But things might be changing soon. Yes, you read that right. Ryan Reynolds’ highly anticipated flick might face tough competition from his wife, Blake Lively’s It Ends With Us.
Blake Lively’s Film Could Impact Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool 3
Blake Lively‘s new romantic drama, It Ends With Us, is ready to challenge the superhero movie for the top spot. Based on Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel of the same name, the film has already won over millions.
The story follows Lily Bloom (Lively), a young woman caught between two loves: Ryle Kincaid (Justin Baldoni), a charming neurosurgeon, and her first love, Atlas Corrigan (Brandon Sklenar). Although the book is loved by many fans, it has also been criticized for showing toxic relationships.

Even the film’s pre-sale numbers of the film are amazing. According to industry insiders (via Deadline), they’ve beaten Sony’s previous romantic hit, Where the Crawdads Sing, by four times. This huge surge in interest has Hollywood studios and box office analysts paying close attention.
