Robert Downey Jr. UNCOVERS Blake & Ryan’s Secret Plot – How He Avoided Justin Baldoni’s Fate!
After a five-year hiatus, Robert Downey Jr. is making his return to Marvel. But before that, he made headlines for turning down an offer from Ryan Reynolds—one that may have saved him from a potentially dangerous situation.
According to reports, Ryan Reynolds personally approached RDJ to make a cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine, even going so far as to read him the script. But to Ryan’s surprise, Downey Jr. immediately declined.
Why? Well, it seems like RDJ saw through the facade and wanted no part in what was happening behind the scenes. And given recent revelations about Ryan and Blake Lively’s alleged shady dealings in Hollywood, fans are now convinced that Robert Downey Jr. knew something the rest of us didn’t.
A Growing Scandal in Hollywood
Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively’s reputations have taken a hit in recent months, with several Hollywood insiders stepping forward to expose their controlling behavior.
It all started when Justin Baldoni revealed that Ryan Reynolds had essentially tried to sabotage his career. Candace Owens also chimed in, revealing that her sources claim Ryan was the mastermind behind the whole debacle.
According to a source who allegedly worked on the set, Ryan initially had no problem with his wife Blake’s role in It Ends With Us—until he saw the dailies and the script. Suddenly, he was on set regularly, inserting himself into the production process, rewriting lines, and essentially micromanaging the entire film.
The situation escalated further when he reportedly issued an ultimatum to WME, one of the biggest talent agencies in Hollywood, demanding that it was either him and Blake or Justin Baldoni. Shortly after, Baldoni found himself blackballed, losing key opportunities and effectively being pushed out of the industry.
Robert Downey Jr. Says ‘No’ to Ryan Reynolds
Now, enter Robert Downey Jr. Ryan Reynolds, in an attempt to fill Deadpool & Wolverine with as many big-name cameos as possible, reached out to RDJ, hoping to get him to return for a scene alongside Iron Man director Jon Favreau. However, despite being presented with a major opportunity, RDJ declined without hesitation.
The reason given in official reports was that Downey Jr. was already in talks to return as Doctor Doom in an upcoming Marvel project and couldn’t commit to the cameo. But many fans aren’t buying it. Given the recent controversy surrounding Ryan and Blake, they believe RDJ simply didn’t want to get caught up in their mess. If he had agreed, he could have potentially found himself in the same position as Justin Baldoni—trapped in a situation where Ryan and Blake wielded power over his career.
Martha Stewart & Other Celebrities Speak Out
And Robert Downey Jr. isn’t the only one keeping his distance. Even Martha Stewart had some choice words about Ryan Reynolds, stating that he’s “not as funny in real life” and that he’s much more serious and calculated than his public persona suggests.
Meanwhile, Deadpool co-stars Morena Baccarin and TJ Miller have also hinted at tensions with Ryan over the years. Baccarin’s role was significantly reduced in the sequels, despite her being a fan favorite. Many believe this was because Ryan pushed her out to make more space for himself and other characters.
TJ Miller, who played Weasel in the Deadpool films, publicly spoke about how Ryan treated him poorly on set, making unnecessary digs at him and displaying unsettling behavior. Miller even admitted that he wouldn’t work with Ryan again, despite the massive success of the franchise.
Is Ryan Reynolds’ Control Freak Behavior to Blame?
Reports continue to suggest that Ryan and Blake have been wielding too much power behind the scenes, and now, with high-profile actors like Robert Downey Jr. refusing to work with them, it’s becoming increasingly clear that Hollywood insiders are taking notice.
Blake Lively has also been accused of being just as controlling as her husband. The promotional material for A Simple Favor 2 has sparked controversy after fans noticed that despite Anna Kendrick being the bigger star, Blake’s name was positioned higher on the posters, suggesting she pulled strings to alter the billing order.
With these ongoing revelations, it’s becoming evident that RDJ dodged a bullet by turning down Ryan Reynolds’ offer. The Deadpool & Wolverine cameo could have been just the beginning of a much larger scheme—one that might have entangled Downey Jr. in the same industry politics that nearly destroyed Justin Baldoni.
Will Hollywood Continue to Expose Ryan & Blake?
As more celebrities step forward to reveal their experiences working with Ryan and Blake, one thing is clear: their carefully curated image as Hollywood’s favorite power couple is beginning to crumble. And if Robert Downey Jr.’s decision to stay far away from them is any indication, this might just be the beginning of a major industry fallout.
