Justin Baldoni on It Ends With Us Sequel
Baldoni explained to a TV insider, “I haven’t. I have no idea what that story would be. I’m somebody who’s just doing my best to stay in the present and stay in the here and in the now and not think too far ahead.”
He continues, “I’m just kind of doing my best to take this all in because it’s been five years to even get us here. So I can’t even fathom another story yet.”
Although he was uncertain about his part in the sequel he revealed to Entertainment Tonight that there are better people to take on the next instalment.
The actor-director whose rumored rift with the cast is quite noticeable during the premiere of the movie, said, “I think that there are better people for that one. I think Blake Lively’s ready to direct, that’s what I think.”
Colleen Hoover on the sequel
Hoover who is the author of the original book revealed to have no plans for the future.

At the end of the novel, Lily reunites with Atlas after dropping her daughter off to her father Ryle, with whom she got divorced.
