Deadpool and Wolverine might be heading back into the Marvel multiverse — and fans think they’ve found a pretty interesting clue.
Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman have both appeared in the Writers Guild of America directory among the contributors to Avengers: Doomsday.
The discovery has sent Marvel fans into detective mode, with speculation growing that the two could reprise their roles in the upcoming blockbuster.

There’s a catch, though: their names appear under “additional literary materials,” not the film’s main writing credits.
That category recognises Guild-contracted writers who contributed to a movie but did not qualify for a traditional primary writing credit.
So, while the listing confirms writing contributions, it doesn’t establish whether either actor will appear on screen — or how much dialogue they may have written.
Reynolds has previous writing credits on Deadpool 2 and Deadpool & Wolverine. For Jackman, meanwhile, this is his first writing credit.
The film’s main screenplay is credited to Marvel veteran Stephen McFeely and Loki creator Michael Waldron.
Several other writers are listed for additional material, including Eric Pearson, Chris McKenna, Destin Daniel Cretton — and now Reynolds and Jackman.
Reynolds also appeared to tease the discovery with a cryptic X post featuring a video from Deadpool & Wolverine.
Marvel has not confirmed what the credits mean, and Variety said it had contacted representatives for the studio and both actors.
One important detail: the WGA warns that some directory information is self-reported and not independently verified.
