Lily Bloom (Blake Lively) smiles at Ryle Kincaid (Justin Baldoni) in It Ends With Us

Summary It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni explains why he chose to age up the film's lead characters. Baldoni, best known for his work on Jane the Virgin, is the director and main star of the upcoming film It Ends With Us. The film is an adaptation of the Colleen Hoover novel of the same name, which was popularized on the TikTok subcommunity, BookTok.

When you have a book that is so in the zeitgeist, especially on a platform like TikTok and Instagram and social media, you're always going to have online chatter. There's always going to be opinions. I just knew from the beginning the type of movie I wanted to make was not about a 23-year-old girl. I wanted women of all ages to be able to see themselves, and aging up the characters, I think, really helps it become a universal story, and it takes it out of the YA genre. I believed, from the beginning, that Blake Lively is aspirational to young women and would never be seen as too old once they saw the movie.
