Amy Sussman—Getty Images by [Annie Nader](https://time.com/author/annie-nader/) Prediction Markets Analyst Aug 18, 2026 2:17 PM UTC Nothing travels through the Marvel Cinematic Universe quite like a casting rumor with studio fingerprints on it. Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds delivered one at Disney's D23 convention on Friday. In a [video message](https://x.com/VancityReynolds/status/2088645995353837768?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2088645995353837768%7Ctwgr%5E634082fdd50565456b41190990e79fbeaf512586%7Ctwcon%5Es1%5F&ref%5Furl=https%3A%2F%2Fmovieweb.com%2Fhugh-jackman-ryan-reynolds-d23-video%2F), Jackman—fed lines by Reynolds off-camera—sheepishly asked Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige whether he needed "some help rounding out" the _Avengers: Doomsday_ cast before adding that he "might be able to convince" Reynolds to appear in the film, too. When Reynolds posted the bit to X, fans treated it as unofficial confirmation that Deadpool and Wolverine had punched their tickets to _Doomsday_—and traders moved to price in the apparent reveal. > [](https://twitter.com/VancityReynolds/status/2088645995353837768?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2088645995353837768%7Ctwgr%5E634082fdd50565456b41190990e79fbeaf512586%7Ctwcon%5Es1%5F&ref%5Furl=https%3A%2F%2Fmovieweb.com%2Fhugh-jackman-ryan-reynolds-d23-video%2F) The [confirmed cast list for _Avengers: Doomsday_](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21357150/fullcredits/)reads less like an ensemble than an industry-wide census. Robert Downey Jr. will star in a [reported $100 million](https://www.imdb.com/news/ni65413899/) turn as Doctor Doom. Marvel has already announced a 30-name call sheet that leaves the B-list on the wrong side of Thanos' snap. But Marvel's favorite casting announcement is the one hidden behind the price of admission. The [studio protects its secrets](https://screenrant.com/avengers-infinity-war-fake-scripts/) with redacted scripts, decoy endings, and NDAs that leave its stars unable to confirm their own employment. Ahead of the film's December 18 release, traders are trying to predict the next casting reveal before it escapes Reynolds' drafts folder. ## **Avengers: Doomsday Cast List Odds** Here are the [odds for which actors will play which characters in Avengers: Doomsday,](https://kalshi.com/markets/kxroleinproductiondoomsday/who-will-be-playing-what-in-avengers-doomsday/kxroleinproductiondoomsday?op%5Fmarket%5Fticker=KXROLEINPRODUCTIONDOOMSDAY-BRI) per Kalshi.  Jackman's Wolverine had been trading at an 85% implied probability and Reynolds' Deadpool at 80% before the teaser video was posted. Both now sit at 93%. Neither actor has been officially confirmed, though [Marvel's own D23 recap](https://www.marvel.com/articles/movies/avengers-doomsday-cast-d23-2026-new-footage-poster-robert-downey-jr-chris-evans-hayley-atwell) might have nudged the rumor closer to confirmation. After recounting the duo's pitch, the article pivots directly to "[the film also stars](https://www.marvel.com/articles/movies/avengers-doomsday-cast-d23-2026-new-footage-poster-robert-downey-jr-chris-evans-hayley-atwell)" before listing the confirmed cast, leaving their names off the list while all but putting them on it. However you interpret that "also," the market has reached a verdict: if a studio intentionally stages a teaser about two of its most popular characters, it probably isn't keeping them out of the movie. D23 gave traders syntax to parse. The trailer had already given them faces. Captain America, Thor, Ant-Man, and Professor X are among the characters that appear in the trailer, which racked up 503 million views in its first 24 hours—the [second-biggest movie trailer launch](https://www.instagram.com/p/DbEjmr0j16K/?img%5Findex=2) on record, behind [_Spider-Man: Brand New Day_](https://time.com/partner-content/prediction-markets/prediction-markets-saw-spider-man-s-box-office-record-coming/). The only trailer to outdraw _Doomsday_ belongs to the hero at the center of the odds board. Tom Holland's Spider-Man is trading at a 59% implied probability. His contract traded as low as 24% before _Brand New Day_ was released. Then the film handed the market a new catalyst: its [post-credits scene](https://variety.com/2026/film/news/spider-man-brand-new-day-credits-avengers-doomsday-secret-wars-1236821075/) promises that "Spider-Man will return" as it locates the superhero outside Earth, implying he had crossed over into a different universe. Holland is coming back, but whether that means _Doomsday_ this December, _Secret Wars_ next year, or another stop on Marvel's calendar remains unclear. Traders can parse every clue the studio chooses to make public, but scooping Marvel outright may be an impossible bet. --- ## Read more from Prediction Markets [READ MORE](https://time.com/partner-content/prediction-markets/) [Open article: The World Series Nobody Saw Coming Has a Clear Favorite](https://time.com/partner-content/prediction-markets/no-one-budgeted-for-this-world-series/)  ### The World Series Nobody Saw Coming Has a Clear Favorite [READ MORE](https://time.com/partner-content/prediction-markets/no-one-budgeted-for-this-world-series/) [Open article: Tesla's Flying Roadster Hasn't Landed With Traders](https://time.com/partner-content/prediction-markets/tesla-flying-roadster-hasnt-landed-with-traders/)  ### Tesla's Flying Roadster Hasn't Landed With Traders [READ MORE](https://time.com/partner-content/prediction-markets/tesla-flying-roadster-hasnt-landed-with-traders/) [Open article: Jay-Z Will Reportedly Headline the Super Bowl.
