A new rumor surrounding the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday seems to confirm the inclusion of a previously reported character, as well as two other additional heroes.
What is the latest Avengers: Doomsday rumor?
In a recent post on social media, fans asked insider Alex Perez of The Cosmic Circus about the recent conflicting reports around Ryan Reynolds’ inclusion in the movie. THR originally reported that he would be in the film, but Deadline seemed to suggest otherwise.
When asked, Perez backed up THR’s claim, noting Reynolds would be in the movie. He also teased the inclusion of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine and Dafne Keen’s X-23, saying “they’re in” and sharing GIFs of all three heroes.
Jackman returned to the role of Wolverine for 2024’s Deadpool & Wolverine. Alongside Jackman, a ton other former X-Men cast members will be in Doomsday as well, so it’s likely we get a reunion of sorts in some way.
