Deadpool Star Ryan Reynolds Responds After Avengers: Doomsday Writing Credit Reportedly Revealed

Deadpool Star Ryan Reynolds has acknowledged yesterday’s report that he will get a writing credit on the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday.

Reynolds is listed alongside a variety of other contributors to Doomsday’s script via the Writers Guild of America’s website, though the extent to which Reynolds (and his Deadpool & Wolverine co-star Hugh Jackman, too) have actually added to Doomsday’s dialogue remains to be seen.

Doomsday is primarily written by Marvel veterans Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, who previously wrote both Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame. Today, however, Reynolds appears to have verified his additional involvement by issuing a brief but humorous response to the matter.

The Most Surprising Avengers and Marvel Characters Not Announced for Doomsday

In a post on X/Twitter, Reynolds quoted a post revealing that he and Jackman had written parts of Doomsday and added a short clip from Deadpool & Wolverine. The scene sees Reynolds chatting with Matthew Macfadyen’s Mr. Paradox, and declaring that he does not read.

The moment is likely just meant as a jokey nod to the fact that yes, in real life, Reynolds can indeed read and write and has done so on various projects. The Detective Pikachu star holds writing credits on Deadpool 2 and Deadpool & Wolverine, and has previously discussed working on a future Deadpool movie also.

It’s an intriguing situation, as Deadpool and Wolverine have technically not been officially confirmed to appear in Avengers: Doomsday, even though both Reynolds and Jackman have been busy promoting the movie via tongue-in-cheek promos at San Diego Comic-Con and D23 over the summer. Still, fans strongly expect the pair to appear, and leaks point to them having a small but significant presence in the film as various multiverses collide.

How many F-bombs will Kevin Feige let Reynolds sneak into Doomsday’s script? There’s not long until the movie arrives on December 18 and we find out.
