Fans blamed her for spoiling the movie for her. Blake Lively took to her Instagram handle on Saturday and shared pictures of her in red from the film premiere earlier this week.
The ‘Gossip Girl’ star shared pictures with her husband Ryan Reynolds, who plays Deadpool in the franchise, along with Shawn and Hugh Jackman's girlfriend Gigi Hadid from the event.
Blake also shared a comic book sketch of Lady Deadpool carrying Deadpool in her arms. She wrote along with the pictures, “In 2010 I was on Gossip Girl and about to film my first superhero movie, The Green Lantern with my kind Canadian costar @vancityreynolds He told me, our other costar, another superhero newby @taikawaititi and all of us about @deadpoolmovie for the first time. It was a “meta” superhero. Most of us didn’t know what exactly meta meant back then. Except Taika bc he’s always been more brilliant than the rest of us mortals. We understood in theory, but how it would come together for an audience was murky, for everyone but him. It wasn’t a real dream. The movie was never gonna happen.”
“Just before all this in 2010, @robliefeld drew an unmasked Lady Deadpool for the first time, go to the next slide for his words. @deadpoolmovie wasn’t real. And Rob had no idea I was working with @vancityreynolds,” Blake added. “The universe has such a magical sense of humor sometimes,” she said.
The internet did not take Blake's nostalgia too kindly and blamed her for spoiling the movie. An Instagram user commented, "Thanks for the spoiler Blake…” A user wrote, "Yikes. That’s a spoiler.” “EXCUSE ME GIRL YOU SPOILT THE MOVIE??."
Meanwhile, her fans also defended her and said the casting was an obvious choice. A user commented, "Once she wore that outfit I was convinced she was Lady Deadpool. It’s no surprise.” A comment said, "For everyone saying it’s a spoiler, she’s been credited as Lady Deadpool on iMDB for DAYSSSS.. Also, if you don’t think that outfit was a hint (and a slay)."
