Justin Baldoni’s Lawyer Says Ryan Reynolds Based ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Role On Actor: “No Question”


As 'Deadpool & Wolverine' fans likened one character to Justin Baldoni, his attorney said there's "no question" the role is a jab at his client.

His comment came after Kelly showed a clip from the MCU movie, in which Reynolds plays an alternate version of his titular character named Nicepool. As Lively officially filed a lawsuit against her It Ends With Us co-star and director last month, accusing him of sexual harassment and retaliation, Baldoni filed a countersuit against Lively and The New York Times for using texts between his PR team that “cherry-picked and altered communications stripped of necessary context and deliberately spliced to mislead.” A flood of A-listers flocked to Lively’s side quickly afterwards over what went down on the Sony-released box office hit It Ends With Us – including author Colleen Hoover, who wrote the 2016 book the domestic violence spotlighting film is based on.
