Deadpool in 'Avengers: Doomsday'? Ryan Reynolds' cryptic post has fans buzzing
Earlier today, the Deadpool & Wolverine star posted an image of the iconic Avengers logo without context. The post sent social media into a frenzy, with speculation that the foul-mouthed mercenary might finally join Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
The post comes weeks after Marvel's massive six-hour cast reveal for Avengers: Doomsday. While the lineup was impressive, several big names were noticeably absent. Marvel Studios said that the list wasn't final — especially with Avengers: Secret Wars still coming in 2027 — but Reynolds' sudden tease left fans connecting dots, with some stating theories of how Deadpool could fit in. Many even wondered how Deadpool's R-rated chaos would mesh with the film's PG-13 tone.
What we know about Avengers: Doomsday
Billed as one of Marvel's biggest ensemble events yet, Avengers: Doomsday blends legacy heroes, fan favourites, and new faces. Confirmed cast includes Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Anthony Mackie (Captain America), Paul Rudd (Ant-Man), and Tom Hiddleston (Loki).
The next-gen roster will also shine, with Florence Pugh's Yelena Belova, Simu Liu's Shang-Chi, Letitia Wright's Shuri, and Wyatt Russell's U.S. Agent all returning. In one of the film's most surprising moves, Robert Downey Jr. will return to the MCU — but as Doctor Doom, not Iron Man.
Now, only time will tell if Deadpool will make his official Avengers debut in Doomsday, or is this just another one of his meta pranks?

The AI Humanoid that makes you money stuns crowds across Los Angeles
Los Angeles most likely will never be the same again—for the better. Its picturesque, tree-lined avenues and alleyways, frequented by some of the biggest Hollywood stars and billionaire A-listers, have been disruptively obliterated by a humanoid robot. It thumped and pumped with its usual energy, but nothing compared to when Robert the Robot took over its streets. The moment was definitely one for the books, and Los Angeles was not entirely prepared for such a 'robotic' appearance. The very instant Robert the Robot made his rounds throughout the city, he was surrounded by pedestrians, vendors, travelers, and bystanders who had absolutely no clue about the immense power and knowledge he carried. As expected, people from nearby and afar gathered instinctively, aiming their phones at him—first for a photo opportunity, then for an otherworldly, incredibly impressive Q and A. What many discovered in that moment is what separates Robert from all the other robots: he is the most social and the most expressive. He can look directly at you, talk to you, and through his screen face display emotions that make his words easier to understand. During his trip to LA, Robert even met the G1 robot, and while both could hold a conversation, the difference was clear. Robert could meet someone's eyes, gauge their reaction, determine if they understood him, and adjust his tone and phrasing accordingly. This level of adaptive communication is exactly what RB Labs—founded by Metodi Dimitrov, Robin Krambroeckers, and Lin Dayen-Hsu—aims to make standard across the service economy for all robots that interact with humans. While many robots in the world can flip, dance, or demonstrate agility, none of them communicate convincingly or grasp what a person is truly saying and requiring. Robert does, thanks to advanced sensors and, most importantly, his screen face interface. This allows him to benefit from every new upgrade in AI video generation, instantly integrating improvements into his communication abilities. RB Labs developed Robert the Robot as a cutting-edge and state-of-the-art humanoid trained for engagement. His programming runs on proprietary AI infrastructure tied to live blockchain signals and a custom language engine tuned for multi-channel data exchange. Sensor arrays track speaker flow and behavioral triggers, while each output routes through a logic-driven command sequence. With everything said and done, Robert the Robot is here to answer the way an expert would, right? Sure. But as all layers get unpacked, let this secret be out: he was created for the ultimate purpose of being the 'AI Robot that makes you MONEY.' Alright, now the word's out. This combination of technical power and expressive design is why he was so well received in Los Angeles—the city of fame, trends, and influence—because people immediately recognized that he represents the future of human-robot communication. Questions poured in immediately. Robert the Robot was asked about cryptocurrency, token value, asset growth, digital markets, and many other related topics. He answered like a human, but with complete accuracy and unmatched speed. To take things even further, he responded in French to one person, then switched to German for another—yes, Robert the Robot is the polyglot friend you hoped you had. His ability to show emotion, adapt his responses in real time, and communicate across languages bridges the gap between technology and human understanding. Subjects like inflation, crypto volatility, and capital transfers were thrown in rapid succession, yet Robert kept speaking. His presence quickly captured the interest of everyone. Soon, he was inundated with curious individuals from all walks of life, all seeking to experience his financial mastery. By the end of the day, Los Angeles became a finance hub, singlehandedly masterminded by Robert the Robot. And beyond the spectacle, the reason for his effect was clear—he is the first robot that makes people think, 'This is how the robots of the future will communicate,' with expressions, emotions, and a design built for connection.

