Justin Baldoni is looking for evidence for his case against Blake Lively. The actor and director of This Is How It Ends sent a letter to the president of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feigeand the CEO of Disney, Bob Igerasking them to preserve documents that mention it.

The request, according to the magazine Peoplerequests “any and all documents related to the development of the Nicepool character” and “communications related to the development, writing and filming of plots and scenes involving Nicepool.”

Baldoni and his legal team believe that the character Nicepool, developed and played by Ryan Reynoldshusband of Livelyis a parody of itself. Therefore, the actor’s lawyers are seeking documents “related to or reflecting a deliberate attempt to mock, harass, ridicule, intimidate or intimidate Baldoni through the character Nicepool”.

In deleted scenes from Deadpool & Wolverinewhich are already circulating on social media, Nicepool — a more pleasant version of Deadpool — criticizes Ladypool’s body, played by Lively. The dialogue would be making reference to the accusations of Lively of what Baldoni made offensive comments about her body.

Ladypool even kills Nicepool, who calls herself a feminist (like Baldoni), in front of a flower shop. The scene would be a mention of the character who Lively interprets in This Is How It Ends. Watch the excerpts below:
