Who knows how long it will take to unravel and address each minute, the excruciating details of the quarrel of Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni in court; For everything we know, we can hear about this legal battle for the years to come. Today’s Missive has to do with the certainly very funny accusation that the husband of Lively, Ryan Reynolds, based the character “nicepool” (from Deadpool and Wolverine) on Baldoni. The Baldoni camp calls it a “defamatory and mocking representation” which was executed with “malice” by Reynolds and the dead Pool team. His lawyers assigned Disney to sniff any proof of nail cheap, and not surprisingly, the media conglomerate does not want to play ball.
In a letter last week, the Disney foreign council said (via Deadline) “The documents requested are particularly sensitive because they relate to the development of a character in a franchise of current films. Marvel has built the success of the MCU largely by interconnecting scenarios, intrigue and characters through its titles, including the events’ `Crossover ”. The letter adds: “The discovery requested to Marvel is broad, the disclosure of these confidential documents would prejudge Marvel, and the motion of Reynolds presents” substantial reasons for dismissal “. At the same time, the Wayfarer parties would not be detrimental by a stay. »»
Just as Disney would like to protect the secrets of Marvel Owners (they have fairly infamous and extreme security measures in place around their films), this decision is also likely to protect Reynolds, which has proven a large money manufacturer for the studio. Reynolds is also not surprisingly seeking to obtain the Baldoni trial against him rejected. But the Baldoni camp maintains that “” neither asked nor obtained a discovery stay “(which means that nothing in the request in dismissal of Reynolds would block the assignment). In addition, the Baldoni team does not think that the costume will be really dismissed. Even if this is the case, they argue, the evidence of “nicepool” are always relevant for the prosecution against Lively.
“The Wayfarer parties have proposed, in good faith and to avoid any excessive burden in Marvel, to reduce the assignment to documents concerning the participation of Reynolds in the development of nicepool and communications concerning Baldoni”, reads lawyers representing Baldoni and its Wayfarer studios this week, sent this week. “Marvel will not be prejudicial if the court refuses to remain in accordance with the assignment to appear because the film has already been published, and all non -public documents can be marked” confidential “in accordance with the protection order.” Will Justin Baldoni become the ultimate spoiler of Marvel, or will Deadpool overcome his enemies again?
