Justin Baldoni is taking legal action against his "It Ends With Us" co-star and her husband in a lawsuit he filed on Thursday.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — “It Ends With Us” actor and director Justin Baldoni has sued his co-star Blake Lively and her husband, “Deadpool” actor Ryan Reynolds, for defamation and extortion on Thursday in the latest move in a bitter legal battle surrounding the dark romantic drama.

The lawsuits surrounding It Ends With Us keep making headlines.

Ryan Reynolds is investing in another soccer team after a successful run with the English club Wrexham A.F.C. in recent years, amid the ongoing lawsuits between him, his wife Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.

Justin Baldoni, director of It Ends With Us, sues co-star Blake Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds, sparking a major legal dispute.

The "Deadpool" franchise is named in Justin Baldoni's new lawsuit against "It Ends With Us" costar Blake Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds. Here's why.

Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, had said for weeks he planned to file a suit against Lively, Baldoni’s co-star on “It End With Us,” and Reynolds, Lively’s husband.

The lawsuit is the latest legal action in a feud tied to the 2024 film “It Ends With Us,” which starred Ms. Lively and Mr. Baldoni, who also directed the film.

Lively's legal team spoke up hours after Baldoni filed a suit against her and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, over what transpired on the set of 'It Ends With Us' and in the weeks following the movie's release.

But the ongoing feud of Justin Baldoni vs Blake Lively, has taken the industry by storm. Lawsuits are flying from both sides and the battle over the production of It Ends With Us keeps being nastier and dramatic with each passing day.

Ryan Reynolds has announced he is investing in another soccer club, with the significant business move coming the same day it was revealed that he and his wife Blake Lively are being sued for $400 million by her It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni.
