Ryan Reynolds claims he isn’t involved in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022). After fans believed they spotted Deadpool in the official poster, the actor has publicly stated he is not part of the project. Reynolds starred as Wade Wilson/Deadpool in Deadpool (2016) and Deadpool 2 (2018) with a third film in the works. After the official trailer for Doctor Strange 2 was released during the Super Bowl LVI, fans have spotted numerous new characters and variants. Doctor Strange 2 is building up to be the most ambitious project for Marvel — fans already believe it will be better than Avengers: Endgame (2019).
Now fans believe that the official poster for Doctor Strange 2 has Deadpool in it. The Merc with a Mouth has already been confirmed to be in the MCU with Kevin Feige saying that Deadpool 3 is in the works. Variety asked Reynolds earlier if he would be in Doctor Strange 2. The actor insisted that he had no role in the movie:
When asked if he was lying, Reynolds restated his point:
“I’m promising, I’m not in the movie.”
Knowing how secretive Marvel is, it wouldn’t be out of the question if Deadpool did have a cameo in the movie. After seeing Charlie Cox reprise his role as Matt Murdock/Daredevil and both Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield return as Peter Parker/Spider-Man after denying their cameos for months (and months) fans know that anything is possible.
Reynolds can join the long list of actors denying their involvement, but it won’t stop fans from believing there is a chance the Merc With a Mouth will appear.
Doctor Strange 2 is directed by Sam Raimi and stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Stephen Strange/Doctor Strange in the main timeline, but he will also play other variants in the movie such as Zombie Strange, Defender Strange, and Strange Supreme. The movie will also star Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlet Witch/Wanda Maximoff, America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez), Wong as the Sorcerer Supreme (Benedict Wong), Mordo, (Chiwetel Ejiofor), Rintrah (Adam Hugill), Charles Xavier/Professor X (Sir Patrick Stewart), and potentially other characters from the Marvel universe.
The MCU is just beginning to add more superhero teams into the Marvel universe because now, the Avengers need all the help they can get. It is only a matter of time before we see the Young Avengers, Illuminati, Defenders, Midnight Sons, X-Men, Fantastic Four, and the Thunderbolts enter the MCU.
