While promoting his upcoming documentary film “John Candy: I Like Me” at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival, actor Ryan Reynolds was asked by Collider about his potential involvement in the scientific-action movie “Avengers: Doomsday.”
Referring to the red and black Avengers logo he had posted on his Instagram account, Reynolds responded, “The thing I posted on social, that is actually a variant of the flag that we use in ‘Deadpool & Wolverine.’”
The Hollywood actor explained, “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.”
Recalling fans’ online comments, Reynolds told the outlet, “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. You’ll know first, Steve. You always do.”
At the time, the 48-year-old actor had already wittily denied his involvement in the movie in an interview with Deadline, stating, “Of course, I’ve written them all at home in my PJs, and nobody’s seen ’em, nor have I stepped foot on set. But, yeah, that’s about as far as I’ll go on that one.”
For those unfamiliar with the cast, the superhero movie includes Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Pedro Pascal as Mr. Fantastic, Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom, and Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm. “Avengers: Doomsday” is set to be released on May 1, 2026.
