According to People, there is “zero bad blood” between Downey and Reynolds, as sources tell the outlet the two actors “have never met in person.” Rumors about a Downey vs. Reynolds feud seem to have stemmed from speculation about “a joke gone too far” on the Doomsday set, causing issues between cast members. With little to go off of, people theorized the parties in question might have been Downey and Reynolds.
Will Ryan Reynolds Return as Deadpool in Avengers: Doomsday?
It remains to be seen if Reynolds will even play Deadpool in the upcoming Avengers movie. Earlier this month, reports stated Reynolds would reprise his iconic role in Doomsday, though Deadpool wouldn’t be part of the official Avengers team. However, Reynolds’ involvement has yet to be confirmed by Marvel Studios. The only member of the Deadpool & Wolverine cast revealed during the record-breaking Doomsday cast announcement livestream from earlier this year was Channing Tatum as Gambit.
If Reynolds does return, there’s no guarantee he’d even cross paths with Downey on set anyway. Doomsday is a very complex production, and figuring out the logistics has been a bit of an adventure. Alan Cumming, who’s reprising his X-Men role as Nightcrawler, shared that he “did the entire film in isolation” and didn’t know which characters he’d be sharing the screen with. It’s possible Reynolds and Downey were on set at different times and shot their scenes separately. With an ensemble this large, not everyone in Doomsday is going to have screen time together.
