Are Ryan Reynolds and Robert Downey Jr. really feuding? A new report reveals the truth about their rumored clash on the set of Avengers: Doomsday.
The internet has been white hot with drama this past week. Perhaps the biggest example of this is the conversation around the feud between Ryan Reynolds and Robert Downey Jr on the set of Avengers: Doomsday. For those unaware, this is in reference to a rumor stating that two actors had a major fight on the set of the upcoming film, almost leading to major reshoots before making amends.
Following this rumor blowing up, the internet began to choose their sides. Some used this as an excuse to air their grievances about Ryan Reynolds recent career choices, while others used the report to show that Robert Downey Jr. was a diva that would singlehandedly crater Avengers: Doomsday. However, there seems to be some key details the internet missed.
Did Ryan Reynolds & Robert Downey Jr. Fight On The Set Of Avengers: Doomsday?
This drama mongering became so major that TMZ actually put out a report discussing the topic. And it seems that, perhaps shockingly to some, that the rumor was entirely overblown. According to their source close to the Avengers: Doomsday set, there’s no evidence that Robert Downey Jr. and Ryan Reynolds got into a fight, mostly due to the fact that the two actors have never met.
“A source with direct knowledge tells TMZ…Ryan and Robert know each other, sure…but here’s the problem with the rumor…they’ve never actually met in person! From what we hear…the two are friendly…and they even kicked around the idea of an RDJ cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine. During the pandemic, they also Zoomed for a celebrity fantasy football league to raise money for their chosen charities. Hardly adversarial.”
It’s also incredibly important to note that, even if this rumor was true, neither Ryan Reynolds nor Robert Downey Jr. were explicitly named in the initial report. All of this speculation simply started because many assumed that Reynolds would have made a joke about Downey’s drug history while filming Avengers: Doomsday– something there is currently no evidence of ever happening.
Avengers: Doomsday is set to hit theaters in December 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!
