Rumours of tension between Ryan Reynolds and Robert Downey Jr on the sets of Avengers: Doomsday have quickly gained traction online, sparking heated discussions among Marvel fans. While no official confirmation has come from either camp, social media is abuzz with speculation about an alleged clash between the two Hollywood heavyweights. Interestingly, a large section of fans seem to be taking Robert Downey Jr’s side, backing the beloved Iron Man star over Reynolds, who recently made waves with the success of Deadpool & Wolverine. Many fans are even rejoicing at the idea that Reynolds has finally met someone he cannot outshine or boss around, alluding to past rumours of the Deadpool actor allegedly hijacking projects to suit his own brand of humour and persona. One user commented, "If someone have a power to stop Ryan Reynolds is this guy [sic]" as another joins in writing, "It must be hard for Ryan to be around someone who is actually funny [sic]." With Downey Jr’s stature and legacy as Marvel’s most iconic hero, the supposed power balance has added another layer of intrigue, making the off-screen chatter almost as entertaining as the film itself. Is Ryan Reynolds Getting Cancelled?
