Justin Baldoni
Cough It Up, Marvel
… Nicepool’s Very Relevant!!!

Justin Baldoni is currently in a contentious situation involving Blake Lively and extending his grievances to Marvel, urging the entertainment giant to disclose certain documents related to the popular character Deadpool.
Baldoni asserts that Blake’s husband, Ryan Reynolds, has poked fun at him in the latest ‘Deadpool’ movie. He has formally requested that Disney and Marvel preserve all documents associated with the characters Ryan portrays in “Deadpool & Wolverine.” However, last week, Marvel took legal action to dismiss Baldoni’s subpoena.
In response, Baldoni has intensified his claims in newly acquired legal documents, stating that the character Nicepool serves as a satirical representation of him.
In the film, Nicepool makes a remark to Blake’s character, Ladypool, after she has just given birth, quipping, “you can’t even tell,” alongside a comment on identifying as a feminist.
One notable scene features Reynolds exclaiming, “Where in God’s name is the intimacy coordinator?!”
Reports indicate that Baldoni relates the film’s dialogue to personal accusations made by Blake, who has alleged that he sexually harassed and fat-shamed her regarding her postpartum body during the filming of “It Ends With Us.” Regarding the feminist quip, Baldoni perceives it as a dig at his self-proclaimed identity as a feminist and ally during promotions for the movie.
Marvel contends that the characters and humor in the film bear no relevance to Baldoni’s lawsuits against Blake and Ryan, asserting that Nicepool merely represents an opinion rather than a factual statement.
However, Baldoni maintains that Nicepool is indeed pertinent to his claims, arguing he requires the Marvel documents to uncover potential evidence of Ryan’s alleged malice.
Ryan, for his part, is attempting to have Baldoni’s lawsuit dismissed, suggesting that Justin is merely reacting sensitively to the Nicepool portrayal.
The ongoing saga among this group of individuals continues to unfold.