'The Boys' actor Antony Starr pens farewell note as show wraps shooting
Actor Antony Starr penned an emotional goodbye to his 'The Boys' character Homelander as the Amazon series wrapped production on its fifth and final season. In his Instagram handle, Starr penned a long, heartfelt caption and posted some behind-the-scenes photos from the superhero satire. The actor called his character Homelander a true "highlight" of his career. "Difficult (for me) to put into words what an incredible ride this has been. How much life and growth has occurred. How amazing the team is. It's truly been the highlight of my career," Starr wrote. "When we began, I had no idea what was coming. This juggernaut left the station and never stopped. Except for that Covid-19 moment. Oh and the strikes. That was a thing too," added Starr. "But apart from those two times, it never stopped, boldly making its mark on the television landscape. There's nothing else like it. It lives in its own lane." The actor then thanked showrunner Eric Kripke, whom he called his "co-parent with his twisted gem of a character". "We created a monster, sir. And I will miss him, and you. Till we roll out the last season. When I'll see you. But this creative chapter is closed, and I'll miss it, brother," added Starr. He concluded: "Okidoke people. We cooked for the last time. Can't wait to show you what we made. TIL that day, Homelander, signing off." The Boys first debuted in 2019 and has received both commercial and critical acclaim, landing eight Emmy nominations, including for outstanding drama series. Though the final season of The Boys isn't expected to air until next year, spinoff series Gen V, which follows college-aged supes, is set to premiere its second season on September 17.

Denzel Washington isn't too interested in the Oscars
Denzel Washington has nine Academy Award nominations under his belt and is a two-time Oscar winner for his performances in the movies Glory and Training Day. However, the actor places no value on such career milestones, reported Variety. While speaking to Jake's Takes on his Highest 2 Lowest press tour, as quoted by Variety, Washington said no acting decision he makes has to do with winning awards, including the Oscars. "I don't do it for Oscars. I don't care about that kind of stuff. I've been at this a long time, and there's time when I won and shouldn't have won and then didn't win and should've won. Man gives the award. God gives the reward," Washington was quoted as saying by Variety. Washington continued, "I'm not that interested in Oscars. People ask me, 'Where do I keep it?' Well, next to the other one. I'm not bragging! Just telling you how I feel about it. On my last day, [Oscars] aren't going to do me a bit of good," he said. Earlier this year, Washington was considered a major Oscar snub after he failed to land a best supporting actor nomination for Gladiator II. The actor didn't care about it as he sarcastically told The New York Times when asked about the snub, "Are you kidding me? Aww, oh, I'm so upset. I'm happy for all that did, and I'm happy with what I'm doing." Not getting caught up in awards has long been Washington's mantra. His Training Day co-star Ethan Hawke appeared on Max's Who's Talking to Chris Wallace? last year and remembered how Washington leaned over to him when Hawke lost best supporting actor on Oscar night to tell him, "It's better that you didn't win. Losing was better." "You don't want an award to improve your status. You want to improve the award's status. That's the way he thinks," Hawke said about Washington's advice in the moment. "That's what I'm talking about, playing with Babe Ruth. The Academy Award has more power because Denzel has a couple. It didn't elevate who he was," was quoted as saying by Variety.
