The first trailer has been released for Blake Lively's first film since It Ends with Us.
This comes amid a highly publicised legal battle, with Blake Lively taking her It Ends with Us co-star and director Justin Baldoni to court.
Baldoni sued her right back in a spat that has become so public the pair have been repeatedly chastised by a judge for 'litigating in public'.

The first film back after this is Another Simple Favour, the sequel to Lively's 2018 Paul Feig film in which she starred alongside Anna Kendrick.
The sequel brings back both Lively and Kendrick despite the first film ending with (spoilers) Kendrick tricking Lively's character and sending her to prison.

Rather than ignoring the controversy, the film's director Paul Feig addressed things head on when prompted on Instagram.

While Lively claims the conflict between herself and Baldoni arose due to his sexual harassment, Baldoni claims it arose from conflict over differing cuts of the film and creative control.
As a result Feig was asked on Instagram whether the film would be his cut or Lively's, leading to him defending the actor, saying: "It’s my cut. There is no other cut.
"Blake has been nothing but supportive and a dream to work with.
"She is the best and an amazing collaborator and I’m her biggest fan. Just wanted to clear that up."

Another Simple Favour will release on Prime Video May 1, 2025.
