Feud Halt Progress on ‘It Ends With Us’ Sequel; Fans Hope For Resolution

Date:

Key Takeaways:
– Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s feud may stall the sequel of the hit 2024 film ‘It Ends With Us.’
– Despite the movie’s success, the actors’ issue has left its likelihood in question.
– Social media tension and on-set disagreements have further fueled the situation.
– If resolved, Baldoni might pass directorial duties to Lively.
– Sony and fan expectations hang in the balance as the sequel’s fate remains uncertain.

Hey folks! If you loved the 2024 movie ‘It Ends With Us,’ then this piece of news might be a bitter pill to swallow. The spat between the lead actors, Blake Lively of ‘Gossip Girl’ fame and Justin Baldoni, might deprive us of a much-awaited sequel!

When a film becomes as successful as ‘It Ends With Us,’ studios are normally quick to get the sequel on the floor. The film, based on Colleen Hoover’s bestselling book, has been a runaway hit, raking in a cool $242 million, despite its modest $25 million production cost. So, it’s no wonder a sequel was in sight.

“But wait, why does this squabble matter to the sequel?” you might ask. Well, an inside source believes it’s unlikely that Lively and Baldoni will work together again. This shot of sour news is due to their rocky relationship. Apparently, the duo does not see eye-to-eye, which seems to be the movie’s ticking time bomb.

Fueling the Feud

The scuffle between the actors reportedly started at the movie’s New York premiere. Baldoni was upset for not being photographed with the rest of the cast. Moreover, he was absent when Lively and Hoover presented their work. It even trickled into the social media world – it seems like none of the film’s stars, except Hasan Minhaj, follow Baldoni.

Adding fuel to the fire was a disagreement over the film’s final cut. It turns out that Lively’s version was the one chosen to grace the silver screen, which did not sit well with Baldoni. They also ran into potential issues with the Writer’s Guild of America. The twist? Lively’s hubby, Ryan Reynolds, helped her write a scene in the final version. This scenario could ruffle a few feathers since it was completed just three days after a WGA strike started.

A Sour Aftertaste

As it stands now, the feud leaves an unfavorable impact on ‘It Ends With Us.’ It’s like unfavorable clouds gathering over our favorite parade. But, all is not lost! Despite Baldoni holding the cinematic rights through his Wayfarer Studios and holding a minor role in the sequel, there’s still hope. If the sequel were to materialize, Baldoni hinted he might hand over the directorial reins to Lively.

However, this plight leaves Sony caught between a difficult choice – the studio would ideally want to rush the sequel into production, but the ongoing feud might slow things down. We will have to wait and see how this plays out!

What are your thoughts on the feud and the possibility of a sequel to ‘It Ends With Us’? Don’t forget to share in the comments section!

Despite the uncertain outcome, fans can only hope that a resolution to the feud will pave the way for a sequel to this massive hit – so fingers crossed for some peace-making between Lively and Baldoni!
