During the Marvel portion of Disney’s massive Friday night presentation at the 2026 D23 Expo in Anaheim, California, Wolverine star Hugh Jackman came in with a surprise video for those in attendance. Jackman’s co-star Ryan Reynolds later shared the 73-second video on his X account after fan videos of it began to leak online. While Reynolds argued with Jackman about making the video, Jackman asked Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige if he needed any help “rounding out the cast” of Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Doomsday.
From here, Jackman tried to explain to Reynolds that there are already 28 stars confirmed for this movie and asked, “Why the hell would they need us?” Reynolds called them “the golden ones” and “special” before urging him to continue, before Jackman told Feige he would “love to join” and “might be able to convince Ryan to appear” in the movie as well.
