Ryan Reynolds’ movie career appears to be experiencing some setbacks due to deepening tensions between his wife, Blake Lively, and her co-star Justin Baldoni in the film “It Ends With Us.” According to recent reports by Deadline, the release date for the animated road film “Animal Friends,” previously scheduled for October 10, 2025, has been postponed. Instead, it will now be released on May 1, 2026. This project is a joint effort between Legendary, Maximum Effort, and Prime Focus Studios.
About Animal Friends
The film “Animal Friends,” penned by Kevin Burrows and Matt Mider, features Jason Momoa, Aubrey Plaza, Addison Rae, Dan Levy, Lil Rel Howery, Ellie Bamber, and the actor known for playing Green Lantern. Originally slated for release on August 15, 2025, it has now been rescheduled twice, first to October 2025 and then to May 2026. This doesn’t fully convey the changes the movie has experienced thus far. Initially, Sony Pictures was in charge of the film, but after a deal with Legendary, Warner Bros. took control instead.
Why Animal Films could have been moved
It’s been confirmed that Animal Friends will carry an R rating, but specific details about the movie are still being kept secret. Additionally, it’s unclear why production has delayed its release, but it appears to have avoided competing with Jennifer Lopez’s Kiss of the Spider Woman and Channing Tatum’s Roofman.
This decision might be strategic, leaning towards catering to data rather than conflicting with other movies, potentially attracting more viewers.
Ryan Reynolds in Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s Feud
Though not personally engaged, the 48-year-old has been indirectly impacted by the intensity of Blake Lively’s ongoing conflict with Justin Baldoni, which originated following “It Ends With Us.” The most recent report indicates that the actress decided to withdraw her ’emotional distress’ claims against her co-star after allegedly being requested for medical evidence.
