A Simple Favor 2 director disputes claim that the Blake Lively film has been scrapped

Director Paul Feig assures fans that A Simple Favor 2, the sequel to the 2018 film starring Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively, will still be released this year. Recent rumors sparked confusion about the movie’s status, but Feig debunked them on Twitter, stating that the film is completed and on track for a spring/summer release.

Feig explained that post-production takes time, and the studio carefully selects the best release date for the film, hence the delay in announcing a specific date. Despite the delay, Feig remains confident in the sequel’s quality and the performances of Kendrick and Lively.

The original A Simple Favor was well-received and commercially successful, paving the way for a sequel. Feig directs the follow-up, with a returning cast and a mysterious plot that will keep audiences intrigued until its release.

Kendrick, Lively, and the rest of the ensemble cast are set to reprise their roles in the sequel. Feig assures fans that the movie is worth the wait and encourages them to look forward to its upcoming release.

For those eager to catch up on the original film, A Simple Favor is currently available for streaming on Netflix, while its sequel’s release date is yet to be announced.
