Justin Baldoni warns Disney and Marvel to keep all documents related to the various characters Ryan Reynolds starred in Deadpool & Wolverine as he pushes forward with his legal battle… and he focuses on a particular character who he believes was intended to taunt and bully him.
Baldoni's lawyer, Bryan Freedmansent a legal letter to Marvel, which was seen by TMZ Kevin Fig and Disney Bob Igersuggesting that he believes Reynolds openly mocked Baldoni in a scene from the July 2024 release.
In the scene, Reynolds – who plays a character named “Nicepool” – drops the line, “Where in God's name is the intimacy coordinator?!” He also compliments Blake Livelys character Ladypool for “snapping back” after giving birth… and makes a comment about her being a feminist.
The letter asks the studio to “preserve any documents relating to a deliberate attempt to mock, harass, ridicule, intimidate or bully Baldoni through the character of 'Nicepool.'
Reynolds, who has had multiple roles as writer, producer and star of Deadpool & Wolverine, is standing by his wife Blake amid the drama. Baldoni has already dragged Ryan into the mess, claiming he harassed him during a meeting, but Sources close to Ryan have denied these claims.
The letter notes that some of the expected claims could include tortious breach of contract and civil extortion.
