Two of Marvel’s huge figures, Robert Downey Jr. and Ryan Reynolds, reportedly had a feud on the set of Avengers: Doomsday, with different rumors emerging about the supposed conflict. Some claims stated that the Iron Man star and the Deadpool actor had a falling-out while working together, and it snowballed into a big rift in the production.
But, is there any truth to these reports and rumors, and if so, what really happened between the two Hollywood juggernauts?
Are Robert Downey Jr. and Ryan Reynolds really fighting on Avengers: Doomsday’s set?
No, Robert Downey Jr. and Ryan Reynolds do not seem to be fighting on the sets of Avengers: Doomsday and are not involved in any kind of feud, as per a report.
Contrary to the misleading rumors circulating online, especially on social media platforms, a source told PEOPLE exclusively that there is “zero bad blood” between Reynolds and Downey. The source further confirmed that the two actors have not even met in person yet.
While Robert Downey Jr. is going to play the primary antagonist in Avengers: Doomsday, Doctor Doom, Ryan Reynolds’ character, Deadpool, is not among the many named for the film. Though the X-Men are making their way to the MCU, and Deadpool and Wolverine effectively merged more of the universes, there is still no official news about the loud-mouth mercenary making his Avengers debut.
As Reynolds has not even been confirmed for the movie, it is even more unlikely for the actor to come to the set of Doomsday and have a feud with the Iron Man actor. It seems the narrative is being spread through social media platforms, and there is no truth to any feud on the set of the new Avengers movie.
Notably, Avengers: Doomsday is set to feature a huge cast, which includes many of the previous Avengers, many characters from X-Men, and many new additions like the Thunderbolts and the Fantastic Four. It remains one of the most exciting projects from Marvel in years.
Avengers: Doomsday will premiere on December 18, 2026.
