Marvel’s next Avengers film, “Avengers: Doomsday,” shows writing credits in the Writers Guild of America (WGA) directory that include Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. Multiple outlets say the updated listing has strengthened speculation that their characters—Deadpool and Wolverine—will appear in the movie.
All five sources describe the same basic development: the WGA credits for “Doomsday” list Reynolds and Jackman alongside other writers. Variety and IndieWire both focus on the total number of credited writers, while IGN and ComingSoon.net frame the credits as evidence that casting may be “definite” or “confirmed.” Gizmodo highlights the “surprising” nature of marquee performers being credited for writing.
While the outlets generally agree on what the credits imply, they differ in how strongly they phrase the character-return angle. None of the summaries claim an official Marvel announcement about Deadpool or Wolverine roles beyond the writing-credit information.
