What’s the Situation with Reynolds and Lively at the Golden Globes?

This year’s Golden Globes will shine a spotlight on Marvel's anticipated *Deadpool & Wolverine*, directed by Shawn Levy, which has received a nomination for the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement award. However, sources like Deadline report that both Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, alongside Blake Lively, have opted out of attending the ceremony. This choice was reportedly made before the current legal disputes surrounding Lively and Baldoni erupted into the media frenzy they are today.

The legal storm began when Blake Lively filed a formal complaint alleging sexual harassment against Baldoni, claiming he and his team launched a smear campaign to undermine her career. In response, Baldoni has denied the allegations and counter-sued the New York Times over their coverage of the incident, even suggesting that Reynolds had meddled in their feud. Lively then escalated the situation with a lawsuit against Baldoni for sexual harassment and workplace retaliation.

As news outlets and social media continue to dissect this feud, the topic has created a buzz not only among Hollywood insiders but also among fans curious about the implications for the Golden Globes and beyond. In a recent statement, GG host Nikki Glaser confirmed she wouldn’t address the controversy during the broadcast, but that hasn’t stopped fans from drawing parallels between the unfolding legal drama and *Deadpool & Wolverine*.

Are Deadpool and Wolverine Trolling the It Ends With Us Drama?

Amidst the swirling rumors, fans have taken to social media to speculate whether *Deadpool & Wolverine* subtly references the conflict between Lively and Baldoni. A notable theory gaining traction on platforms like TikTok suggests that Reynolds’ character, Nicepool, might represent Baldoni himself. In a scene where Nicepool makes comments about Ladypool—played by Lively—some viewers believe it cleverly mirrors the inappropriate remarks Baldoni is accused of making on the *It Ends With Us* set.

Particularly intriguing is a line from Nicepool where he tries to justify his comments about Ladypool's post-baby physique by asserting his feminist beliefs—paralleling Baldoni’s self-identification while the tumultuous situation unfolds. Fans have humorously speculated that the ultimate fate of Nicepool, who meets a gruesome end in the film, further hints at Reynolds throwing shade at Baldoni.

However, it's essential to approach these theories with skepticism, as none of these connections have been officially confirmed or denied. What remains certain is that the legal proceedings between Lively and Baldoni are ongoing, and many are eagerly watching to see how these real-life events may influence future projects and Hollywood dynamics.

As Reynolds and Lively navigate this challenging chapter in their lives, fans continue to dissect the intersections between their work and personal experiences, hopeful for a resolution that clears the air for all parties involved.
