Has the It Ends With Us franchise come to an finish after simply the primary movie?! It appears doubtless with the solid in a full-on standoff!
Earlier than the Colleen Hoover e book adaptation hit theaters earlier this month, rumors of a beef between Blake Full of life and Justin Baldoni unfold on-line as she refused to do any promo or talk about her co-star (who was additionally the movie’s director). It was rapidly clear that he was additionally getting shut out by the remainder of the solid.
We nonetheless don’t 100% know what went down on that set, however most sources have agreed this feud has one thing to do with inventive variations. There are additionally allegations that the Gossip Lady alum was impolite and overbearing (as evidenced by resurfaced interview clips), and claims that the Jane the Virgin star was “borderline abusive,” making the set an uncomfortable place to be, particularly for the main girl.

To this point, Brandon Sklenar is the one one who has instantly addressed the controversy. With out clarifying the feud rumors, he stood up for Blake on-line this week, bashing the best way the actress and different girls on set have been “vilified.” However, it’s clear there’s an enormous rift amongst this solid — and it might be SO unhealthy that it may cease the potential for a sequel!
Should you don’t know, It Ends With Us was adopted by It Begins With Us, which chronicles Lily Bloom’s romance with Atlas (aka Blake, and Brandon) whereas navigating co-parenting with Justin’s character Ryle. The primary movie has already made greater than $200 million globally, so a sequel would usually be a no brainer. However with the 5 Toes Aside director being such an integral a part of the primary movie and on the heart of this ongoing drama, it might be unimaginable to make the subsequent one! Uh-oh!
DailyMail.com received the news on Thursday with sources claiming that the way forward for the franchise is in jeopardy, sharing:
“It’s laborious to think about Justin desirous to work with Blake — or vice versa — in any case this unhealthy blood. No matter began this feud, there actually has been no apparent rapprochement between the pair.”
If the solid can’t stand to be close to the director and even acknowledge his existence throughout the press tour, how are they anticipated to work together on a movie set once more?? It does appear fairly unimaginable. However that’s not even the largest drawback!!!
You see, Justin wasn’t simply an actor, producer, or director… he additionally owns the rights! Justin’s manufacturing firm secured the movie rights for the primary e book, and based on insiders, he already purchased the rights to the second e book, as properly. So, he holds all the ability.
Contemplating Blake and Colleen reportedly banded collectively towards him within the making of IEWU, it may not be straightforward for them to persuade Justin at hand over the rights to another person, or allow them to movie it with out his involvement (ought to that be the best way they wish to proceed). However they will attempt!
FWIW, Justin has gushed about Blake throughout his promo, even insisting that she’d be a greater match to direct the second film if it will get made. So, he doesn’t appear completely against it. Nevertheless it would be difficult!
We may see a world wherein he formally palms over the reins to Ryan Reynolds‘ spouse, making it so that they now not need to struggle about inventive choices. They might restrict their interactions on set as a lot as doable to make it extra bearable, too. After all, that’s assuming nothing too severe occurred and that Blake and the remainder of the solid can be prepared to be close to the actor once more.
It appears extra doubtless proper now that no person would wish to work with the Man Sufficient podcast host. So, what then? Properly, they may all the time recast him! That might solely make all this feud hypothesis worse, however it will keep away from uncomfortable conditions on set! He’d need to be prepared to stroll away, although, and with everybody’s egos being so large in Hollywood, it’s laborious to know if he’d react properly to that concept. Guess we’ll see!
Predictions? Do YOU wish to see a sequel? And in that case, how do you suppose they need to navigate it?? Inform us within the feedback (under)!
