Marvel Studios spent significant time at its last two major conventions teasing fans about some exciting returns. Starting at San Diego Comic-Con in July, Ryan Reynolds showed up dressed as Deadpool and asked to be in Avengers: Doomsday. Then, at D23 in August, Hugh Jackman filmed a video where he did the same for Wolverine. We still don’t know for sure whether Deadpool and Wolverine are in the movie, but we are sure the actors had a significant hand in its creation.
With Avengers: Doomsday just over a month away, the Writers Guild of America added its official credits to its database, and it contains a whole lot of information. The script, on screen, will be credited to Stephen McFeely and Michael Waldron. Which we knew. Off-screen, however, several other writers are also being officially recognized for their contributions, and that’s where things get interesting.
Among them are a few that make sense. There’s Eric Pearson (who wrote The Fantastic Four: First Steps and Thunderbolts), Chris McKenna (McFeely’s long-time writing partner who did Infinity War and Endgame with him), Erik Sommers (who co-wrote the Tom Holland Spider-Man movies), Jeff Loveness (who wrote Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania), and Andrew Lanham (who wrote Shang-Chi).
None of those people taking a crack at the script is a surprise.
