Much like the book series, the drama surrounding It Ends With Us is not a simple showdown during the red carpet premiere, akin to Don't Worry Darling, a movie that it matched with curtsy of the drama outside the sets. Five months have passed since the curtain rose on the chaos, and rather than fading gracefully into the wings, the plot has thickened, not unlike a cheap soup, thanks to a fresh allegation that flips the script.

The aftermath of the It Ends With Us movie has raised some serious questions, unfortunately not in the way that was intended, and has further landed in court.

As the two cents given by body analysts on the Internet have multiplied into a lifetime fortune sufficient for feeding a family off billions with clips of Blake Lively from the It Ends With Us press tour and her previous movies surfacing online, the cancel culture could not have been any more fed. As Blake Lively has accused Justin Baldoni of sexual harassment, citing "severe emotional harm" in the California Civil Rights Department, Baldoni also got dropped from his talent agency, WME, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.

While the audience is surprised, Justin Baldoni is shocked. However, the audience is aware of the buildup leading to the allegation and the court case is a telltale that this lawsuit will be unlike any other, except for one, if Baldoni decides to fight back.

It Ends With Us, which was earlier embroiled in cast beef and petty drama, already had its sequel in troubled waters. However, with Lively enveloping other female workers on set in her sexual harassment case against Baldoni, fans cannot help but wonder if and how a sequel will be possible.

Will It Ends With Us have a sequel?

For a movie to have a sequel, one of the requirements, especially if it follows the same character, is for the actors to agree on adding more to the story and coming back to the sets. However, in the case of It Ends With Us cast, it would be a miracle if the cast had an active Hollywood career following the off-set debacle, let alone make a return to the movie set.

While there were still chances earlier with Ryan Reynolds ready to cash in millions to buy out Justin Baldoni from the movie, as the threads untangle, the audiences' pre-mature opinion of the cast being doomed from the get-go becomes more of a fact. With Lively having taken things to the court and Baldoni's representative furiously labeling the allegations as false, this one is definitely going to be a worthwhile watch for the girly pops.
