During last night's epic Avengers: Doomsday panel, there was an unexpected guest in the audience: Deadpool & Wolverine star Ryan Reynolds! In full costume, Reynolds gate-crashed the event and asked Earth's Mightiest Heroes a few questions that were met with laughs and cheers.
Following the appearance, Reynolds shared a few behind-the-scenes photos of himself wearing the black-and-grey suit, naming it 'Jeanpool,' and revealing how he spent the whole day wandering San Diego Comic-Con and taking photos with unsuspecting fans before his big appearance in Hall H.
While Kevin Feige stopped short of confirming Deadpool's involvement in the new movie, Reynolds did seemingly allude to possibly being a late addition to the massive crossover flick. He first asked the Russo Brothers and the Doomsday cast when they would begin filming, to which Robert Downey Jr. cheekily replied they'd already wrapped. A disappointed Deadpool then asked, "So there’s no additional photography, no overages, maybe last-minute additions...?," leaving the audience laughing and speculating whether that was a subtle confirmation.
There's been ample buzz that both Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman will reprise their roles as Deadpool and Wolverine in the opening of Avengers: Doomsday, possibly appearing opposite Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man. While that is certainly an exciting prospect, there hasn't been anything yet to confirm this will indeed be the case.
Check out the 'Jeanpool' suit below:
