Justin Baldoni’s lawsuit against Blake Lively cites Deadpool amid claims of creative control issues on their film
Baldoni’s team claims that Lively’s actions mirror some drama that went down during “Deadpool 2.” They even say that Reynolds created a character named Nicepool to poke fun at Baldoni. It’s wild how these Hollywood feuds can get so personal, right?
In the lawsuit, Baldoni and his crew are going after Lively, Reynolds, and her publicist. They argue that Lively hijacked the project and took control, just like Reynolds did with “Deadpool.” It’s like a game of creative tug-of-war, and Baldoni feels like he’s losing.
The character Nicepool is described as a friendly version of Deadpool, and Baldoni’s lawyer thinks it’s pretty clear that it’s a jab at him. They even sent a letter to Marvel and Disney asking them to keep any documents that might show they were trying to mock Baldoni through this character.
Baldoni’s lawsuit also hints that Lively might have been inspired by her husband’s success with “Deadpool.” It’s all about power and control in the film industry, and it seems like everyone wants a piece of the pie.
As for the folks involved, they haven’t commented yet. But you know how it goes in Hollywood—there’s always more to the story.
