Overview

• Justin Baldoni's legal team has subpoenaed Marvel for internal documents on the Nicepool character, alleging it was created to mock and defame him with malice.
• Marvel has filed a motion to quash the subpoena, arguing that the documents are highly sensitive and could reveal confidential plans for future MCU storylines.
• Baldoni’s lawyers opposed Marvel's motion, claiming the company failed to engage in good-faith discussions to address concerns about confidentiality and relevance.
• Ryan Reynolds, who portrayed Nicepool in 'Deadpool & Wolverine,' is seeking dismissal of Baldoni’s countersuit, calling the claims legally baseless and rooted in 'thin-skinned outrage.'
• The court has yet to rule on Marvel’s motion or Reynolds’ dismissal request, with the trial in the broader Lively-Baldoni legal dispute set for March 2026.
