Justin Baldoni is reportedly eager to reunite with Blake Lively on the set of the sequel to 'It Ends With Us,' after seemingly mending their once-feud. The 42-year-old actor, who recently wrapped up his legal battle with Blake, believes it's the perfect time to shift his focus towards the second installment of the romantic film.
"Justin finally feels like he can breathe again, for months, it was nonstop lawsuits, backlash, and crisis management. Now he's focused on rebuilding," an insider told Rob Shuter. "People genuinely thought the franchise was dead," the source continued, referring to the sexual harassment lawsuit filed by Blake against Justin. "Studios were nervous. Producers didn't know if the sequel had become too toxic to touch," added the source.
Now, Justin believes that "audiences are ready to move on." "He thinks the focus can finally return to the movies instead of the drama," the tipster said. The confidant further shared that Justin is open to the idea of working with Blake again.
"Justin would work with Blake again if it helped save the franchise," the source said. "He's not interested in revenge. He just wants to make movies again," added the insider.
For those unaware, the first sequel of 'It Ends With Us' was released in cinemas on August 9th, 2024. Justin and Blake played lead roles in the movie.
