Earlier, Ryan Reynolds ignited fresh speculation that Deadpool could be joining the Avengers, after posting an image blending the Avengers’ “A” logo with the anarchist “A” on social media.

The Deadpool & Wolverine star offered no caption, but the visual immediately sent Marvel fans into overdrive, interpreting it as a nod towards a possible role in Avengers: Doomsday or Avengers: Secret Wars.
