MCU Reset Sparks Explosive Deadpool Secrets Amid Blake Lively’s Shocking Court Battle

by

In the midst of the continuing court case between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, rumors indicate a potential reboot or significant change (MCU reset) is being considered by Disney and Marvel Studios. It seems they’re working hard to maintain secrecy surrounding any future plans for Deadpool, keeping these details out of public glare.

MCU reboot underway?

The report by Deadline indicates that Disney and Marvel are not providing details about “Nicepool” to Baldoni’s lawyers, a situation that apparently arises as they are in the process of reorganizing the Marvel Cinematic Universe with upcoming projects like Thunderbolts and Fantastic Four.

As a die-hard Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that Joe and Anthony Russo hinted at a significant transformation with their upcoming movies, Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars. They’ve suggested these films could serve as a reboot of the MCU, which has me on the edge of my seat in anticipation!

The intrigue of these fresh Avengers films lies in the fact that they mark a new start. After concluding the previous story, we’re now embarking on a journey to narrate a new beginning.

Kevin Feige has also confirmed a new age of mutants will follow Secret Wars.

Inside the Justin Baldoni, Blake Lively, and Ryan Reynolds Legal Battle

The $400 Million Lawsuit and Allegations

The ongoing court case involves a dispute between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively. Essentially, Lively has alleged that Baldoni sexually harassed her while they were working on the film “It Ends With Us“.

Baldoni then sued for defamation and extortion for a whopping $400 million.

Additionally, Baldoni’s team holds the opinion that Ryan Reynolds played a significant role off-camera in supporting Lively, spreading allegations against Baldoni, and ultimately bringing the situation into the public eye.

The “Nicepool” Controversy

In simpler terms, Baldoni’s critics argue that the Deadpool character portrayed by Reynolds in the film “Deadpool & Wolverine” caricatures Baldoni, particularly by making fun of his hairstyle (the “man bun”) and public image. Some people online have suggested that if Lively was genuinely harassed by Baldoni, it would be unusual for her husband to create such a character and use it in a major Marvel Cinematic Universe movie.

In an attempt to acquire necessary details, Baldoni and his legal advisors are seeking documents related to Nicepool from Marvel through a subpoena.

Disney and Marvel Fight Back to Protect MCU Secrets

Disney/Marvel contends that the information is still developing and of a confidential nature, as it might disclose details about the future of Deadpool within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and related films.

Sharing confidential documents such as details about the establishment of Nicepool and internal correspondence might jeopardize Marvel’s covert film projects.

Additionally, Reynolds is attempting to be removed from Baldoni’s legal case, which is why Disney is claiming that it is inappropriate to ask Marvel for the requested documents at this time.

Disney/Marvel argue:

These documents you’ve asked for are quite confidential as they concern the evolution of a character within a popular movie series that’s still ongoing, like the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The MCU’s appeal has grown significantly due to the interwoven narratives, shared storylines, and common characters across its films, including crossovers and sequels. There’s lots of curiosity about whether and how these elements will show up in upcoming, unannounced movies, and Marvel takes great care to keep such details secret.

Marvel’s investigation involves wide-ranging matters. Revealing their confidential documents could harm Marvel significantly. Ryan Reynold’s argument provides solid reasons for potentially dismissing the case. However, parties involved in the Wayfarer case wouldn’t suffer any disadvantage if a delay (stay) is enforced.

Baldoni’s Subpoena for Marvel’s Deadpool Documents

However, Baldoni’s team contends that they are yet to receive information from Marvel, as this data remains relevant to the case involving Lively as well.

They suggested reducing the scope of the request, only to bring up the topic of Nicepool and Reynolds mocking Baldoni, as a way to lighten the load for Marvel, possibly disclosing details about Deadpool in the MCU.

Additionally, they contend that Deadpool & Wolverine is no longer a secret as it has already been produced and made available for public consumption.

What Happens Next in the Legal Fight

1) Disney and Marvel are countering claims by suggesting that even minor details might unintentionally reveal future Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) plans. Moreover, they are prolonging the legal process until the court decides if Ryan Reynolds should be dismissed as a defendant in the case.

2) Disney and Marvel argue that it’s possible for small details to give away upcoming MCU plotlines. In addition, they want the judge to rule first on whether or not to drop Ryan Reynolds as a defendant before moving forward with the case.

Obviously, this is all a big mess. The trial is due to start March 9, 2026.

What’s next for Deadpool in the MCU?

Marvel hasn’t officially announced anything about Deadpool’s future in the MCU.

After the highly successful debut of the joint venture between Deadpool and Wolverine, earning a whopping $1.3 billion, Marvel Studios officially announced that Channing Tatum will reprise his role in the upcoming movie Avengers: Doomsday.

Recently, Reynolds expressed a desire for Wesley Snipes to further develop his role as Blade, but at the moment, it appears that only Gambit is set to make an appearance within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

If Disney and Marvel choose to keep quiet about Deadpool’s future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s quite likely that we can expect more adventures from the Mercy with a Mouth.
