Are Deadpool and Wolverine already on their way back to the MCU? A new rumor suggests the duo will officially make their return in Avengers: Doomsday.
It’s no exaggeration to say that Deadpool and Wolverine was a smash hit for the MCU. What was meant to be a victory lap for Hugh Jackman’s time as the Canadian Klawman turned into the highest grossing R-rated movie of all time. Despite the film giving the two anti-heroes a happy ending, fans couldn’t help but wonder if the two would make a return before the multiverse saga draws to a close.
The answer seems to be yes! A rumor from insider DanielRPK reveals that both Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine are set to make their return in Avengers: Doomsday. It’s unclear how the two heroes will play in the MCU’s big crossover event. Though given how successful their film was, it’s likely Marvel will try their best to make their cameos at least big enough to be able to slap them on the poster.
Deadpool And Wolverine’s Role In Avengers: Doomsday
It’s possible that, despite Deadpool and Wolverine leading a film together, the two will play different roles in Avengers: Doomsday. Fans have long called for “Team Red” to unite in the MCU, with that being a trio comprised of Daredevil, Spider-Man and Deadpool. With Charlie Cox all-but-confirmed to appear in the film, it could be that the Merc with a Mouth forges his own path with his PG-13 pals.
As for Wolverine, he’d probably take any excuse to get away from Deadpool, and the end of the multiverse is certainly a good one! It’s possible that the reluctant hero joins the titular team in Avengers: Doomsday given the character’s longstanding relationship with them in the comics. It’s also possible that Hugh Jackman sets off on his own mission to recruit X-Men from across the multiverse, officially folding the team into the MCU.
Avengers: Doomsday is set to hit theaters in May 2026. Stay tuned for the latest news regarding the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel for more content!
