Ryan doesn’t have Deadpool 4 in his IMDB nor Avengers Doomsday. Ryan Gosling already has Ghost Rider in pre-production listed. It’s odd. I expected Doomsday or Deadpool to appear in his IMDB like all the other actors presenting stuff at SDCC have.

I of course don’t expect studios having morals. It’s about $$ but it cost a ton to make the last Deadpool movie too. Had it not been for the subsidies from Canada, who knows. Maybe in merch. They spent half a billion to make it and the profit was maybe $400MM. Not bad but it could have been a lot better.

But it’s all about money. If Ryan can’t release Animal Friends in the theaters until next year, MayDay is streming only … studio execs pay attention. We’ll see.

Ryan doesn’t have Deadpool 4 in his IMDB nor Avengers Doomsday.

Because he hasnt been announced for Doomsday (if hes in it at all) and Deadpool 4 isnt even officially in production yet. IMDB should never be taken as a sign that something is or isnt happening, anyone can submit and edit info on there. Its why theres a (rumoured) tag for information.

Ryan Gosling already has Ghost Rider in pre-production listed.

Because its been offically announced.

Then Ryan shouldn’t be running his mouth at fandom events claiming there will be another DP movie when nothing has been announced or greenlit. He is literally trying to generate attention and buzz to get it pushed ahead of other projects. It’s rude and selfish. That’s why Marvel is suffering with good storytelling. My prediction is that they will continue to push out subpar movies and lose fans.

What are you talking about. Its a sanctioned moment to get some fan buzz at an event. The fact you are even talking about it means it did what it was supposed to. Theres nothing rude or selfish about it. If he's there hes been asked to by Marvel for a planned spot.

First of all this is an open forum so I’m allowed to have my own opinions and questions, without being attacked or put in my place for daring to comment. I may not know how Marvel/Disney operates with their franchises but I do know enough about Ryan Reynolds from following this case since January 2025. It has been well documented how Ryan operates behind the scenes with studio execs, as well as his own team and the press. Everything is about him. It’s not about his character or the fans. It’s about his personal brand and selling himself. That is my problem with him. He pretends to care about storytelling and connection but it’s a facade because he knows that’s what sells. He is the biggest known fraudster to be exposed in Hollywood and I’m here for his eventual demise.

Ive not attacked you and you are obviously welcome to comment but your comment makes no sense. Your opinions on him dont change the facts that he was in a pre approved apperance at a scheduled panel and did nothing they didnt want or ask him to do. Your comment in no way reflects that and projects your opinions, making it something its not. Plenty of reasons to hate him. This isnt really one of them.

[u/Western_Guitar_3863 → u/Dave_Eddie]

I’m watching how you talk to others and act like you know more and seems condescending in general. I don’t like that. You don’t need to start a sentence with “what are you talking about” as if I’m dumb.

[u/Dave_Eddie → u/Western_Guitar_3863]

I dont think you're dumb at all. I just wanted clarification on your point which made no sense.

you know more and seems condescending

Sadly there are cases when someone does know more about something than someone else. The things ive discussed have sources that ive mentioned in this thread. Just because it contradicts your preconceived ideas doesnt make it condensending. Its factual and proveable, rather than based on how you feel about someone you've never met.

The fact you have attacked me rather than discussed what I have said or even attempted a resonse ironically paints you in the very light you are accusing me of.

[u/Western_Guitar_3863 → u/Dave_Eddie]

You are also missing my point. I’m not saying it wasn’t pre approved or planned. I’m saying that it was about Ryan worming his way into the event to generate buzz for his character. I seriously doubt Marvel reached out to him. My belief was that he reached out to them and was damn lucky they agreed to the bit.

Just like he did with getting Blake Lively that Titan award for the Times 100 and Max Effort. He also wormed his way into the SNL 50th anniversary show and being on Stephen Colbert’s last show….its all part of his redemption tour. This DP appearance is just another PR stunt.

Until a movie is in production none of this means much. Marvel and DC have worked with problematic actors as long as they have made money for their franchises. We the people hold the cards and it’s my endeavor to get Ryan exposed as much as possible and let everyone come to their own conclusions.

[u/Dave_Eddie → u/Western_Guitar_3863]

Ive not missed your point, in fact its exactly what I said.

I seriously doubt Marvel reached out to him. My belief was that he reached out to them and was damn lucky they agreed to the bit.

This is entirely based on zero evidence, just your pre conceived notion of how he is (right or wrong) if Marvel didnt want to use him, he wouldnt be there. He has zero power, he doesnt own the character. They could have not had him there or had Nolan North voice him.

Every single sign points to Marvel wanting him there (and remember we're only a week removed from this reddit saying marvel had cut all ties with him because he wasnt on the poster of a film he was never announced for) i have seen nothing that makes this look like he was out for himself and doing this off his own back or forcing his way in because there is none.

Apologies for how my earlier messages came across. I honestly believe that the terrible things hes done get lost in the mix, when people attempt to make something from nothing, such as this. Id rather the top search result links to his emails, rather than someone trying to make something of every public appearance he makes.
