Marvel has taken legal action to prevent the disclosure of confidential documents requested by Justin Baldoni, who is seeking information regarding Ryan Reynolds' character, Nicepool, from 'Deadpool vs Wolverine', amid speculations that the character parodies him. Marvel filed a motion to quash the subpoena and requested a protective order, highlighting concerns over confidentiality and the relevancy of the information sought. Despite attempts by Baldoni's legal team to discuss these objections, Marvel's counsel focused on identifying the specific documents truly needed. The legal dispute is further complicated by ongoing rumors involving Ryan Reynolds and a person close to Taylor Swift. This situation underscores the tension between creative expression and personal depiction in media portrayals, as well as the complexities of celebrity legal battles.

Marvel has filed a motion to quash the subpoena issued by Justin Baldoni, who seeks information about Ryan Reynolds' portrayal of the character Nicepool, believed to parody Baldoni, in the film 'Deadpool vs Wolverine'.

Marvel is also seeking a protective order to prevent the disclosure of its confidential documents by any parties involved in the legal action, emphasizing confidentiality concerns.

Justin Baldoni's legal team attempted to address Marvel's objections to the subpoena during a telephonic meeting, but Marvel's counsel interrupted, focusing instead on identifying the essential documents needed.

The legal proceedings are pending, with Marvel requesting a stay on the subpoena's return date until after the court resolves Ryan Reynolds' motion to dismiss the counterclaims against him.

The case illustrates the challenges of balancing creative freedom and personal portrayal, raising questions about the limits of artistic license in character creation.

Marvel's actions reflect a broader trend of protecting intellectual property rights and managing the potential fallout from perceived personal depictions in entertainment media.

Amidst the legal battle, there are circulating rumors involving Ryan Reynolds and a person closely associated with Taylor Swift, adding another layer of public interest to the case.

Marvel asked a judge to “quash the subpoena issued to Marvel…and issue a protective order prohibiting the disclosure of Marvel’s confidential documents by any party or other nonparty in this action.”

“Alternatively, Marvel requests that the Court stay the return date of the Subpoena and related document requests until after the Court decides the pending motion to dismiss of Counterclaim Defendant Ryan Reynolds,” they added (via People).

Justin‘s lawyers responded, “On April 2, 2025, Marvel sent the Wayfarer Parties a letter containing its objections to the Subpoena, which are the same objections set forth in its recent letter-motion. On April 7, 2025, my office met and conferred with Marvel’s counsel via telephone about the objections, and although we attempted in good faith to address Marvel’s purported concerns about confidentiality and relevancy, Marvel’s counsel interrupted us, refusing to engage in that discussion.”

“Instead, Marvel’s counsel interjected and stated he merely wanted to know what documents the Wayfarer Parties ‘really’ needed, regardless of the Subpoena’s demand for all documents concerning: (a) the creation, development, modification or portrayal of Ryan Reynolds’ ‘Nicepool’ character from Deadpool & Wolverine; and (b) Justin Baldoni,” they added.

Meanwhile, if you didn’t see, there are rumors circulating about Ryan and someone who is very close to Taylor Swift.
