Ryan Reynold's 'horrifically mean' treatment of T.J. Miller revealed amid Justin Baldoni lawsuits
Miller, 43, previously stated during an October 2022 interview on
The Adam Corolla Show
that he would not work with Reynolds, 48, again, citing allegedly 'horrifically mean' behavior by Reynolds on the sets of the
Deadpool
films. Miller portrayed Weasel, a bartender and friend to Deadpool, in the franchise's first two films.

In the interview, Miller recounted an incident where Reynolds, seemingly in character as Deadpool, made comments that Miller found demeaning.
'As the character, he was, like, horrifically mean to me,' Miller claimed, before sharing an alleged incident from the filming of the second film. 'But to me. As if I'm Weasel.'
The Big Hero 6 star continued, 'He was like, "You know what's great about you, Weasel? You're not the star, but you do just enough exposition that it's funny and then we can leave and get back to the real movie."'
However, Miller clarified that he bore no ill will toward Reynolds but felt their dynamic was uncomfortable. Days later, on the
Jim Norton & Sam Roberts Show
, Miller revealed that Reynolds had reached out via email to resolve the misunderstanding, and the two were on amicable terms.
The resurfacing of Miller's comments coincides with renewed attention on Reynolds due to ongoing legal disputes involving his wife, actress Blake Lively, 37, and her
It Ends With Us
director and co-star Justin Baldoni, 41. Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, accusing him of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment. Baldoni, who denied the allegations, countersued for $400 million, alleging defamation by Lively, Reynolds, and her publicist.

Reynolds has since moved forward professionally, starring in
Deadpool & Wolverine
alongside Hugh Jackman, 56, which premiered in July 2024. Despite the public airing of grievances, Miller acknowledged Reynolds' success in the role of Deadpool and wished him well in his career.

Is Taylor Swift's new song about Blake Lively?
Taylor Swift and Blake Lively, once one of Hollywood's most famous best friend duos, are reportedly no longer on speaking terms. The shift in their friendship comes at a time when Swift is preparing to release her highly anticipated new album The Life of a Showgirl, set for October, and speculation is mounting that one of its tracks may shed light on their current rift. According to People, a source close to the pair has revealed that the two have not been communicating in recent months. Their friendship, which dates back to 2014, first faced public scrutiny when Swift's name became tied to Blake Lively's legal battle with her It Ends With Us co-star and director Justin Baldoni. Baldoni's team at one point alleged that Swift had influenced him to accept rewrites proposed by Lively, a claim later dismissed. Although Swift was eventually dropped from the case after a subpoena was withdrawn, her name had already become entangled in the ongoing feud. Swift's representatives argued at the time that her involvement was used merely to generate tabloid headlines rather than to address facts in the case. Now, attention has turned to Swift's upcoming single Ruin the Friendship, which appears on her new record. Fans online are speculating that the song is inspired by her deteriorating relationship with Lively. The timing of the track announcement, just as rumours of a fallout surfaced, has only fuelled further theories across social media. The friendship between the pop icon and the actress once seemed unshakable. Swift is godmother to Lively and Ryan Reynolds' children, and their daughter James famously featured on Swift's Reputation track Gorgeous, while all three of their daughters were name-checked on her album Folklore. While neither Swift nor Lively has directly commented on the state of their relationship, multiple sources suggest the two are not in the same place they once were. Whether Ruin the Friendship offers clues remains to be seen, but Swift's fans are already dissecting every lyric ahead of the album's October 3 release.

Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool confirmed for Avengers: Doomsday with surprising twist
Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool is officially set to appear in Avengers: Doomsday, but with one major twist. According to The Hollywood Reporter, while Wade Wilson will be part of the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) blockbuster, he will not join the Avengers team in the film. Avengers: Doomsday marks the return of the Avengers franchise after the Multiverse Saga introduced no new entries. Marvel revealed the film's cast earlier this year, including returning MCU veterans like Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Tom Hiddleston as Loki. The announcement also confirmed several unexpected appearances from Fox's original X-Men cast, including James Marsden, Ian McKellen, and Patrick Stewart. The casting news sparked speculation about the movie's plot, especially with the inclusion of characters from past Marvel adaptations. However, the initial absence of Deadpool, Wolverine, and Spider-Man left fans questioning how the crossover events would unfold. Reynolds recently hinted at his involvement through social media, fueling rumors that were confirmed with this latest report. While Deadpool will appear, his role will reportedly be separate from the Avengers' main storyline. Filming for Avengers: Doomsday is set to begin soon, with the cast list expected to expand further as Marvel continues to surprise fans with unexpected additions from across its cinematic history.

Reynolds fuels speculation over 'Deadpool' return
Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds has sent Marvel fans into a frenzy after posting a mysterious image on Instagram this week, reviving speculation about his return in the upcoming blockbuster Avengers: Doomsday. The post, which featured the Avengers logo defaced with Deadpool-style red graffiti, instantly grabbed attention across social media. The stylised design — resembling both the iconic Avengers "A" and an anarchy symbol — has been interpreted by fans as a deliberate hint at the wisecracking anti-hero's involvement in the film. Reynolds' portrayal of Deadpool has become one of the most popular characters in the Marvel pantheon since the release of Deadpool (2016) and Deadpool 2 (2018). His most recent outing, last year's Deadpool & Wolverine, became a global phenomenon, raking in $1.3 billion at the box office and uniting him on screen with Hugh Jackman's Wolverine for the first time under the Marvel Studios banner. Despite the character's success, Marvel's official "big chair" cast reveal for Avengers: Doomsday did not include Reynolds. However, the film's sprawling, multiverse-driven storyline — combined with Deadpool's unpredictable, fourth-wall-breaking nature — has kept speculation alive for months. The timing of Reynolds' post is also fuelling excitement. Marvel is deep into production on Doomsday, and insiders suggest that another major cast announcement could be imminent. The film, which is slated to release ahead of Avengers: Secret Wars, is being positioned as a pivotal chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), bringing together characters from multiple timelines and franchises. Filming has been under way for several months, with set photos revealing appearances by Sam Wilson's Avengers line-up, members of The Thunderbolts and The Fantastic Four, and even legacy X-Men characters. Leaked images have shown actors Patrick Stewart (Professor X), James Marsden (Cyclops), and Ian McKellen (Magneto) reprising their roles from the former Fox X-Men films. The return to the Fox X-Men universe has only heightened hopes for a Deadpool & Wolverine reunion within Doomsday. Given Reynolds' history of teasing fans with playful misdirection, many are reading the Instagram post as more than just a joke. Marvel Studios has remained tight-lipped about the possibility. A spokesperson declined to comment on casting rumours, saying only that Avengers: Doomsday will feature "some of the most unexpected alliances in MCU history." For now, the speculation game continues - and if Reynolds' online track record is anything to go by, fans can expect more cryptic clues before the studio makes anything official. Avengers: Doomsday is currently set for worldwide release in May 2026.
