Anna Kendrick is playing it coy when it comes to rumors about her professional relationship with co-star Blake Lively.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight while at South by Southwest (SXSW) for the premiere of “Another Simple Favor,” Kendrick shrugged off an inquiry when asked about what it meant to have reunited with Lively on the film.
“Oh, you know,” Kendrick quipped to the outlet last week before making her way down the red carpet.
On TikTok and Instagram, a clip of the “Pitch Perfect” actor’s remark drew a flurry of amusing responses, with viewers suggesting there had been “so much said with so few words.”
“She didn’t try to make up something nice to say,” one person wrote.
Added another, “She said I’m getting my check and not saying anything else.”
Kendrick and Lively are reprising their roles as Stephanie Smothers and Emily Nelson, respectively, in “Another Simple Favor,” a sequel to 2018 dark comedy “A Simple Favor.” The new film also stars Henry Golding, Allison Janney and Andrew Rannells.
This time around, however, the pair have faced rumors of an on-set feud. Much of the speculation likely stems from the headline-making legal turmoil that engulfed Lively and actor-director Justin Baldoni following the release of “It Ends With Us” last summer.
In January, “Another Simple Favor” director Paul Feig dismissed an online claim that his movie had been shelved because of a falling out between Kendrick and Lively, calling it “total BS.”

“The movie is finished and coming out soon. Don’t believe anything you read on social media these days,” he wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
When the original poster pushed for clarification as to why a release date hadn’t been publicly announced, Feig cited the film’s postproduction schedule.
“Movies don’t come out the second they’re finished because the studio spends the previous year deciding the best date to release it,” he wrote, according to Deadline. “We’ve always planned on something in the spring/summer of this year. That’s how movies work. I hope this helps.”
Kendrick, for her part, was notably more chatty when it came to both Lively and their “Another Simple Favor” experience while speaking to People last fall.
“She lives on the East Coast, I live on the West Coast, so we don’t get to see each other often,” she said. “But it was lovely, and I think that those characters have such weird chemistry that it’s so fun to just get the gang back together. And it does feel a little bit like riding a bike.”
