Based on a romantic novel by Colleen Hoover, It Ends With Us stars Blake as a woman named Lily who ends up in an abusive marriage.
In the book, Lily grows up watching her father beat her mother, and though she hopes not to repeat the pattern, she ends up being married to a man who also beats her.
Lily’s abusive husband Ryle is played by Justin, who also directs the film and who shares a writing credit on the screenplay with Christy Hall.
Meanwhile, the steamy Brandon Sklenar, who once played Burt Reynolds in a miniseries, plays Lily’s first love Atlas who resurfaces in her life.
The cast includes comedian Hasan Minhaj, who has been tapped to play the role of Ryle’s best friend and has been seen filming with Justin.
When Blake’s casting was announced, Colleen, who described the book as “loosely inspired by my mom,” gushed about her lead actress on Instagram.
‘Blake Lively, everyone! She’s my dream Lily,” Colleen bellowed in the tearful video, which was filmed in front of the house where she grew up.
“And when I first met Justin Baldoni, who directs the movie for It Ends With Us, I immediately wanted him to be Ryle. I just thought he had it in him.’

She jubilated that “the good news is he’s going to be Ryle”, assuring fans, “I think Justin and Blake have what it takes to bring these characters to life and I can’t wait for you guys to see that happen!”
A number of fans in the comments objected to Blake’s casting, pointing out the age difference between her and Lily, who is 23 in the book.
Regarding her personal life, Blake has been married to Ryan Reynolds for over a decade and the duo are the proud parents of four children.
In addition to their three daughters James, eight, Inez, six, and Betty, three, they also have a baby whose name and gender are yet to be revealed to the public.
