Ryan Reynolds attends a scheduled fan event rather than being present for a World Cup-related appearance with his wife, Blake Lively. Multiple reports say Reynolds is booked for an event at a festival called “The Art of Deadpool with Ryan Reynolds,” and he appears there several hours before the World Cup begins. The accounts also connect the decision to broader public attention around Reynolds and Lively, including commentary about celebrity event attendance; however, the core reporting centers on Reynolds following an existing engagement. The reports describe the timing as intentional in the sense that the fan event is set to occur earlier than the World Cup start, making it incompatible with attending a World Cup moment with Lively at that time. Across the coverage provided, the information is consistent that Reynolds’ appearance is linked to a planned festival schedule rather than an ad hoc choice at the last minute. None of the sources provided offer new details about any specific plans for Reynolds and Lively related to the World Cup beyond the implied contrast with his festival appearance.
