"No one's thinking to themselves, That was easy, because it wasn't," King said of filming the sequel. "I'm sure people will analyze every movement and every detail. And you know what? Let them. But at the end of the day, I was just thrilled to be Elle Evans again."
King and Elordi play love interests Elle Evans and Noah Flynn in the Kissing Booth movies. King said her love for her character outweighed any hesitation about working with Elordi again.
"Elle Evans needs her Noah Flynn, and whatever that means for my personal life, I'll do anything to make sure the story of my character who I care about so much is complete," she said.
