Meanwhile, Zack Peter, in his recent video, also defended his reporting on the rumoured Avengers: Doomsday set fight. He quipped:

“My video, and anytime I've addressed it, I've always made it clear that this was a fan rumor and that it came from a blind item and that there was no verifiable source that had run with the story, but now that we do have more details from John Rocha… We can confirm Ryan Reynolds, who I said has not even been confirmed to be on the set of Avengers Doomsday, that's just a rumor.”

The 32-year-old media personality noted that he only “ran with the rumor” because several people had allegedly asked him to talk on the matter. He set the record straight that the fight was a “fan rumor” that was running around on Reddit and had originated from a blind item.
