While promoting his upcoming Netflix film The Adam Project, Ryan Reynolds was asked by Variety about his supposed cameo as Deadpool in Doctor Strange 2. 

The actor stated, “I guess I am really not supposed to say anything about that but I am really not in the movie.” 

When the interviewer pointed out that he could be lying, Reynolds responded, “I could be an unreliable narrator but I promise I am not in the movie.” 

When asked about the third instalment in the Deadpool franchise, he said, “It’s coming along.” 

Ryan’s statement soon started going viral on social media with many fans calling him a liar. 

One fan compared him to Andrew Garfield who had denied his presence in Spider-Man: No Way Home multiple times before the film’s release and wrote, “Mf starting to sound like Andrew Garfield”.

Agreed. And his wording: "I'm not supposed to say anything about that, I'm really not in the movie" ... @vancityreynolds if you are not in the movie then you wouldn't be mandated not to say anything about it.
We love you Ryan. #MCU #MultiverseOfMadness
