Ryan Reynolds made a surprise appearance as Deadpool at San Diego Comic Con. In character, the 49-year-old asked for a role in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday before Robert Downey Jr, who stars as Doctor Doom, told him it had already been filmed.
Exchange on Stage
Appearing from the crowd, Reynolds said: “This seems an awfully expensive way to announce a film. When do you start filming?” To which Downey Jr, surrounded by the rest of the film’s cast on stage, replied: “It’s in the can bro, look around you, did you bump your head?”
Reynolds, who wore a darker Deadpool outfit, added: “I see, so there’s no additional photography, overages, hot costs, maybe last-minute additions? Happy Hogan, fetch the Audi we’re leaving.” The actor then dropped the microphone and left the San Diego venue’s Hall H.
