Director confirms 'A Simple Favor 2' is on track despite legal issues involving Blake Lively

The sequel to "A Simple Favor" is still on track, according to director Paul Feig. He dismissed claims that Blake Lively's legal issues with Justin Baldoni are delaying the film, stating, "The movie is finished and coming out soon." Feig clarified that the lack of a release date is due to post-production work, not Lively's legal battle. He explained that this process typically takes several months and emphasized that the studio is planning a spring or summer release. Feig also expressed support for Lively amid her legal complaints against Baldoni, who has denied the allegations. Baldoni is facing multiple lawsuits, including one from his former publicist.
