Ryan Reynolds crashes Marvel's Comic-Con panel as denim-clad Deadpool in bid to join 'Avengers: Doomsday'

Ryan Reynolds came to the 2026 San Diego Comic-Con with one mission: getting Deadpool into the 'Avengers' group chat. The actor pulled up in a denim Deadpool costume, blended in as a fan, and then casually jumped into Marvel's Hall H panel. After the 'Avengers: Doomsday' cast hit the stage, Reynolds hilariously fired off questions that made it seem like Wade Wilson was making his case to join Marvel's biggest heroes. Classic Deadpool chaos followed, with Reynolds turning a surprise appearance into one of Comic-Con's most entertaining moments.

When Ryan Reynolds was asked if he had a question during Marvel's panel, he stayed in full Deadpool mode and had a few jokes ready. Addressing Paul Rudd, he asked, “I do have a question, actually. Two questions. First question is for Paul Rudd. Where’s Thor and why was he crying?” Rudd responded with a playful Wrexham reference, saying, “Where is Thor? And why is Thor crying? Uh, he’s a Wrexham fan,” taking a dig at Reynolds’ soccer team.

Reynolds kept the Deadpool frenzy going during Marvel's panel with another hilarious question. Staying in character, he jokingly acted like he was trying to uncover behind-the-scenes details about 'Avengers: Doomsday' and questioned Marvel's big announcement strategy. “Second question,” Ryan continued. “Moving on. This seems like an awfully expensive way to announce the film. Uh, when do you start filming?” RDJ quickly shut down the joke, replying, “It’s in the can, bro; look around you. Did you bump your head?” Not giving up, Reynolds continued his fake investigation by asking about possible extra work on the film. “I see,” Ryan says. “So, there’s no additional photography? No overages, high costs, maybe last-minute additions?” After getting his answer, Reynolds accepted defeat in true Deadpool fashion and simply said, “No further questions.”

While Deadpool's spot in 'Avengers: Doomsday' is still a mystery, fans and rumors have been keeping the possibility alive that Reynolds' chaotic anti-hero could crash the Marvel lineup. Although there has been no official confirmation, Reynolds recently teased the future of the franchise during an appearance at Fanatics Fest, revealing that another Deadpool movie is definitely on the way at some point. For now, fans are left wondering if Wade Wilson will make his next big Marvel move with 'Avengers: Doomsday.'

Ryan Reynolds' surprise Comic-Con appearance had fans feeling like Marvel might be cooking up something big. The actor brought Deadpool back to the spotlight after the character's latest adventure, 'Deadpool & Wolverine', where he teamed up with Hugh Jackman and smashed expectations with a massive $1.3 billion global box office run. Now, Reynolds' unexpected return has everyone wondering if Wade Wilson has another wild Marvel surprise waiting.
