ANOTHER Deadpool & Wolverine scene is facing backlash amid Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, and Justin Baldoni’s legal battle… And this time it involves the couple’s kid!
If you’ve seen the Marvel film, you’ll likely remember the alternate reality child version of Deadpool, fittingly named Kidpool. You may recall Ryan and Blake’s 8-year-old daughter Inez played the role… And while she’s much younger than the superhero, she was equally as foul mouthed.
Earlier this week, TikTok influencer Stephanie Tleiji shared a clip of Inez’s scene in the movie, in which she barks an expletive-ridden insult at Ryan’s character that would make anyone’s ears cringe:
“Hey, when I want your opinion, I’ll take Wolverine’s d**k out of your mouth.”
The TikToker also shared audio from a behind-the-scenes interview with Ryan and director Shawn Levy, in which the Atom Project star begrudgingly admits he allowed his daughter to speak such foul language:
“Guiltily, that is my daughter Inez and I am father of the year over here for allowing her to say such language, which to her credit she really didn’t want to say and then said ‘I want to say it now’ when I started looking at other people to play.”
So in other words, she went against her better judgment to please her father?? Yeesh.
Shawn then adds:
“Yeah but Ryan, to our discredit, we made Nezi do I’m not s**tting you, 70 to 500 versions of that line.”
Um, WHAT?! 70 to 500 times?! After she didn’t even want to say it to begin with?! There’s NO world where they really needed her to repeat the line THAT many times. Come on! And before you ask, “What did Blake have to say?” Well, she was a part of the scene, too! As Ladypool! So she was likely right there on set!
Ryan quips:
“Yeah, I’m going to pay for that later.”
Well, it’s later. The TikToker called the line reading — and the fact that Ryan wrote it and practiced it with Inez — “disgusting.” She also pointed out the “hypocrisy” of Ryan calling Justin a “predator” in his legal filings over It Ends with Us.
@stephwithdadeets RR’s voice gives me the heebie jeebies ???? #ryanreynolds #deadpool #justinbaldoni #nicepool #blakelively #itendswithus #celebritynews #greenscreen
In the comments, users let their opinions be heard… And let’s just say they’re not in defense of Ryan:
“It ends with embarrassment”
“Dude’s literally joking about coercive behavior.”
“The fact that Justin has literally done nothing and they have just been embarrassing themselves and and blaming him for the outcome is hilarious to me.”
“The line isn’t just morally questionable, it’s not even funny”
“Coercive control, making her feel like she’ll be replaced so sick”
“As a mother, I’d NEVER let my husband do this to our kids”
“She was wearing a mask. Why not just have a female adult say that line in post production?”
“not the foreshadowing ‘I’m gonna pay for this later’”
YIKES.
This all comes after a different scene was previously called into question. You know, the one featuring Nicepool — a character Justin’s lawyer Brian Freedman fully believes is a parody of his client.
