Justin Baldoni’s Pac-Man Movie in Jeopardy as Legal Battle with Blake Lively Escalates

Justin Baldoni’s Pac-Man Movie at Risk Amid Legal Battle with Blake Lively

Legal Dispute Puts Pac-Man Movie in Jeopardy

Justin Baldoni’s highly anticipated Pac-Man movie may be on hold as his ongoing legal fight with Blake Lively continues to escalate. The two actors, who co-starred in It Ends With Us, are set for a March 2026 trial over conflicting allegations related to events on set.

Since Lively accused Baldoni of sexual harassment, he has reportedly lost multiple projects, including three major film deals. 

Allegations and Counterclaims

Lively claims Baldoni engaged in inappropriate behavior on set and attempted to add unapproved nudity and sex scenes to the film. Following her complaint to HR, she alleges he launched a smear campaign against her. Baldoni, in turn, has filed a $250 million libel lawsuit against The New York Times and later sued Lively and Ryan Reynolds for $400 million, citing extortion and defamation.

Future of the Pac-Man Project

Reports indicate that the Pac-Man movie, which Baldoni had been developing since 2022, is now in serious doubt. With his studio lacking financial backing, the project's fate remains uncertain.
