The ongoing legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni has taken an unexpected turn

as fans draw attention to a striking similarity between a scene in It Ends With Us and a moment from Lively’s 2010 film Green Lantern, where she starred alongside her now-husband, Ryan Reynolds.

This observation has sparked widespread speculation about Lively’s creative choices on set, her dynamic with Baldoni,

and whether Reynolds played a behind-the-scenes role in shaping the film.

The resurfaced comparison has only added to the intrigue surrounding the lawsuit between the two co-stars, raising questions about how personal relationships influence artistic collaborations in Hollywood.

A Dance Scene That Looks All Too Familiar

In It Ends With Us, Lively and Baldoni share an emotional slow dance in a pivotal moment of the film. Fans have noted that the choreography and overall mood of the scene bear a striking resemblance to a sequence in Green Lantern, where Lively and Reynolds’ characters share a similarly intimate dance.

One social media user pointed out, “There’s a scene where Lively and Reynolds’ characters dance in a bar in an almost identical way to the slow dance scene from It Ends With Us. Could it be possible that Lively was trying to recreate the scene?” This theory has gained traction among fans who believe Lively may have intentionally mirrored the moment as a personal nod to her relationship with Reynolds.

Lively has previously spoken about the collaborative nature of her marriage, stating, “We help each other, we work together so much… he works on everything I do, I work on everything he does.” Given this, some believe Reynolds may have had creative input on It Ends With Us, potentially influencing the dance scene and other elements of the film’s production.

How the Lawsuit Between Lively and Baldoni Unfolded

While these fan theories add another layer of intrigue to the film, the legal battle between Lively and Baldoni remains the central focus. In December 2024, Lively filed a lawsuit accusing Baldoni of sexual harassment and leading a smear campaign against her. The lawsuit sent shockwaves through Hollywood, as the two had initially appeared to have a strong working relationship on the film.

Baldoni has vehemently denied the allegations, filing a countersuit for defamation. His legal team claims that Lively and Reynolds worked together to tarnish his reputation and wrest creative control of the project. This countersuit has only fueled speculation about Reynolds’ involvement in the dispute, with some questioning whether his alleged input in It Ends With Us extended beyond creative decisions into the legal arena.

Ryan Reynolds’ “SNL” Controversy Adds Fuel to the Fire

The lawsuit took an even more dramatic turn during the Saturday Night Live 50th Anniversary Special in February 2025. Reynolds, known for his sharp humor, made a joke about the legal battle during the event, a move that immediately sparked backlash. Critics argued that making light of such serious allegations could discourage other victims from coming forward and trivialize the very real issues at play.

Legal experts weighed in on the controversy, with some pointing out that Reynolds’ comments could have unintended consequences, potentially affecting public perception of the case before it goes to trial. Others noted that his involvement in the lawsuit—whether direct or indirect—raises questions about whether his public statements could impact the legal proceedings.

The Road to Trial: What Comes Next?

With the trial set for March 2026, the legal drama between Lively and Baldoni continues to evolve, with new details and theories emerging regularly. The resurfaced dance scene comparison, combined with the complexities of Lively and Reynolds’ involvement in each other’s work, has only added to the layers of intrigue surrounding the case.

As Hollywood watches closely, one thing is clear—this is not just a standard legal dispute. It’s a case that highlights the blurred lines between personal relationships, artistic expression, and the harsh realities of working in the entertainment industry. With both sides preparing for what promises to be a high-profile courtroom showdown, the outcome of this battle could have lasting implications for everyone involved.
