Always in preparation for the defamation trial brought by Justin Baldoni to Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, in response to their respective proceedings, the legal team of the director of It Ends With Us transmitted a letter to judge Lewis J. Liman who reveals a curious development.
Indeed, the letter contained the opposition of Justin’s lawyers to the “Marvel motion to cancel the quote to appear in the court transmitted by the Wayfarer parties and for a protective prescription”, as reported by Us Weekly. The giants of the film industry would not have “met or conferred with us” with good faith to resolve this dispute “”.
“On April 2, 2025, Marvel sent to the Wayfarer parties a letter containing his objections to the quote to appear, which are the same as those stated in his recent letter of request,” said the Baldoni legal team. “On April 7, 2025, my office spoke by phone with Marvel’s lawyer about objections, and although we tried in good faith to respond to the alleged concerns of Marvel concerning confidentiality and relevance, Marvel’s lawyer interrupted us, refusing to engage in this discussion.”
It would therefore not be the first altercation encountered with Marvel in connection with the resolution of the conflict between the headliners ofIt Ends With Us. The letter continues:
“Instead, Marvel’s lawyer interposed and said he just wanted to know what documents the Wayfarer parties had Really Need, without taking into account the request for documents concerning: (a) the creation, the development, the modification or the representation of the character of “nicepool” of Ryan Reynolds in Deadpool & Wolverine; and (b) Justin Baldoni. “

It would therefore be from that moment that Marvel would have asked the court not to require their presence in court “and to issue a protection order prohibiting the disclosure of Marvel’s confidential documents by any party or any other third party within the framework of this action”.
Recall that the company, bought by Disney, was mentioned in the legal action undertaken by Baldoni which revealed that Reynolds would have made fun of him by creating the character of “nicepool” in the thread Deadpool & Wolverine Released in July. For him, the version of the vigilante, which has long hair and a bun and which speaks of feminism in a honeyed voice, has been written as a caricature of his own person. He had also asked Marvel to keep the relevant documentation in pursuit, such as those arising from this character, making their refusal a blow for his defense.
Is this a simple obstacle to which the specialists employed by Justin, confronted with this great corporation, fall, or would the very low cooperation of Marvel mean something more as to the outcome of the trial between Blake Lively and the actor?
Certainly, the franchise does not seem to want to be involved!
