According to the information on the Writer’s Guild of America website, the Russo Brothers’ upcoming film Avengers: Doomsdayhas 10 screenwriters, including Deadpool and Wolverinestars Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds. While Reynolds’ screenwriting credits include Deadpool 2(2018) as well as Deadpool and Wolverine, Jackman makes his debut as a scenarist with Avengers: Doomsday.
Loki creator Stephen McFeely and Doctor Strange Strange in the Multiverse of Madness writer Michael Waldron share the main screenwriting credits for the upcoming Avengersfilm. On the other hand, additional literary material credits (not onscreen) belong to Waldron, McFeely, Eric Pearson, Erik Sommers, Chris McKenna, Jeff Loveness, Destin Daniel Cretton, Andrew Lanham, Jackman, and Reynolds. According to the aforesaid website, the term ‘additional literary material’ refers to “an official film credit introduced by the Writers Guild of America to recognize Guild-contracted writers who contributed writing services to a theatrical feature but did not qualify for a traditional primary writing credit.”
While Destin Daniel Cretton was attached to direct the film from a Jeff Loveness screenplay at a time it was called The Kang Dynasty, it was reworked subsequently after Disney terminated Jonathan Majors.
Then, Cretton exited the project, with Joe and Anthony Russo joining it with McKenna, McFeely, Waldron and Sommers to change the focal point of the story to Doctor Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr.
Coming back to Reynolds, the actor responded to a <a href="https://cinemamix360.com/2026/11/14/social-media-careers-the-skills-you-need-where-to-look-and-jobs-to-consider/" title="Social media careers: The skills you need, where to look and jobs to consider”>social media user’s post featuring the screenshot of the Writer’s Guild of America website that cites the Avengers: Doomsdayscreenwriters.
