- The Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision newsletter reported sources confirming Deadpool’s appearance, while Deadline cited its own sources saying Reynolds has not been seen on the London set and is not currently set to appear.
- Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige previously said more cast members would be announced at a later date, leaving the roster for Avengers: Doomsday incomplete.
- Industry insiders note that Marvel’s history of late casting reveals and production changes means absence from call sheets or sets does not rule out a future cameo.
