Another Simple Favor Recast An Important OG Character & The Sequel's Explanation Is Absurd

Another Simple Favor's recast character has received a ludicrous explanation. The new movie, which was helmed by director Paul Feig, is a follow-up to his 2018 movie A Simple Favor, which starred Anna Kendrick as a bubbly widowed mother named Stephanie Smothers who gets drawn into the orbit of the chic and dangerous Emily Nelson (Blake Lively) shortly before she disappears. The twisty thriller, which was based on the novel of the same name by Darcey Bell, was a box office success, grossing $97.6 million against its $20 million budget. It also earned a Certified Fresh 84% Rotten Tomatoes score.
