The shoot extended...

Nonetheless, Thomas sensed that something had happened between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. Originally, the shoot was scheduled to be of five days; however, it extended to two weeks. “What I did experience was filming that was taking longer than expected. What's happening here? Why are we taking so much time to film all of this scene? Why are we not on schedule?”Thomas additionally mentioned that he had worked with Blake during the shoot of ‘A Simple Favor,’ and the actress made sure that he received proper arrangements.

However, during ‘It Ends With Us,’ she seemed a bit off than usual.

Ryan Reynolds was on the set...

Little did he know, the silence would erupt into a sexual assault complaint and a legal case in entirety, which is scheduled to be on trial in March 2026. Furthermore, Thomas mentioned the presence of Ryan Reynolds on the set, which was usual. However, post the legal case, it led him to think about the conditions were so disastrous that he had to make sure Blake was fine on the set.
