- Justin Baldoni's lawyer, Bryan Freedman, has sent a notice to Disney CEO Bob Iger.
- Freedman also requested the preservation of documents related to the development of the Nicepool character.
- The request also sought information about Miller's departure from certain installments.
Variety reported that Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, sent a notice on January 7 to Disney CEO Bob Iger, Marvel President Kevin Feige, and Tim Miller, the director of the 2016 "Deadpool" film.
Reports state that Freedman instructed the individuals to “preserve all relevant documents and data” concerning the “Five Feet Apart” director, highlighting “anticipated claims” Baldoni intends to file against Reynolds, Lively, and their collaborators.
In the letter, the attorney also requested that Feige, Iger, and Miller safeguard all documents related to the development of the Nicepool character, along with “communications regarding the development, writing, and filming of storylines and scenes featuring Nicepool.”
The lawyer for the “Jane the Virgin” star also instructed the three individuals to preserve all documents related to or reflecting any intentional attempts to mock, harass, ridicule, intimidate, or bully Baldoni through the Nicepool character.
The request also sought information about Miller’s departure from certain installments and instances when Reynolds took “creative control of any film project.”
The controversial scene in “Deadpool & Wolverine” features Nicepool, who wears a man bun. In the scene, Nicepool says, “Oh my goodness, wait until you see Ladypool. She is gorgeous,” and adds, “She just had a baby, too; you can’t even tell.”
Deadpool responds, saying he didn’t think one was supposed to say that. Nicepool replies that it’s fine and identifies himself as a “feminist.”
