Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman credited for screenplay for Avengers: Doomsday!

Will Deadpool and Wolverine reunite with the Avengers? The two actors appear in any case among the ten screenwriters credited on the next Marvel blockbuster, expected in December 2026.

This is a clue that risks reviving speculation among MCU fans.

Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are among the ten authors credited for Avengers: Doomsday in the directory of the Writers Guild of America (WGA), the American screenwriters’ union. Enough to fuel the hope of finding Deadpool and Wolverine in the next big Marvel event, even if their presence on screen is not officially confirmed.

The main screenplay credits go to Stephen McFeely, a Marvel veteran already at work on several films of the Avengersand Michael Waldron, creator of Loki and screenwriter of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman appear in the additional literary contributions category, alongside Eric Pearson, Chris McKenna, Erik Sommers, Jeff Loveness, Andrew Lanham and Destin Daniel Cretton.

For Reynolds, this is not a first: he had already participated in the writing of Deadpool 2 And Deadpool & Wolverine. On the other hand, this is the first screenwriting credit for Hugh Jackman. Did the Wolverine actor participate in some of his character’s dialogue? Did the two actors simply bring ideas to the team? Impossible to know at this stage. The WGA specifies that this category distinguishes authors who contributed to the writing of a feature film without obtaining main credit on the screenplay.

Ryan Reynolds also reacted in his own way on X, by publishing a video taken from Deadpool & Wolverineaccompanied by a joke: “Without wanting to brag, I don’t read.” Deadpool as hell. Enough to reinforce the idea that they will be happy too…

Directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, Avengers: Doomsday will be released in French theaters on December 16, 2026.
