The source of the conflict reportedly began when Lively and Justin who were both a big part of the movie’s success did not promote the film together and were absent from each other’s events as if they both were promoting their individual ideas of the film that clearly that both didn’t agree on.
The sequel of It Ends with Us will continue where the original film left off and would pick Atlas and Lily’s story back again with Ryle in the mix.
As reported by The Hindustan Times:
“Justin, who helmed the first part, is also willing to step back from direction in the sequel. He told Entertainment Tonight at the film’s premiere, “I think there are better people for that. I think Blake Lively’s ready to direct.” Even if Blake directs (she’s previously directed BFF Taylor Swift’s 2022 music video I Bet You Think About Me), she’ll have to negotiate with Justin in his capacity as the leading producer, who owns the rights to the book adaptations.”
