Marvel just added another familiar face to an already enormous cast. It isn’t Deadpool or Wolverine, and the hint came from a post-credits scene most fans would have blinked past. Here’s who showed up and who might be next.
Avengers: Doomsday: Meet Ralph, the TVA’s Newest Multiverse Witness
James Dryden’s TVA tech, Ralph, appeared in a new post-credits scene in Avengers: Endgame Encore, the Endgame re-release. The scene follows the Time Variance Authority, with Owen Wilson’s Mobius and other employees watching an Incursion unfold on a giant monitor. Ralph is the one who points it out.

Fans may remember him from Deadpool & Wolverine, where Wade Wilson joked about their attraction, Ralph phoned TVA’s HR department, and Wade stole Mr. Paradox’s TemPad to open a portal above him. If Ralph is in Doomsday, as the scene suggests, he becomes the second film alumnus after Channing Tatum’s Gambit. Tatum was cast in Marvel’s official March 2025 announcement.

Who Else Could Show Up?
| Character | Actor | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Gambit | Channing Tatum | Officially cast |
| Ralph (TVA) | James Dryden | Suggested by the Endgame Encore scene |
| Hunter B-15 | Wunmi Mosaku | Insider reports tease a return |
| Deadpool | Ryan Reynolds | Fan wish, unconfirmed |
| Wolverine | Hugh Jackman | Fan wish, unconfirmed |
| X-23 | Dafne Keen | Hoped for, unconfirmed |
| Colossus | Stefan Kapicic | Possible, minor role |
Hunter B-15: The Most Logical Return
Mosaku’s TVA authority figure is the safest bet. She played a key supporting role in both seasons of Loki and appeared in the final scenes of Deadpool & Wolverine. With the multiverse collapsing, she would likely work alongside Mobius and other TVA agents, though her storyline hasn’t been teased.
Deadpool and Wolverine: Fan Favourites
Reynolds led the second-highest-grossing R-rated movie ever, and Wade knows the multiverse better than most characters. Jackman would reach a dozen appearances as Wolverine and could reunite with his classic X-Men team for the first time in over a decade. Neither is confirmed.
X-23 and Colossus: Smaller but Meaningful
Dafne Keen’s Laura delivered one of the film’s most emotional moments, and a Doomsday appearance could pair her with more X-Men. Colossus had only a couple of lines last time, so he would mostly add to what is already the biggest cast in any comic book movie.
Why This Matters?
Doomsday is expected to challenge Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which earned about $2.5 billion. A deep bench of crossover characters helps explain those expectations. See our look at the five hero teams heading for conflict for how all these pieces might fit.
