The film version of It Ends with Us has finally arrived – and the internet is very, very excited. Adapted from cult favourite author and BookTok mainstay Colleen Hoover’s romance novel of the same name, the film stars Blake Lively , Justin Baldoni and Brandon Sklenar as leads Lily, Ryle and Atlas. {"@context":"https://schema.

Her co-star Brandon Sklenar, meanwhile, said he didn’t let diehard fans’ opinions of his character affect his portrayal, telling people he knew it was important to “do your thing with it and not be weighed down by what you think people might want to see or how they want to see it”. {"@.
