Ryan Reynolds missed the Critics Choice Awards despite his film 'Deadpool & Wolverine' winning Best Comedy, due to attending a JP Morgan summit. He later expressed gratitude on Instagram. Meanwhile, his wife Blake Lively is engaged in a legal battle with co-star Justin Baldoni, who has filed a $400 million lawsuit against her. Lively has accused Baldoni of sexual harassment and retaliatory behavior, and they are scheduled to go to trial in March 2026. This backdrop adds tension to Reynolds' award recognition.
The ex costars are now set to head to trial on March 9, 2026. The court date for the case was scheduled by Judge Lewis J. Liman in a legal order filed on Monday, according to court documents obtained by The Post.
Reynolds, 48, took to Instagram hours after the Critic's Choice ceremony to acknowledge his win - and reveal his whereabouts.
Lively previously filed a lawsuit against Baldoni and his associates in December, making claims of sexual harassment - which included allegedly walking in on her breast-pumping for her newborn.
The 'Deadpool & Wolverine' win comes after Baldoni's attorneys filed a $400 million lawsuit last month, claiming the 'Gossip Girl' alum took certain measures to gain control over the 2024 film.
