Ryan Reynolds surprises fans with Deadpool appearance at San Diego Comic-Con
San Diego, July 26
Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds made a surprise appearance in full 'Deadpool' costume during Marvel Studios' Hall H presentation at San Diego Comic-Con, delighting fans gathered for updates on the Marvel Cinematic Universe's upcoming films, according to People.
Reynolds took the stage during Marvel's presentation for 'Avengers: Doomsday', which is set to feature X-Men characters in the MCU for the first time. He was joined by cast members including Robert Downey Jr. and Paul Rudd.
Although Marvel has not confirmed Reynolds' involvement in 'Avengers: Doomsday', the actor jokingly asked his fellow cast members whether filming was about to begin.
Downey Jr. replied, "It's in the can, bro."
"Look around you," Downey added, gesturing to the packed Hall H audience. "Did you bump your head?," according to People.
Playing along, Reynolds responded, "I see. So there's no additional photography, no overages, maybe last-minute additions...?"
Reynolds last portrayed Wade Wilson in 2024's 'Deadpool & Wolverine', which grossed more than USD 1.3 billion worldwide, according to People.
Fans have been eagerly awaiting news about the future of the popular antihero. Earlier this year, Reynolds revealed during Today's Sunday Sitdown Live that he had begun drafting the next Deadpool project.
More recently, at Fanatics Fest NYC, the actor hinted that another 'Deadpool' film is in development.
"There's a few really deep cuts that are missing from the movies, I think there's a few deep cuts missing from some of the comics," Reynolds said.
He added, "There's certainly some stuff that I love that Fabian [Nicieza] wrote that is incredible. Gerry Duggan is a friend and an incredible comic book writer. There's stuff coming, there eventually will be another Deadpool film."
While Reynolds has previously indicated he is not rushing into a conventional 'Deadpool 4', he has repeatedly suggested that he is developing a different kind of Marvel project featuring Wade Wilson alongside characters from the X-Men universe, according to People.
'Avengers: Doomsday' is scheduled to release in theatres on December 18.

Honestly, I never got the hype around Deadpool—too much meta humor for my taste. But I respect how Ryan Reynolds keeps surprising fans. Still, I hope Marvel doesn't just rely on cameos to sell 'Doomsday'. Give us a solid story, please.
San Diego Comic-Con is a dream for any Marvel fan, and this appearance just proves why Ryan Reynolds owns the role. The banter with Downey Jr. was pure gold. Bollywood should take notes—our stars rarely surprise fans like this at events. Big respect! 🇮🇳🎬
Wait—'Avengers: Doomsday' with X-Men? And Deadpool? This is going to be epic! But I'm curious: How are they going to integrate all these characters without it feeling like a mess? Ryan's hinted at a different kind of project, which gives me hope. Fingers crossed for 2025! 🤞
I'm just glad Deadpool is finally in the MCU properly. The 'Deadpool & Wolverine' movie was amazing—$1.3 billion worldwide? That's insane! Ryan knows what fans want, and he's not rushing a sequel just for the money. Take notes from him, Hollywood! 😎
Ryan Reynolds and Robert Downey Jr. together on stage? That's a moment for the history books! The 'bumped your head' joke had me rolling. And the fact that he's writing the next Deadpool project himself? That's dedication. Marvel fans in India are so
