of Marvel vets Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Hemsworth, with Chris Evans rumored to appear. However, this time, the Oppenheimer actor will be playing a completely different role in the form of Victor von Doom/Doctor Doom. The ensemble cast will also include Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Paul Rudd, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Florence Pugh, Letitia Wright, Tenoch Huerta Mejia, Kelsey Grammer, Lewis Pullman, David Harbour, Wyatt Russell, and Danny Ramirez, along with X-Men stars Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier, Ian McKellen‘s Magneto, Alan Cumming‘s Nightcrawler, Rebecca Romijn‘s Mystique, James Marsden‘s Cyclops, and Channing Tatum‘s Gambit.
