Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Despite the high-profile adaptation of the popular book coming to the big screen, It Ends with Us faces casting controversy around the age of one of the main characters. The upcoming movie is based on Colleen Hoover's 2016 book of the same name and will feature an objectively impressive cast that includes a handful of big names.
The adaptation is seemingly changing the ages of the story's main characters. While Lily and Ryle Kincaid are supposed to be 23 and 30 years old, respectively, in Hoover's novel, Lively and Justin Baldoni are in their mid-to-late-30s. It's unclear if anything else about It Ends with Us's narrative will change in the upcoming movie. However, given the reaction to Lively's casting, any small detail out of place could cause friction in the book's fanbase.
"Back when I wrote 'It Ends With Us,' the new adult was very popular. You were writing college-age characters. That's what I was contracted to do. I made Lily very young. I didn't know that neurosurgeons went to school for 50 years. There's not a 20-something neurosurgeon. As I started making this movie, I'm like, we need to age them out, because I messed up. So that's my fault.
