“A Simple Favor 2” is moving full-speed ahead toward its release this year, despite a viral post on X that claimed the sequel had been “shelved indefinitely” due to star Blake Lively’s “refusal to promote.” The rumor was debunked not just by Amazon MGM, who told TheWrap there was no truth to it, but also the film’s director Paul Feig who shot it down directly on X.
“This is total BS. Sorry. The movie is finished and coming out soon. Don’t believe anything you read on social media these days,” Feig said while quote-tweeting the initial rumor from a verified X user.
