Justin Baldoni’s upcoming Pac-Man film is facing uncertainty as his legal battle with It Ends With Us co-star Blake Lively escalates. The project, which Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios had been developing since 2022, is reportedly among multiple deals at risk following allegations from Lively accusing Baldoni of sexual harassment and a post-release smear campaign.
In recent weeks, sources claim Baldoni has lost "three jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars" as the controversy unfolds. Wayfarer Studios, co-founded by Baldoni and billionaire Steve Sarowitz, is now seeing many of its business partners reconsider their involvement. While Pac-Man's fate remains unclear, insiders suggest it may still be possible for Baldoni to return to the project once the legal dust settles.
Wayfarer continues to push forward with other productions, including Eleanor the Great (Scarlett Johansson’s directorial debut) and A Nice Indian Boy, though distribution deals for some films remain uncertain. The studio has also halted the development of new projects amid the ongoing legal battle, as Hollywood watches to see how the dispute between Baldoni and Lively unfolds.
