A significant part of the ongoing Hollywood feud between Blake Lively and her It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni revolves around the actress's attempt to take control of the film.

Now, fans believe they've uncovered a new twist, noticing striking similarities between a controversial scene in which Blake accuses Baldoni of sexual harassment and her first movie with husband Ryan Reynolds, Green Lantern.

Lively and Baldoni are set to face off in court next year after the director responded with counterclaims of defamation and trying to ruin his reputation and career.

Last month, the director, 41, released unedited footage of a dance scene between him and Blake after she accused him of making inappropriate comments, including dragging his lips down her neck and saying "it smells so good."

In her legal complaint, the actress, 37, claimed that no one overheard the remark because the romantic montage was silent, and the microphones were off.

However, DailyMail.com revealed that Justin's sound equipment was actually on, and while Justin can be heard saying her fake tan 'smells good' as they joke, Blake's legal team insists "the video itself is damning."

The now-married couple famously worked together on *Green Lantern* in 2010 when he was married to Scarlett Johansson, and she was dating Gossip Girl co-star Penn Badgley.

In the film, the characters of Hal Jordan and Carol Ferris share a romantic dance scene around 30 minutes in, which one fan pointed out mirrors a similar moment from It Ends With Us.

Taking to Twitter, the observant fan wrote: "I noticed that about 30 mins into the film, there's a scene where Lively and Reynolds characters dance in a bar in an almost identical way to the slow dance scene from IEWU. The only difference is the characters were talking."

The fan then suggested: "Could it be possible that Lively was trying to recreate the scene to be similar to the scene she did with her husband when she fell in love with him?

Did she rewrite the scene to mirror the details of the dance? Is this what she means when she says her husband is 'all over this movie'?"

She previously told E! News: "The iconic rooftop scene, my husband actually wrote it. Nobody knows that, but you now."

The parallels between the two scenes have led fans to speculate whether Blake could have come up with the idea for the dance scene or if she mirrored her previous acting with her husband in the new film.
