I’m so happy that they agreed to have a song in the trailer, it’s so perfect for the movie.”<\/span><\/p>\n In the trailer, Baldoni and Lively — who <\/span>star as Ryle Kincaid and Lily Bloom<\/a>, respectively — experience the early stages of love and romance before things take a sudden and drastic turn.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The film follows Lily, who finds herself in an abusive relationship and desperately searching for a way out, when a former friend — played by <\/span>Brandon Sklenar<\/a> — comes back into her life at the right time.

I know fans have been waiting a long time for this and it’s a very special book for a lot of reasons — to a lot of women, especially — and our mission is just to do right by them,” Baldoni shared.<\/span><\/p>\n Watch the trailer for<\/span> It Ends With Us<\/span><\/em> in the player below:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Just last week, the actor chatted with ET alongside Hoover, 44, and said he isn’t\u00a0<\/span>worried about the critiques<\/a>. Instead, the\u00a0<\/span>Jane the Virgin<\/span><\/em>\u00a0alum has one bit of advice for worried fans: “Just go see the movie.”<\/span><\/p>\n “I understand when you love something so much, you know, social media is amazing in [the] way it gives fans a voice,” he said. “And if it were not for the fans, we would not be making this movie. So let them talk. And I don’t worry about that too much.”<\/span><\/p>\n As for the pictures from the set that some fans critiqued,\u00a0Baldoni said that the photos only show “one moment from one part of Lily’s life” and don’t provide full context of what the film will actually look like.<\/span><\/p>\n
