by

Wondering what’s causing the buzz around ‘Ryan Reynolds reportedly parting ways with Disney’? It seems the ‘Deadpool’ star is at the heart of conjecture due to his ongoing legal dispute with Justin Baldoni. Allegations that Reynolds made fun of Baldoni in Deadpool & Wolverine have stirred up controversy and fanned the flames of speculation about his connection to Disney and Marvel moving forward.

Let’s uncover the reasons behind ‘Ryan Reynolds being let go by Disney’ and the truth behind the news headlines.

Here’s why ‘Ryan Reynolds Fired From Disney’ or Marvel is trending

Contrary to some rumors, Ryan Reynolds hasn’t lost his role as Deadpool in the Disney/Marvel universe. The speculation stems from a legal dispute he’s having with Justin Baldoni.

Actor Baldoni claims Disney and Marvel have made fun of him through the Deadpool & Wolverine character “Nicepool,” portrayed by Reynolds. His attorney, Bryan Freedman, sent a letter to Disney CEO Bob Iger and Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, asking them to save all documents related to this character. According to TMZ’s report on January 14, 2025, Baldoni thinks that Reynolds created the character as a way to make fun of him. This is based on statements made by Blake Lively.

In the movie released in July 2024, Nicepool exclaims, “For heaven’s sake, where is our intimacy advisor?!” He also commends Lively’s character, Ladypool, for her remarkable resilience following childbirth. Baldoni’s legal team argues that these lines echo Lively’s claims that he body-shamed her postpartum and behaved inappropriately at work during It Ends with Us. Baldoni, who is known for promoting feminist ideals, lost the Voices of Empowerment Award in December 2024 following these accusations.

Freedman’s letter requests that Disney and Marvel preserve all records connected to or indicating an intentional effort to satirize, harass, belittle, intimidate, or bully Baldoni through the character of ‘Nicepool.’ It further suggests possible legal actions such as breach of contract and extortion. Reynolds, a creator, actor, and Deadpool & Wolverine franchise member, is alleged to be backing his wife during this dispute.

2024, here I am, gaming and living life, but not just any life—the life of a passionate actor who’s had his fair share of challenges. On the last day of that year, I decided it was time to take a stand. I filed a whopping $250 million lawsuit against The New York Times. Why? Because they, in my opinion, were trying to tarnish my hard-earned reputation by undermining my role in “It Ends with Us.” I stood firm, ready to fight for the truth and the recognition I deserve as an artist.
