Actress Blake Lively recently opened up about working with director Paul Feig on the sequel to “A Simple Favor” at the SXSW festival. Lively expressed her excitement about reprising her favorite character and working with Feig again. She shared how Feig had a surprise twist planned for the film, which made her nervous but ultimately added an unexpected element to the movie. Despite the discomfort of watching the new idea on screen, Lively appreciated how it upped the ante for the sequel.
The actress’s appearance at the festival marked a break from her ongoing legal battle with “It Ends With Us” director Justin Baldoni. Lively, along with her husband Ryan Reynolds, had filed a lawsuit against Baldoni accusing him of retaliation following her allegations of sexual harassment during filming. Baldoni denied the claims and filed a countersuit against the couple.
Despite the legal drama, Lively and Reynolds seemed to be in good spirits as they attended the “SNL50: The Anniversary Special” in New York City. The couple’s public appearance together marked a return to the spotlight for Lively, who had been keeping a low profile amidst the legal proceedings. Reynolds even joked about the situation on the red carpet, showing that they were handling the situation with humor.
