Blake Lively teases 'bonkers' A Simple Favour sequel and explains major clue in first film

Blake Lively has unveiled a hidden detail from her popular thriller A Simple Favour, which most fans probably overlooked.

The Hollywood starlet has been in the news recently due to legal disputes with her It Ends With Us co-star, Justin Baldoni. However, she's gearing up to launch a brand new project next month, following her role in a highly praised 2018 mystery drama.

In Another Simple Favour, Lively returns as Emily Nelson, who was incarcerated at the conclusion of the first film. She is joined by Anna Kendrick (Woman of the Hour), who portrays her on-screen best mate Stephanie Smothers.

Their tale picks up when Emily is freed from prison and is about to wed a rich Italian businessman (played by Michele Morrone).

Before flying off to her destination wedding in Capri, Italy, Emily asks Stephanie to be her maid of honour. Despite initial suspicions, Stephanie agrees to be part of the wedding party, reports .

At an early screening of the thriller in London, Lively hinted that audiences are in for a rollercoaster ride, labelling the sequel as 'bonkers.'

But she also disclosed a subtle hint from the first movie that indicated Emily was always concealing her true self.

When questioned about how Emily's iconic wardrobe changed for the sequel, Lively said: "In the first film, the way we always looked at it is that she's somebody who is always hiding and she's creating a persona so that she can disappear.

"So the pant suit was this character and it was very distinct and so she's breaking out of that."

The eagerly anticipated sequel to the thriller shows Emily sporting a less restrictive wardrobe, which is said to reflect her newfound trustworthiness.

"I feel like you trust her more when she, you know, has more variety. She has nothing to hide this time around," Lively remarked.

In the original film, there were subtle hints that Emily was haunted by her past, with her aversion to being photographed by Stephanie for the school yearbooks standing out as a key sign.

Yet, in the upcoming movie, it's the lead character's changing array of outfits that audiences are advised to watch closely for significant insights.

Another Simple Favour premieres on May 1 on Amazon Prime Video.
