Ryan Reynolds has sent Marvel fans into a frenzy with a cryptic tease about a major development at Marvel Studios.

The mysterious post quickly went viral, leaving fans to decode its meaning and fueling massive hype for the upcoming MCU chapter.
Ryan Reynolds to Join the Avengers?
The comments section exploded with speculation. One fan pleaded, “Please tell me this is a sign,” while another asked, “Alright, what are you up to?” An excited admirer wrote, “If you’re saying what I think you’re saying, I’m actually gonna scream,” while another cautioned, “Don’t do that. Don’t give me hope.”
In a past interview with Time, Ryan addressed the idea of Deadpool joining the Avengers or X-Men, saying, “If Deadpool becomes an Avenger or an X-Man, we’re at the end. That’s wish fulfillment, and you can’t give him that.”
Hugh Jackman’s Take
Meanwhile, Hugh Jackman — beloved as Wolverine — was also asked about appearing in Avengers: Doomsday. His playful but vague reply was: “I really can’t say much, except when you say ‘appear,’ it’s more like dominate and destroy every other character — I’m kidding. I really have nothing to add, and if I did, I’d find a cool way not to say it. But I actually have nothing to add.”
