Ryan Reynolds & Robert Downey Jr.
‘Doomsday’ Feud Is Superhero Hooey!!!
Published
Speculation that Ryan Reynolds and Robert Downey Jr. had a massive blowup on the set of “Avengers: Doomsday” has spread like wildfire online … but the rumors aren’t just a load of crap — there’s no way it could have happened, TMZ has learned.
Here’s the deal … the internet subculture devoted to Marvel conjecture cooked up a story that there was a verbal fight on the set of ‘Doomsday’ between two mega stars … and fingers were inexplicably pointed at RR and RDJ. Why them? No clue.
A source with direct knowledge tells TMZ … Ryan and Robert know each other, sure … but here’s the problem with the rumor — they’ve never actually met in person!
From what we hear … the two are friendly — and they even kicked around the idea of an RDJ cameo in “Deadpool & Wolverine.” During the pandemic, they also Zoomed for a celebrity fantasy football league to raise money for their chosen charities. Hardly adversarial.
Our source tells us … Ryan has nothing but respect and adulation for RDJ. And it’s also worth noting that RR has not even been confirmed to reprise Deadpool in ‘Doomsday’ … a lot of casting for the flick is all speculation at this point!
We’ve reached out to reps for RR, RDJ and Marvel for comment … so far, no word back.
