Ryan Reynolds Skips Blake Lively’s ‘Another Simple Favor’ Premiere Amid Legal Drama

by

The pair, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, have consistently caught the attention of the general public, just like any other famous duo. Recently, they’ve been making headlines due to a series of controversies surrounding the adaptation of the book-to-movie project, “It Ends With Us,” available for streaming with a Netflix subscription. Fans started asking questions when Reynolds missed the premiere of “Another Simple Favor.” A source hinted that this was not an accident, possibly due to their appearance in Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary special.

Information regarding Another Simple Favor is scarce, but early responses for its sequel have been favorable. As we eagerly anticipate its release, accessible only through Amazon Prime, people took notice when Reynolds was absent at his wife’s premiere event. An unidentified source spoke to Daily Mail about the reason behind Reynolds’ absence from the red carpet, stating:

The Saturday Night Live appearance served as a gauge of how the public would respond to them. This was their first joint performance since Blake filed for divorce, and it didn’t appear promising for their future. Now, both Ryan and Blake understand that, in order for their careers to endure, they must avoid working on the same projects, as everything they do together will face intense scrutiny.

Here it is. Following their involvement in Justin Baldoni’s libel lawsuit, there appears to be a shift in the public’s view of Lively and Reynolds. Their recent absence from joint public events, such as the Saturday Night Live 50th special (available for streaming with a Peacock subscription), suggests they may be temporarily stepping back from joint appearances.

We’ve got a few months left before “Another Simple Favor” hits theaters wide, and it will be intriguing to find out if the controversy surrounding “It Ends With Us” affects public perception of Paul Feig’s upcoming sequel. In the same update, an insider dished more about what’s rumored to be going on behind the scenes, claiming:

Blake is hesitant about her professional path due to the criticism she’s faced. She fears the possibility of starting a family without financial stability, while also acknowledging that Ryan’s career seems resilient amidst similar challenges.

It appears quite concerning indeed. Actors can face swift repercussions like being blacklisted, and if the insider’s claims are accurate, it seems the former Gossip Girl cast member might be in a similar predicament. Moreover, considering the potential costs of Baldoni and Lively’s lawsuits, the overall situation definitely feels quite intense.

Audience members have been eagerly anticipating the release of the film “Another Simple Favor“, following years of excitement since its predecessor was positively received (check out TopMob’s review of “A Simple Favor” here). It remains to be seen if it will also carry a hefty price tag, given that it bypasses theaters for streaming. The sequel is set to premiere on May 1st as part of the 2025 movie lineup, and fans will undoubtedly keep an eye out for any public appearances by Lively and Reynolds together.
