    There’s nothing indicating that Reynolds has anything to do with this, nor any reason to believe he could have anything to do with this. Only the rights holders can bring legal actions over copyright. Acting in a movie doesn’t make Reynolds the rights holder.

    I really don’t feel like I should even be having to explain this.

      I have to wonder if the aptly named Hitman Two Productions was even aware that this shakedown was going on.

        “Something must be done! This is something, ergo it must be done!”

        Hitting Ryan Reynolds makes absolutely zero sense in this, unless there’s evidence I’m unaware of that he was a) aware of, and b) on board with these legal actions. Randomly spraying bullets in a crowd that might have a murderer in it isn’t how you punish murderers. I find it really hard to believe I even have to say this.

        You do know that the days of actors being tied to a single studio ended quite some time ago, right? As in, “before most of us were born.”

        If you’re going to exact punishment, it generally helps to apply it to the people responsible, not innocent bystanders.
