Did Ryan Reynolds Subtly Troll Justin Baldoni in ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Even Before the Feud Exploded? Fans Think So!

The disagreement between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni dates back to several months during the production of “It Ends With Us.” Following the wrap-up of filming, Lively asserted that Baldoni had behaved inappropriately towards her on set.

Among the issues she raised was the fact that Baldoni often made disrespectful remarks concerning her physique, doubting her weight in order to ascertain if it was safe for him to perform lifting actions due to his previous back issue.

For a brief period, things remained calm, but eventually, Lively initiated a legal dispute, escalating the situation into a high-profile celebrity feud that ultimately evolved into a federal court case. More recently, Baldoni has countered with his own complaint, while Lively has received backing from her fellow stars and other notable figures in the industry.

According to the documents she submitted, Lively claims that Justin Baldoni often subtly commented on her body and weight during their collaboration on “It Ends With Us”. This occurred shortly after they welcomed their fourth child, a son named Olin, into the world, prior to the start of filming.

Connecting this to the topic of “Deadpool & Wolverine” and “It Ends With Us”, it’s worth noting that Emily Lively, who stars in the latter, previously made a short appearance as Lady Deadpool in the former.

Initially, it might have been overlooked, but now it appears that Reynolds may have inserted some jabs directed at Baldoni. In one instance, the Deadpool variant Nicepool (portrayed by Reynolds) makes a remark about Lady Deadpool, saying: “Wow, you should see Ladypool! She’s stunning. You wouldn’t even know she just had a baby.

This might be referring to Baldoni’s remarks concerning Lively’s physique while they were shooting “It Ends With Us”. However, there’s more to it.

After Nicepool makes a comment about Lady Deadpool’s body, Deadpool replies, “I believe you shouldn’t make those kinds of comments.” In response, Nicepool puts his hand on his chest and says, “It’s alright. I consider myself a feminist.

It’s also possible to interpret this as a subtle nod towards Baldoni, who frequently identifies as a feminist. Back in 2017, Baldoni delivered a TED talk emphasizing the importance of shifting from striving to be “man enough” and instead championing women. A year later, he penned an essay on being a “feminist father” to his two kids with his spouse, Emily Baldoni.

Furthermore, it’s possible that Emma Corrin’s character, Cassandra Nova, could be raising a relevant issue. Her action of inserting her hand into Deadpool’s mind prompts him to shout for the need of an Intimacy Coordinator.

According to Legal papers from Lively, Baldoni performed unplanned and unrehearsed physical intimacy on set without an intimacy coordinator present. In his court case against The New York Times, however, Baldoni argues that they failed to mention that Lively declined meetings with the intimacy coordinator to discuss the planning of the movie’s sex scenes.

As per my understanding from IMDb’s production details, I was part of the team that completed filming for the Marvel movie in June 2024. This was five months following a crucial meeting we had with Baldoni and our fellow producers, where we discussed allegations of sexual harassment involving Lively and Reynolds.

In the course of my discussions, I reached an understanding that ensured Emily Blunt was shielded from any unwarranted physical interaction or remarks concerning her personal appearance. This protection extended solely to her character and the context of the script and scenes we were working on.

In my perspective, as a cinephile, it’s plausible that the witty banter in ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ might have been cleverly directed at Baldoni, given that this film was produced post their supposed encounter. However, Ryan Reynolds, the charismatic actor behind Deadpool, has remained silent on these intriguing speculations.

Could someone clarify for me why Nicepool appears to be so similar to Justin Baldoni in July 2023? He even humorously comments on Ladypool’s post-pregnancy body! In the comic, Deadpool uses Nicepool’s mortal body as a shield (the only one he has). What is the significance of this action? The more I observe, the more puzzled I become.

1. “In which locations can we catch Baldoni’s edit?” (Addressing Sony, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds)

2. “Are the feminist and intimacy coach-related jokes in Deadpool subtle jabs or quiet humor?” (Still addressing Sony, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds)
