Ryan Reynolds has been everywhere in the past few days but the biggest headlines link him to Hollywood’s shifting power plays, savvy business moves across sports and media, and the ongoing legal storm surrounding his wife, Blake Lively. According to Variety and multiple trade publications, he remains one of Paramount Skydance’s most bankable stars. Industry analysts speculate Reynolds’ first-look pact with the newly rechristened studio means he’s at the epicenter of their push for new blockbuster tentpoles, especially as David Ellison closes the eight billion dollar Paramount deal and seeks to keep Reynolds in the fold. Meanwhile, Ryan’s Maximum Effort venture continues building influence far beyond movies. Social media chatter and a recent viral YouTube analysis point to Reynolds’ latest strategic acquisition: a stake in an F1 team, mirroring his success with Wrexham AFC. There’s speculation, as highlighted by media insiders, that Reynolds secured not just a financial stake in Alpine F1 but also exclusive content creation rights, aiming to exploit the media flywheel Netflix’s Drive to Survive created—a move that would blend sports, storytelling, and global viral moments.
But the biggest story shadowing Reynolds is decidedly more personal. His wife, Blake Lively, is embroiled in a headline-making legal battle with Justin Baldoni, her It Ends With Us director and co-star. According to People and AOL, Reynolds and Lively made a rare joint appearance at the TIME100 Gala where she was honored as one of the year’s most influential people—but they both notably skipped the 2025 Met Gala. The lawsuit, which involves allegations and counterclaims of sexual harassment, defamation, and civil extortion with damages in the hundreds of millions, continues to draw fierce tabloid attention. Social and legal commentators note Reynolds’ support for Lively during high-profile events, including his quips at the Saturday Night Live 50th anniversary, where the scandal was far from ignored.
Professionally, Reynolds earned headlines at the National Board of Review gala, presenting Best Film to Wicked and using the spotlight to make a pointed statement about the double standards faced by women in the industry. On social media, his quick wit endures: he set off a mini-trend when asked if he’s ever watched Lively’s Gossip Girl, responding, I didn’t watch. I drank it through my eyes. Meanwhile, fans continue streaming his older work. Collider and IMDb note that his 2017 sci-fi thriller Life is suddenly a sleeper hit globally. Rounding it all out, TIME recently teased him hinting at more Deadpool adventures on Instagram, keeping Marvel devotees guessing and engagement sky-high. All told, Reynolds is everywhere—on red carpets, in boardrooms, in viral moments, and at the heart of both Hollywood power and personal drama.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
