10 Recent Movie Rumours That Were Total Bull
10. Robert Downey Jr. Has A Cameo - Deadpool & Wolverine
Rumours swirled in the months leading up to Deadpool and Wolverine's release that the film would feature a cameo from Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark in some capacity, and if any film could bring the actor back for a cute, possibly meta cameo that didn't undermine Stark's demise in Avengers: Endgame, it'd surely be this one, right?
And so, it was easy to believe that Marvel Studios had dumped a truckfull of cash on RDJ's lawn and secured his services for a brief appearance, but alas, it wasn't to be.
Early in the film, we do see Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) have a meeting with Happy Hogan (Jon Favreau) in 2018 where he pitches joining The Avengers, only to be turned down.
Tony Stark, who obviously was alive at this point in time, is nowhere to be seen, though according to the film's co-writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, the original version of the script did indeed have Tony in the office with Happy.
But Downey ultimately turned the cameo offer down, which Reese and Wernick surmise was likely because he was already locked in to play Doctor Doom in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday.
