Blake Lively recently stirred excitement and controversy on Instagram by sharing her joy about voicing Lady Deadpool in the upcoming film “Deadpool & Wolverine,” directed by Shawn Levy. In a heartfelt post, Lively reflected on her journey with the character and her connection to the franchise, dating back to her time on “Gossip Girl” and her superhero debut in “The Green Lantern.”
Lively posted several pictures, including shots from a recent film premiere where she appeared alongside her husband, Ryan Reynolds, who plays Deadpool, director Shawn Levy, and Hugh Jackman. She also shared a comic book sketch of Lady Deadpool carrying Deadpool, expressing her admiration for the character and its creators. Lively reminisced about how Reynolds first introduced her and their co-star Taika Waititi to the concept of a “meta” superhero like Deadpool in 2010, even before the movie became a reality.
However, Lively’s post sparked mixed reactions online, with some fans accusing her of spoiling the film. Comments ranged from “Thanks for the spoiler Blake…” to “Yikes. That’s a spoiler.” Others, however, defended her, pointing out that her casting as Lady Deadpool had been widely speculated and even listed on IMDb for some time. One commenter noted, “Once she wore that outfit I was convinced she was Lady Deadpool. It’s no surprise.”
Despite the mixed reactions, Lively’s post highlights her excitement and deep connection to the Deadpool universe, as well as the anticipation building around the upcoming film. The controversy also underscores the fine line celebrities walk when sharing details about their projects with eager fans.
