- Marvel requested removal from the legal battle between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively by filing a motion to quash a subpoena on April 25, 2025, in the Southern District of New York.

- This dispute marks escalating litigation between Baldoni, Lively, Reynolds, and Marvel, with a trial scheduled for March 2026 and significant implications for evidence preservation and confidential material protection.
