Ryan Reynolds insisted that he will not be appearing in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” amid fan speculations that his Marvel character Deadpool is in the film’s poster.
Reynolds “promised” that his appearance in the Doctor Strange sequel is not happening, as per an exclusive interview of Variety during the special screening of his upcoming movie “The Adam Project” yesterday, Feb. 16. The speculations arose after some fans pointed out that a supposed Deadpool is featured in a piece of shattered glass in the movie poster.
“I guess I’m not really supposed to say anything about that but I’m really not in the movie,” he said. “It could be another lie but I promise you, I’m not in the movie.”
Though he did not give much details about it, Reynolds said that the third “Deadpool” movie is “coming along.”
Meanwhile, Reynolds marked the sixth anniversary of the film by showing throwback behind-the-scenes photos on his Instagram page last Sunday, Feb. 13.
“Six years today. Iron Anniversary. [Deadpool 1],” the actor said.
“Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” recently dropped its second trailer which features Doctor Strange as he tries to contain the aftermath of the forbidden spell he cast in “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” The film, set for release on May 6, stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Elizabeth Olsen, Benedict Wong and Rachel McAdams, among others.
