The below contains spoilers from Deadpool & Wolverine.

This story ends with Blake Lively.

After her role as Lady Deadpool in husband Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman‘s Deadpool & Wolverine was revealed, the It Ends With Us star shared the incredible journey of how she wound up being cast in the Marvel film. 

And the story dates back farther than you’d think. After all, Deadpool comic book creator Rob Liefield already had the actress in mind when he drew his first version of the unmasked superhero in 2010, as he and wife Joy Liefield were huge fans of another iconic character Blake played.

“Joy and I were crazy uber Gossip Girl fans (who wasn’t right?), never missing a single episode,” Rob wrote in a screenshot shared by Blake in a July 26 Instagram post. “Yup, I pleaded a strong case that Wanda Wilson was stunning blonde, no scars and Marvel thought that was a cool idea. Invoked Blake on GG and they gave me the thumbs up.”
