Blake Lively Reveals Ryan Reynolds' Contribution to New Film at Premiere

Blake Lively recently disclosed that her husband, Ryan Reynolds, penned a pivotal scene in her latest film, *It Ends with Us*, during its New York premiere. Lively shared that the "iconic rooftop scene," which marks the first encounter between her character, Lily Bloom, and Ryle Kincaid, played by Justin Baldoni, was a creative contribution from Reynolds. The couple, known for their collaborative spirit, has been busy as Reynolds' *Deadpool & Wolverine* continues to shatter box office records. In a surprising twist, Lively also confirmed her cameo in *Deadpool & Wolverine*, portraying Lady Deadpool, a female variant of the titular character. She revealed that her connection to the role dates back over a decade, as Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld used her likeness for an unmasked version of Lady Deadpool in 2010. Lively shared a screenshot from 2022 where Liefeld expressed his admiration for her, hinting at her long-standing association with the character. Critics have weighed in on *It Ends with Us*, with The Independent’s Clarisse Loughrey giving the film a two-star rating. She praised Lively's performance, highlighting the emotional depth of her character, who grapples with the shadows of an abusive past. However, Loughrey criticized the film for its reliance on clichéd romantic tropes, suggesting that while the sincerity is present, the execution falters under the weight of sentimentality.
