The "Deadpool" franchise is named in Justin Baldoni's new lawsuit against "It Ends With Us" costar Blake Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds. Here's why.

Justin Baldoni's legal team is demanding Disney executives retain any communications about Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool character to use in court in the legal battle with Blake Lively.

Enter Ryan Reynolds (Blake's husband) and Deadpool. Variety is reporting that Justin's legal team sent a letter to Disney execs earlier this month over the Deadpool & Wolverine character Nicepool, who is played by "Gordon Reynolds" aka Ryan.
