In addition to the stars, it was revealed that Patriot Act presenter Hasan Minhaj will portray her husband and Ryle’s closest friend Marshall, while SNL veteran Jenny Slate will play Alyssa, Ryle’s sister.
Atlas Corrigan, Lily’s first love, is portrayed by Brandon Sklenar, who is another member of the cast of the movie. It Ends With Us will feature numerous flashback scenes featuring younger versions of Atlas and Lily, just like the book.
