Reynolds and Jackman Listed as Doomsday Contributors

The Writers Guild of America directory lists Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman among 10 contributors to the additional literary material for Avengers: Doomsday, but the credit does not confirm that either actor will appear on screen.

The listing places Reynolds and Jackman in a category labeled “Additional Literary Material not onscreen,” alongside Stephen McFeely, Michael Waldron, Eric Pearson, Chris McKenna, Erik Sommers, Jeff Loveness, Andrew Lanham and Destin Daniel Cretton. McFeely and Waldron hold the film’s primary screenplay credits.

The designation recognizes writing contributions that do not qualify for a primary writing credit. It does not establish how much material Reynolds or Jackman supplied, or whether their contributions will be used in the finished film. The directory also cautions that some database information is self-reported and not independently verified by the guilds.

Reynolds responded to a social-media post drawing attention to the credits by reposting it with a clip from Deadpool & Wolverine. The response did not explicitly confirm an appearance in Doomsday. Neither actor has been officially confirmed as a member of the film’s cast, according to the reports.
